Looks like United will wait to the last minute to implement 14 CFR 399.87. US DOT previously announced it would delay enforcement of 14 CFR 399.87 which is the US take on IATA resolution 302 on Baggage fees and allowances until 24 July 2012.
I found the following on
SAS's web site while reviewing how carriers were notifying people of the requirements of either IATA 302 of 14 CFR 399.87
Travel to and from the US
Generally, the same rules apply for travel to and from the US. There are three exceptions:
- Other rules apply for so-called codeshare flights. To and from the US, the airline with which you have booked and is stated in your ticket and travel documents determines the baggage concept.
- The baggage rules apply both for outbound and inbound travel. For example, if SAS' baggage concept applies on your journey to the US, it is also SAS' baggage concept that applies on the return even if you have been away and make a stopover.
- Our partner United Airlines will apply its own baggage fees regardless of the codeshare rules and rules for outbound and inbound travel until the end of July. You may be charged for check-in baggage if you start your journey in the US. Read more about the baggage allowance and fee policies for United Airlines here: www.united.com/baggageservices
