I dont forsee myself walking up to check in with Carrier X with 3 bags @ 70 lbs each (which UA will give me as a 1K) w/o being prepared to pay alot for being over both weight and in # of allowed bags, flying in Coach
I have found that most *A follow piece concept which allows for 2x50lb bags as *G and not weight concept of 70lb that UA offers. My policy for international is not to exceed 50lb - agree with you, showing up in EU with a 70lb bag is asking for pain.
