1. Can my luggage be checked in BLR through to EWR? Any issue with interline transfer between JetAirways & UA?
2. Since my connecting flight will be in C, do I still have to pay for checked luggage for the Economy segment from BLR to BOM?
Assuming you are on a single PNR, you will get international baggage allowance for the same even though you are traveling in economy on the BLR-BOM sector.
Your luggage should be through checked in to EWR, however you will clear immigration and customs at BOM. You would however not get lounge access at BLR, but should get one on arrival at BOM (BOM international terminal has only a temporary lounge operational currently. I believe airlines do not have a dedicated lounge planned.)
Assuming you land at the domestic wing in BOM, do not go out of the airport, but head to the transfer desk and take the shuttle over to the new international terminal.
I suggest you read the connecting at BOM airport thread for other queries that you may have.
