Several years ago two bags were allowed free, although this was not widely known. UA was, at that time, charging for a second bag, LAX to Manila. However, a certain code: G*75, as I recall would allow the agent to permit two free bags. Code may not be excatly correct, but I know this to be true as I accompanied a friend to LAX a day before her flight to check this out. Took four agents before a supervisor typed in the correct code and my friend was allowed two bags, no charge. I thought, how many thousands of dollars did UA realize simply because of misinformed agents. Just curious, is this still the case: UA to Manila, two free bags with right code punched into computer. Thanks Jay
They offer 2 bags for free (23kg each). You can verify for yourself by checking out the baggage section on United's website.
