3. I saw something that you have to have a checked bag to use online check-in. Is that true for elites? Would I get a free checked bag as a 1K? And could I use this trick to get online check-in even if I don't actually check a bag?
4. Is there any way to change your "randomly" assigned seat before departure (like if we get separated middle seats)?
Thanks!
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Not true for elites, and, yes, you still get your free checked bag allowances. No need to trick anything.
4. No. If you want to sit with your companions, UA does not want you to buy this fare.
