I just wanted to check with you all to see about boarding and baggage for *G
companions. The language on .bomb is pretty clear about Premier companions receiving benefits, but not about *G and/or credit cardholders:
Based on
usfly's post from earlier this year, it seems like a non-UA Star Gold's companion will get Group 2 and carry-on (and 1 checked bag each too?). Is that really the case? Thanks!
Yes you'll still get all normal *G benefits. I flew UA BE a few weeks ago as *G and you still get 1 free bag for you and 1 companion, as well as Premier Access including Group 2 boarding so you will be allowed to bring a carry on. You can also check in online, unlike other BE nok status customers.
