oversize baggage allowance for elite 1K
My ticket says that I'm eligible to check in up to 3 bags @ 70lbs each.
For my upcoming international travel on Jan. 16 I plan to have two normal-size bags (<62" total dimensions) @ 69lbs each and one slightly over-sized bag (74" total dimensions) at 49lbs.
My past experience has been that UA will accept the above three bags as being consistent with my baggage allowance of 3 free bags. In other words, 1 normal bag weighing 70lbs = 1 oversize bag weighing 50lbs. Is that interpretation still correct, or has UA policy changed? Or, is it simply dependent on interpretation by the check-in agent?
Thanks (and Happy New Year!)
