To where and on what airlines (does UA have any international out of BOS?)

Some airlines, and some countries/airport have very specific rules around the maximum weight of a bag.

eg, Australian law says that all bags must be no more than 70lbs for health/safety reasons. Of course, that doesn't explain the 50 lbs one...
