Travelers who purchase Basic Economy and have indicated that they're not bringing a checked bag need to see a United representative to complete their check-in. Once you arrive at the airport, visit an airport kiosk or check-in counter to verify your onboard bag allowance and receive a boarding pass.
You may complete check-in online if you indicate that you'll have a checked bag.
AAAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Not a problem. Just pretend you are checking baggage, print your boarding pass and everything is fine. Do it all the time.
