I am a UA Prem Platinum and wife and child are not. The international itinerary shows the checked baggage allowance on UA stock as 2 bags free for ORD-BLR but for the return BLR-ORD it only shows first bag free and second bag as $100.
Your questions have been answered but just wanted to point out that UA is scheduled to start their direct SFO-BLR flight from the end of May. If you can route IAH-SFO-BLR-SFO-IAH it will save you one change in both directions and you will retain your United status benefits throughout.
