1) I'm thinking i can check the bags through since XN is not basic economy?
2) if I want to take 2 bags, then will i have to pay for the 2nd bag to UA (even if TK allows 2 free bags) if i'm checking through?
Thank you!
yes, that won't be a problem to check them through, but UA will charge you for the 2nd bag. If the TATL was in business class you might get lucky and not pay for the 2nd bag. TK giving 2 bags for free means nothing to UA. On the way back you should get 2 bags for free if you can convince TK to check it all the way through which will be YMMV.
