The ticket does specifically state that in accordance with US DOT regulations the baggage policy for my entire ticket (it's a one-way) is determined by EuroWings.

I only need to check one bag due to oversize toiletries but I can probably dump them if EW is going to charge me. The baggage charge is probably more than the value of the toiletries I would dump if I had to.

I flew EW over Summer. PMI-MUC connecting to UA flight MUC-SFO.

I did not have an issue with my bag but I think the limit was 50lbs instead of 70lbs.. I am *G.

A bigger pain was the carryon on the initial part of the trip with EW: MUC-PMI. They made me check my carryon at the gate even though there was so much overhead luggage space. I had to carry my laptops and chargers onto the bus and up the stairs on the tarmac. Most ridiculous thing so watch out for that.
