I ask because I'm getting ready to travel with the family and it would be much easier for us to travel with our one gigantic bag with four wheels, which weighs in around 60 pounds fully loaded, rather than breaking it into two bags (plus a carseat, stroller, pak-n-play, and the 3 year old and 3 month old). I was planning on splitting the reservation next week, a week out, so my upgrade would clear, giving me the extra baggage/weight allowance.
There is no difference between paid F and EUA F. I recently checked two bags over 50, one of which was technically over girth (they would have been within policy to charge me for that one but it was close so they let it slide), plus a third bag for $0 on an upgraded discount fare.
