At least they are getting this message out fast

Dear Mr. XXXXXX

We want you to be among the first to know about changes to our checked baggage policy and revised fees for excess, oversized and overweight baggage and special items.

Today, we are announcing that for tickets issued on or after June 13, 2008 for travel on or after August 18, 2008, a $15 service fee will apply to check one bag for United Economy® travel within the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada. As previously announced, a $25 service fee will apply to check a second bag.

As a valued 1K® member of Mileage Plus®, you will continue to be exempt from both first and second checked bag fees.

It is our pleasure to inform you that you can still check three bags free of charge, up to 70 pounds (32 kg) per piece. All traveling companions on your reservation can each check two bags free of charge, up to 50 pounds (23 kg) per piece. As always, you can skip check-in lines at the airport by using EasyCheck-in OnlineSM, even when checking bags.

We would like to remind you that additional baggage fees apply to check more than three bags, or if any bags are oversized, overweight and/or considered special items. These fees are also changing and the revised fees will apply to tickets purchased on or after June 13, 2008 for travel on or after August 18, 2008. Please visit the Oversized, overweight and excess baggage and Special items sections on united.com for details on these fees.

Also, as one of our most valued guests, you are invited to be among the first to board your flight so you can find ample space for your carry-on bags, by using specially-designated Premium Boarding lanes marked with a red carpet. Or choose to board at your leisure, knowing that you'll have front-of-the-line access at any time. Premium Boarding is now available at nearly 60 airports system-wide.

For details on our baggage policies and frequently asked questions, you are invited to visit united.com/baggage.

As always, we thank you for your business and look forward to welcoming you onboard soon.
