SOT: UA to charge $25 for second checked bag
For people on non-refundable tickets, unless you have MP or minimum silver *A status.

First bag - free

Second bag - $25

Third bag - over-limit charges apply

It says this is domestic, but I wonder, from the checkin times listed, whether it also applies to transborder.

What if you book thru AC but fly on UA metal, do you have it pay the $25?

I prefer they way AC do it where the price of the baggage is included but you can deduct money if you don't check baggage!

If you check in with AC, then presumably AC rules apply.

This thread is clearly 'off topic' enough to warrant moving.

Question is... where you prefer it moved to...

Canada?
or United?
