UA often gets the wrong bag allowance for partners.
AC, unless something has changed relatively recently, typically shows the generic bag allowance without status for all flights, then somewhere on the site shows a note stating the free bags for AP elites/*G. I think, though can’t remeber for sure, that they do have a bag calculator on their site showing the correct bag alllowance.

Thanks. Yeah, hope that's it. I was more worried about the *G benefit (such as early boarding), but even this is not a biggie. I'll just make sure to bring my 1K and UC cards for MLL access at YUL (which reminds me, I once showed up at YVR MLL with a transborder F ticket, a 1K card, and a UC card, and asked the lounge attendant to "pick one" ).
).edit: Never mind. You must be referring to a return flight.

Yes, the return from YUL. My fault, I should have been more clear and stated that I booked a RT ticket.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, I do have a similar issue here. Booked BOS-YUL on united.com, economy, non-stop, AC operated, UA flight number (UA 8XXX). But both UA and AC sites say I need to pay for bags, even though I am 1K. I actually don't plan to check bags, but do want *G benefits if necessary. Looks like AC took my MileagePlus number, but may not recognize my *G? Will this issue be resolved at check in, or should I take an action before hand?
