Premier Gold: Is there a max number of passengers on same PNR to get free bags?
As Gold I get 2 free bags up to 70 lbs -- do all passengers on same PNR also get 2 free bags? Or is it limited to 1 additional passenger? I know E+ seating is limited to one extra person...

Used to be documented -- see https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unit...e-charges.html . Is no longer documented; I cannot find the current benefit published. But I might be bad at looking.
Back when it was documented, the checked bag benefit applied to everyone on the same reservation. But this was back when the very generous benefit applied to all *G, not just UA Gold (this has changed a bit).

Travel companions of MileagePlus Premier members will have the same exemptions as the Premier member whose status provides the benefit, as long as they are traveling on the same reservation. Exemptions do not apply to group reservations of 10 or more customers.

I interpret 9:

We always define it by companion, since we clearly exempt the Premier.

This is interesting; flying SFO-CDG, I have UA*G, my son is GM, and the choice was to either bring bag#4 on board or pay for it. This was real life, not theory. If policy is that he gets the same allowance I do, when on the same reservation, that's great news! Was not aware of that. Thanks!
