Checked one of my itineraries today and was surprised to see under the Seat number it shows "Bags: 2 Checked Bags". I'm star gold so that makes sense.

appears to still be a work in progress - Domestic, both passengers Plat

or if you’re thinking positive, maybe they’ll announce expanded checked bag waivers soon😀.

Definitely work in process - reservations show my bag allowances have doubled. I will check zero.

The number of checked bags does not necessarily mean no-fee checked bags.

WineCountryUA

No sure what else it is intended to mean in these circumstances -- (months) pre-travel, pre-checkin.

Mine shows that too- correctly shows 3 checked bag (economy, 3 pax on PNR).
If you click on the blue "3 checked bags" it then brings you to the bag page where it lists the free bag and you can purchase extra.

When I click the "x checked bags" I get an error page:
Obviously still a work in progress, as others said. I have two reservations with the same two pax on them. Curiously, one shows 12 bags, and one shows 6 bags.

As we've seen, right now it means nothing. Bad information is worse than no information.

Sowing for me as well as UA gold in the village on the red eye outbound and the pointy end on the return flight

I have an award ticket coming up for an international flight booked in coach. I'm 1K. Correctly shows 3 free checked bags for me.

I suppose it saves scrolling down further to see bag allowances on the itinerary, but overall meh.

I have an international trip with my wife. The domestic segments show 12 bags, but only 6 bags for the international segments. Both are 1K.
Another trip to LIH with segments of HNL-LIH on Hawaiian Air show 12 bags for outbound but 6 bags for return.

I'm not going to be the guinea pig on this, but I think the number includes both free and any bags you have already pre-paid for, which would be different than simply saving scrolling down (if you have purchased).. My summary for a domestic trip as a silver with me + 1 other pax correctly shows 2 checked bags. When you click in, I can see the following more detailed info:


Like I said, I'm not going to be a guinea pig and give UA an extra $40 for something I'm not going to use, but I'd guess if I were to pre-pay for another bag, it would change to 3 checked bags, as well as update the additional columns in the details. Maybe someone else who needs to or has already paid for an additional bag can share experience at some point.

I have a simple round trip (2 segments each direction/4 segments total) as a 1K in D class outbound, C class return all UA or UAX metal and flight #s. The itinerary page is correct (3 bags shown per segment) but if you click the hyperlink it gets...uh...confused:


Although coherence seems to be an issue with UA-messaging regarding bags based on the email I got at IAD yesterday:

"Heavy rain and gusty winds from Tropical Storm Elsa are slowing down our airport operations across the Baltimore-Washington metro area today, limiting gate availability and reducing the number of arrivals and departures per hour -- even reuniting you with your checked bag in a timely manner. "
