The check in baggage allowance is free for certain customers only. These are Active US Miliary members or their dependents, MileagePlus Premier members. If you are any of these, then you are entitled to some free check in baggage allowance, depending on status level. So, please do let us know what MileagePlus membership you hold and whether you are active US military person or a dependent, or not.
