In addition to the new limit of a single checked bag on United flights, there is actually more bad news from the fine folks at the not so friendly skies. In the same announcement, United also doubled the cost of an overweight bag.
In the (now) good old days, if your bag weighed between 51 and 70 pounds, the extra charge was fifty bucks. The new overweight charge is now $100. personally, I don't have that much of a problem with $25 for the second bag. But for divers, overweight is the norm and charging a hundred bucks for a bag that weighs 51 pounds is unreasonable, in my opinion.
Oh, I just remembered, my uncle and aunt both work for United --time for a little family chat.
