United excess overweight and oversized baggage fees
Baggage must abide by the size,weight or quantity limitations imposed by the airline. Additional charges will be applied if the baggage doesn’t meet these requirements. If your baggage is found to exceed the limits, you will need to pay the corresponding fees for each violation. You may also be charged an oversize/overweight fee if your baggage exceeds the maximum allowed dimensions.
Baggage fees are very high. For example, if you’re flying from New York to Seattle, and you’ve got two checked bags weighing 3 pounds each, you’ll be charged $300 for those two bags. And if you want to check an extra bag, then you’ll be paying $100 per bag.
