Here’s the baggage weight and size policy for a United‑issued ticket that includes an EVA Air operated segment and a return Asiana segment.
Checked Baggage
- United’s standard checked‑baggage limit is 50 lb (23 kg) per bag and a maximum linear dimension of 62 inches (157 cm).
- Asiana’s published economy allowance is two bags of up to 23 kg each. 🔗
- Because the itinerary is on a single United reservation and both EVA Air and Asiana are Star Alliance partners, the bags are through‑checked and must meet the most restrictive limits, which are United’s 50 lb/62‑inch rule. 🔗
- If you hold a United Premier status, the checked‑baggage weight allowance increases to 70 lb (32 kg) per bag, but the size limit of 62 inches remains the same.🔗
Carry‑On Baggage
- United’s carry‑on size limit is a maximum outside linear dimension of 45 inches (height + width + depth) and no single side may exceed 22 inches.
- The personal item must not exceed 36 linear inches and must fit under the seat in front of you.🔗
In short, your bags will be subject to United’s standard checked‑baggage limits, with the added allowance of up to two 23 kg bags if you’re traveling in economy on Asiana, and you must keep carry‑ons within United’s size restrictions.

Will My Carry-On Bag Fit? Master Chart of 150+ Airlines Carry-On Luggage Weight & Dimension Restrictions
Airline policies often baffle me. The carry-on luggage restrictions are mind-boggling, to say the least. There are no standards and each airline sets their own rules. I was reminded of this a few weeks ago. I was in a mall and walked by a House of Samsonite store. Inside the store were signs showing luggage dimensions and weights for a few airlines. I found the signs helpful, but also realized they were obviously incomplete for those of us who travel a lot and use a broad variety of airlines. That got me wondering, and sometimes when I go

International Baggage Fees
Even though I live in hotels full time, I’m still traveling with my Tumi Carry-On. I haven’t been planning my travel more than a few days in advance this summer (if that), so it’s hard to justify taking more luggage internationally. Not sure how I’d carry this many bags, even if I could check them all for free However, I recognize many people prefer to check bags, particularly when traveling internationally, and I get questions every day asking if bags will be checked through, how many bags one can take on a given airline, etc. So I

United Changes Baggage Policy On Award Tickets And For Gold Elites
Seriously, no one changes their baggage policy as many times as United does. They have changed/updated their baggage policy at least 7 times over the past year. Many of those changes have not been noticeable to the US-based traveler, but a couple have stood out. The first was from last October when they gutted the extra baggage allotments for Star Alliance Gold members. One that came about just last week as they announced they will stop checking bags through to your final destination when traveling on non-Star Alliance carriers (but checking in with United). But, the most recent change

United’s Strict New Carry-On Policy or Business as Usual?
Word leaked last month that United Airlines would begin to strictly enforce its carry-on policy on March 1, 2014 and new carry-on sizers began popping up around the gate areas of many United stations. MileagePlus members received e-mails outlining the new baggage policy this week and an internal memo was sent out instructing airport staff at all steps of the check-in process to monitor for carry-on compliance. Today, the new policy officially went into effect, but reports from travellers have been surprising: business as usual, with many passengers still hauling the kitchen sink onboard with no objection from the gate

Loathe them all you like, but unfortunately, checked baggage fees are here to stay. Thankfully, there are a number of ways you can reduce the cost or eliminate checked luggage fees altogether.

Another Airline Lowering Max Checked Luggage Weight To 40 Pounds
Remember when you used to fly, you could check your bag for free? Yeah, those days are long gone. Nearly all U.S.-based airlines charge a fee for checked bags up to 50 pounds, as well as an overage fee for bags between 50 and 100 pounds. There had been only 3 outliers to that. Southwest Airlines accepts the first two checked bags for free, provided they don’t exceed 50 lbs and 62 linear inches. And both Spirit and Allegiant Airlines have a maximum of 40 pounds (not 50) before they charge you overage. Unfortunately, you can add one
