United’s interline baggage rules depend on whether the flights are on the same ticket and whether the partners are members of the Star Alliance.
United Interline Baggage Policy
- If the United‑issued itinerary includes flights operated by Star Alliance members such as EVA Air and Asiana, United will allow checked bags to be through‑checked to the final destination.
- This applies whether the flights are on a single reservation or on separate tickets, as long as the separate‑ticket itinerary contains a Star Alliance‑operated segment. 🔗
- United will not interline bags for passengers traveling on a Basic Economy fare, even if the itinerary contains Star Alliance partners. 🔗
- When the itinerary does not include a Star Alliance carrier, or when a Basic Economy fare is used, bags must be claimed at the connection point and re‑checked for the next carrier.🔗
So, for a United‑issued ticket that includes an EVA Air segment and a return Asiana segment, your bags can generally be checked through to the end of the trip unless you are on a Basic Economy ticket.

International Baggage Fees
Even though I live in hotels full time, I’m still traveling with my Tumi Carry-On.

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
