When flying from Indian airports with United Airlines, passengers are allowed both carry-on and checked baggage, subject to fare type and frequent flyer status.

Passengers are allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a laptop bag or handbag, at no additional cost. The carry-on bag must measure no more than 22 x 35 x 56 cm (including handles and wheels), while the personal item should be small enough to fit under the seat in front.

Checked Baggage

For international flights from India to the U.S. and other destinations, United Airlines typically includes one or two checked bags in the fare, depending on the travel class:

Economy Class: 1 free checked bag up to 23 kg (50 lbs)

Premium Economy / United Premium Plus: 2 free checked bags up to 23 kg each

Business and First Class: 2 free checked bags up to 32 kg (70 lbs) each

Maximum bag dimensions are 158 cm (length + width + height).

Additional Bags and Overweight Fees

Extra checked baggage or overweight luggage is subject to additional charges. Bags weighing between 23–32 kg in Economy, or over 32 kg in other classes, as well as oversized items, will incur applicable surcharges.

MileagePlus and Star Alliance Status

Premier Silver and higher MileagePlus members, along with Star Alliance Gold members, may qualify for extra baggage allowances or waived fees.

It is recommended that passengers confirm the baggage policies at the time of booking, as allowances can differ depending on the route and ticket category.
