United Airlines (UA) will charge the following for U S domestic flights for bags that are greater than the standard 50 pounds or 23 kilograms: 51 to 70 pounds or 24 to 32 kilograms: $100.00 USD to $200 USD extra per bag. 71 to 100 pounds or 33 to 46 kilograms: $400.00 USD extra per bag.

If your checked bag is over 50 pounds (23 kg) but under 70 pounds (32 kg) on United Airlines, you will be charged an overweight fee in addition to any standard checked bag fees. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what to expect:

United’s Overweight Baggage Fees (for travel within the U.S./Canada and International)

1. Bags 51-70 lbs (23-32 kg):

   • Domestic/U.S. Routes: $100-$200 overweight fee (plus your standard checked bag fee, if applicable).
   • International Routes: $100-$200 overweight fee (plus any applicable checked bag fee).
   • Note: The exact fee within this range depends on your route and fare class. It’s typically $100 for most U.S. domestic and transatlantic flights, and $200 for flights to/from certain international destinations (like Asia, South Pacific, etc.). Always check United’s website for your specific itinerary.

2. Bags 71-100 lbs (32-45 kg):

   • Not allowed on most United flights. You will be required to repack your bag or ship your items separately. For some specially pre-arranged shipments (like sports equipment or musical instruments), different rules and fees may apply, but you must contact United in advance.

Important Considerations & Tips:

• Maximum Dimensions: The linear dimensions (length + width + height) must also not exceed 62 inches (158 cm), or an oversized fee will apply in addition to an overweight fee.
• Premium Cabin
