An added item not mentioned in this article is that UA, as well as the $25 for bag#2 they have a charge for bag#1.
If it exceeds 50 pounds weight, the charge is $25. If it weighs 50 to 75 pounds this will cost $50 and over 75 pounds it is $100.
And I would guess if bag#2 exceeds 50 pounds this same charge will also apply.
And certainly at DFW UA has a lot of people transferring to international destinations in India and Africa and it is heart breaking to see families with 6, 7 or even 10 very large suitcases full of items for their relatives. In some cases they have had to abandon their trips because it is too expensive for them to take all their goodies.
