Starting now, you’ll likely see a $5 to $10 increase depending on when you pay and where you’re flying. While a few extra dollars might not seem like much, it adds up fast for families and frequent flyers.

The good news? You don’t have to pay them. Here is how to skip the extra charges: 💳 Hold the Right Credit Card: Most United co-branded cards give you the first checked bag for free. 🎖️ Leverage Elite Status: Even entry-level Premier Silver status gets you a free bag. 🎒 Master the Carry-On: If you can fit it in the overhead, you keep that cash in your pocket. 📱 Pre-pay: If you must check a bag, paying at least 24 hours in advance is usually cheaper than paying at the airport.
