United Airlines has changed its baggage policy for Star Alliance Gold members flying on domestic routes. Until last month, Star Alliance Gold members could bring three checked bags for free, up to a maximum of 70 pounds per bag, when flying within the U.S. Now, Gold members will only be able to bring one checked bag of 50 pounds or less. Note that the change only applies to Star Alliance Gold members who are not United MileagePlus elite members. United Premier Gold elite members and above can continue to check up to three bags on domestic U.S. flights.
