So I have been traveling taking care of customers for the past few weeks/months. I have hit some nice status with some of the airlines and hotels. For instance today, I got a complimentary upgrade to 1st Class on one leg of my trip from Minneapolis to Orlando, unfortunately it was the short flight from Minneapolis to Chicago. Still it was pretty funny to watch the VP walk past me.
Anyway, I sent the following question to an airlines, using my frequent flier number.
Hello-
I am curious what the weight limit is per bag for a Premiere Executive member flying domestically. I reviewed my documentation and the documentation online at http://www.united.com/ual/asset/MP_Guide_041111.pdf I could not find anything more descriptive then “Extra bag or bag weight allowance on Star Alliance.” I remember it being 70 pounds per bag domestically without a charge, but I am not sure so I wanted to check.
I got the following response.
Hello Mr. Benn,

Helpful, eh? This comes after today I had to take 1 pound out of my suitcase at check in.
