holdon216 Posted August 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I am waiting on Carnival to call me back to possibly book air from NJ to Barcelona with them. They are allowing me to choose my seats. Normally bags would then be included in the International flight. BUT, United's checked bags are 60.00 when booking "Basic Economy". Which does not allow you to pick your seats. So, my question is. Has anyone flown United Internationally and were able to pick their seats but still had to pay additional for their checked bags? I'm just trying to come up with total charges.

Zach1213 Posted August 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The rules of basic economy are pretty clear (per https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/inflight/basic-economy.aspx) - no seat selection (and once assigned by them, it can't be changed), and the first bag costs, even on trans-Atlantic. If you want a seat selection and a checked bag, I would recommend looking at regular economy (not basic) fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
