If you have status on an airline (meaning you get 1 or 2 bags checked free) do you still have to pay the per bag fee or just the $25 overall fee?

Yes, I had to even with status when we cruised from FLL

Is Easy Check only for USA ports? Do they allow this in Canada or Europe?

Only in Fort Lauderdale. Seattle has a different but similar program.

Thank you for this information.   If transatlantic from London, does EZ check still qualify?  

Also, if flying First Class and no baggage fees are charged, does United still charge for this extra handling?

We just flew back from a T/A on the 23rd. We used EZ check for the three large bags FLL>SFO, best $50.00 ever spent. Put the bags in the hallway on the ship that last night and retrieved them in SFO. If you are flying first/business or otherwise don't have to pay the normal luggage fees, they will also be deferred for EZ check, there is a place to advise the status or reason, and likely will be checked. We flew first and only had to pay our $25.00 pp. as our first two bags each were included in the fare. The fees shown above would apply if you had to pay the usual baggage fees.

Worth every penny to not have to deal with luggage until you get to your final airport.

Just the $25 fee.  There is a spot on the form that addresses checked bags status.
