UAL response to a question about Retiree Baggage Waiver policy
United received your email and asked the Employee Travel Center to respond to your question. We 
appreciate your patience as we looked into each of your concerns and questions. 
I would like to first clarify when purchasing a revenue ticket or a myUAdiscount ticket, there is no boarding 
priority advantage as you obtain a confirmed status. When traveling space available on a personal or 
vacation pass, this is when the boarding priorities become effective. Employees and retirees may not use 
their company status in conjunction with a revenue type ticket to receive certain fees waived. Company 
approved fees are waived when traveling on company approved pass travel privilege type tickets such as 
myUAdiscount and space-available tickets. 
Upon review of your revenue ticket, PNR J----8, our records indicate you did not purchase "a full fare 
revenue ticket" but instead an economy ticket. Note: when purchasing a refundable full fare economy ticket, 
baggage fees still apply. 
Economy ticket rules for PNR J----8: 
non-refundable 
14 day advance purchase 
change fee applies plus any additional collection 
travel valid on Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturdays 
Here are a few specifics between non-refundable economy revenue, myUAdiscount and space- available 
tickets.
