I feel like there's always a tradeoff. In the past year I've flown both Frontier and United. Frontier makes you pay for your bags (except for a single personal item), while United gives you a free carry-on and checked bag.
It would seem as though Frontier is milking you until you look at the ticket price. I calculated that if I took that United flight with Frontier instead and paid for 1 carry on + 1 checked bag (what United offered for free), the flight would still be cheaper than the United flight.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoUnited basic economy does not give you a free carry on or checked bag, and United economy does not give you a free checked bag. And it has been that way for 10+ years. https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/travel/inflight/basic-economy.html https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/travel/inflight/basic-econo... >Carry-on bags are not included unless you're flying to Canada, South America, across the Atlantic or on an international flight across the Pacific.
