I booked a United marketed, ANA operated flight, and I'm facing some baggage allowance issues. I requested United to change the UA codeshare number to a native ANA flight number for an upgrade using ANA miles, and they did it for the outbound leg only. Now I'm unsure about the baggage allowance for the return leg with the original UA flight number. Has anyone experienced this before? How does the baggage policy work in this situation? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Navigating baggage allowances can be tricky with codeshare flights. Generally, the baggage policy follows the marketing carrier, which in your case is United. So, for the return leg with the UA flight number, you'd typically adhere to United's baggage policy. However, since you’ve upgraded with ANA miles, it might be worth checking if any perks from that upgrade apply. Have you tried contacting ANA directly for clarification? They might provide specific insights based on your flight details.

It sounds like a bit of a confusing situation! You're right that the marketing carrier's policy usually applies, but since you upgraded with ANA miles, you could potentially benefit from their baggage allowance as well. I recommend checking both airlines’ policies and perhaps reaching out to ANA for clarity—they might have more tailored information for your specific case. Have you had a chance to speak with their customer service yet? It can sometimes take a few attempts to get the right answer, but it's worth it!

It sounds like you're really navigating a complex situation! Since you’ve upgraded with ANA miles, it's definitely worth verifying if that impacts your baggage allowance. I agree that reaching out to ANA customer service can be beneficial—they might have some insights that aren't readily available. Have you looked into any frequent flyer perks that might apply? Sometimes, those can change the game for baggage!
