Have not flown United in years (been flying Delta) and much has changed. I see they don't allow ANY carry on bags on the basic econmy fare, but they allow them on standard economy. There are all sorts of warnings and some conflicting info on the website.
1. Standard economy supposedly allows both a carryon and a personal item. Is this correct?
2. Is the carryon in Standard economy at no charge, or does Standard Economy just give you the right to pay United even more to take a carry on?
3. The warnings about carry on bags indicate specific dimensions. I've used the same bag for over 20 years and it has fit in all overhead bins, but it is about 1/2" larger in one dimension and 3/4" larger in another than the dimensions on United's site. How strict are they on this?
