I just checked on Virgin America and it appears that they have similar policies. Below is a copy from their website:

Virgin America guests may check one bag free of charge that can weigh up to 70 pounds. All checked bags may have a maximum size of is 62 inches, which is calculated by adding the length plus the width plus the height. Additional bags, oversized bags, and overweight bags will be assessed a fee. Here’s the breakdown.

Additional bags:

Bag two – $10 weighing up to 50 lbs.
Bags three through ten – $50 weighing up to 50 lbs.
Overweight bags:

Bag one – $50 (71 to 100 lbs.)
Bags two through ten:

$25 (51 to 70 lbs.)
$50 (71 to 100lbs.)
Guests traveling with Virgin America in the First Class cabin may check in two pieces of baggage. The first bag may be up to 62 linear inches and weigh 70 pounds. The second bag may also be up to 62 linear inches and may weigh up to 50 pounds. Normal excess fees would apply to oversize and/or overweight bags as well as extra pieces.

Oversized bags – $50 (63 to 100 inches)

It’s beyond the scope of this chart to go into the elite benefits of each airline…
As the chart indicates, United allows non-elites traveling with elites to take 2 free bags.

Levi….what are the dates you were able to do this 75,000 mileage itinerary?
I am looking for a two week trip to include Israel and Europe, Business Class, at the end of August/beginning of September.
I have 220,000 Continental miles and 200,000 BA miles.
Thanks

loyal reader,
I’m not sure what your looking to do, but let me tell you about an amazing itinerary i put together for myself. Newark to Venice with a two day stop over in Paris all in coach. And then returning from Rome to JFK with a two day stop over in London all in Business for a total of 75,000 miles!! Continental!!

The best I was able to do after a full day of research is;
JFK – Zurich via LHR with BA for 100,000 miles, return, business class. Rome (FCO) – TLV via LHR, Continental airlines, business class, 110,000, return. This is for the end of August through the beginning of September. I have 3 days to confirm these reservations. Can I do any better and how? I have 220,000 Continental miles and 200,000 BA miles.
