Booked my tickets to go to India with Lufthansa. Checked baggage allowance SEVERAL times. Now it's taking me to United to check-in and United is only allowing 1 bag to be checked in. Other one apparently is $100. Is there anyway I can fight or salvage this situation?! (We're traveling a party of 4 so I'm looking at extra baggage charges of $400 one way) .

Take less stuff? I moved to India for 6 months and only brought 1 bag.

How long is the visit? Does everyone really need two bags? I’m guessing two people are kids, so can they at least just have one bigger bag each?

If you have Marriott status you should be able to status match to united silver. That will get you another free bag

Dad passed away 2 months ago. I traveled to India and stayed for 2 months, dealt with significant red tape to close his cards, loans, transfer pensions, etc. A succession certificate is WIP for one of his accounts, so mom decided to stay back until it’s done. Mom has always refused to hire a maid, loves to hoard, cleans superficially, the house is always a mess when I visit and all my India trips are spent cleaning including this one. I’ve fought with her a ton over the last two months as well..

venting
I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.
