Does United have a weight limit for carry-on bags?

United Airlines generally does not specify a maximum weight limit for standard carry-on bags or personal items.

Instead they focus on size limits and the practical requirement that you must be able to lift the bag into the overhead bin without assistance.

Here are the typical maximum size limits you should be aware of:

Carry-on Bag (fits in overhead bin : $9 \times 14 \times 22$ inches ($23 \times 35 \times 56$ cm - including handles and wheels., call at +1^866^579^8033
