However, if you’re traveling Basic Economy, then you’ll be allowed to carry along only one personal item and no other piece of baggage. An exception is made for Basic Economy passengers flying on trans-Atlantic flights and for the ones who are Premier® members or primary card members with a qualifying Mileage Plus credit card.
Please note that if you’re traveling by Basic Economy and don’t fall under the above mentioned criteria, and bring along a full-sized piece of baggage with you, then you would need to book that piece of baggage as checked baggage and it would require you to pay a checked baggage fee in addition to $25 gate handling charges.
