If you’re flying the United States, Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean you’ll save on checked bag fees on United Airlines. Now you can bring two checked bags for free.

United Airlines is eliminating checked bag fees on the second checked bag on Hong Kong flights. Passengers flying to/from Hong Kong from North America can check two bags for free. You’ll still pay fees for oversized or overweight bags.

In celebration of free second checked bags and the “Year of the Dog” United is offering special fares to China and Hong Kong. Rates are valid from January 9, 2018, to February 16, 2018, and April 2, 2018, through June 10, 2018.

Fares are as low as $492 round-trip. You can book on http://united.com/China and http://united.com/HongKong. These rates are also available through online travel agencies like Expedia.

With free second checked bags and inexpensive round-trip prices, now’s a good time to visit China. Are you going to book a flight?
