Watch Out For These Nashville Flight Traps

United charges $25 for the first checked bag during search, but adds a $15 "bag tag fee" at check-in that’s not visible in initial price displays. I learned this the hard way when my UA 1248 flight from Chicago ORD had $40 total baggage costs instead of the quoted $25. Always confirm baggage fees at checkout—Booking.com adds a 14.5% "taxes and fees" surcharge not shown in headline prices.
