The CEO of Southwest Airlines Gary Kelly announced that they will continue to allow passengers to check two bags for free on their planes. All other major airlines are now charging up to $25 to $30 per bag each way a traveler flies. That adds up to $50 to $60 dollars more for just one bag for passengers to take. These cost on other airlines also double for two bags and in some instances the cost of a second check bag is even more than the cost of the first bag.
Southwest Airlines has continually offered good service, clean planes and when you buy a ticket from them that is all you are going to pay for – there won’t be any additional costs when you show up for your flights like other airlines.
This to me is not just an advertising or marketing ploy, because up to about 18 months ago to 2 years ago ALL airlines allowed you to check a standard bag onto a flight for free. Southwest just refused to buckle under pressure to compete with the other airlines and these baggage fees.
So, Thank You Southwest for the service you provide to me and by future check bags!
