So dumb. Carry ons slow boarding to a crawl, which means less flights per day, which means less $$$ for the airline.
I booked with Southwest yesterday, guess I got in under the wire.
The airline did not outline the fee schedule but said the new policy would start with May 28 bookings.
Not quite under the wire, but won’t be long now. I’m sure we can thank the “activist investor” for this move. Corporations prioritizing shareholders/profits over customers yet again.
Checked bags, carry on is still free… for now…
Then what bags are they talking about is not carry on and not checked
Checked bags will cost money. Carry on is still free.
Enshittification reaches all sectors. The line must go up.
And that removes any remaining reason to use Southwest. Why would you want to book a flight that costs the same as everyone else where you get relegated to a middle seat between two strangers because they don’t allow you to pick where you sit?
