Southwest Rips Away Major Perk

All good things must come to an end, Southwest announced they will no longer offer this free perk!

I’m Tomi Lahren, find out the bad news, next.

Well we knew it was probably too good to last forever, Southwest Airlines announced it will soon end its perk of offering two free checked bags to all customers. 

Now everyone is not out of luck, those who have high point high tier status in the airline’s loyalty program, book business select, or hold the airline’s credit card will retain checked baggage perks. 

This new policy is set to begin with flights booked on May 28th and beyond. 

The airline is also getting ready to end its open-boarding tradition that’s been in place for more than 50 years. Assigned seating is coming later this year. 

This all comes as Southwest recently announced cuts to 15% of its corporate workforce. 

This all feels rather crumby for southwest customers, but ironically the news sent the stock up more than 9% earlier this week. 

As for my take on it all, I don’t really care about the free checked bags, I just hope my plane stays in the air and makes a soft landing!
