Southwest’s Free Bags Perk Gets a Plot Twist

Southwest is ditching its famous free checked bags for most flyers starting May 28, 2025—and people are not happy. Now, if you want to check a bag, you’ll have to pay $35 for the first and $45 for the second, but here’s the kicker: you can only pay at the airport, not online. If you booked before May 28, you’re safe! A-List members still get perks, but for everyone else, this is a major shakeup.
