Nope, because "capitalism".
As far as flying Southwest... I primarily travel for work, so the checked bag change doesn't mean much to me for that. When it comes to personal travel... I'll be looking at other options as well from now on.
It will mean one thing for you - way more bags on the plane. Without free checked bags all the families will be trying to carry on instead of checking. So, get ready for less overhead space & longer wait times at the gate. Yippee.
I know it’s bad for the carry ons, but about to get worse. I’ve got 6 or so flights coming up in the next month so I’m really looking forward to the changes 🤦♂️
I typically preboard, so I'll at least be as comfortable as possible in my seat while waiting for the anti-check idiots.
I wonder if they're doing away with free checked bags to get the gate agents and flight attendants to actually enforce bag size rules...

I wish Southwest would actually enforce the carryon/ personal item bag size.
So much time wasted from people trying to shove big bags into small bins.
The Max-7 still not being certified makes things worse as the -700s have such tiny bins.

Oh well.
