Southwest Isn’t Cheap Anymore?!
Heads up, Southwest fans! The airline that used to let your bags fly free is ditching its budget-friendly vibe. Now, they’re hiking up credit card fees by as much as 50%—ouch! Sure, you get perks like free checked bags (which used to be standard) and earlier boarding, but you’ll pay for it. Looks like Southwest wants to woo premium travelers, not bargain hunters. If you’re used to flying on the cheap, you might want to check your wallet before booking your next trip! #Business #Industry #SouthwestAirlines

Nope and they used to be my airline that I used exclusively but now I haven’t in about 5 years. Now I go with one of the main carriers on whatever deal I can find. It’s cheaper now than the budget airlines that nickle and dime you to death. And more comfortable by a long shot.

There is now no difference between Southwest and every other airline. I think this is going to negatively impact their bottom line.

If they come close to another airline then I will chose the other airline because southwest chose to change what made them unique and different.

I am now looking at another Airline after the rate hikes and hassle of seat booking.
As an A-list Preferred I can’t get the seat I want within several days of booking. Now I am like everyone else

SW is not doing itself any favors!
There's a few other airlines with more economical fares,even if the do charge for seating and luggage!
