dylan15+FollowSouthwest’s Not-So-Friendly Makeover?Remember when Southwest was the chill, no-nonsense airline with free bags and open seating? Not anymore. Experts say they’re now using sneaky “psychological tricks” just like other airlines—think hidden fees, upsells, and urgency tactics to squeeze more cash out of us. Even their famous loyalty program might get a not-so-sweet update. Basically, Southwest’s ‘transparent’ vibe is out, and the ‘dark patterns’ playbook is in. Guess we can’t trust any airline to keep it real these days! #Travel #SouthwestAirlines #TravelHacks01Share
Brad Ramirez+FollowSouthwest’s Free Bags? Gone. What’s Next?!Southwest just ditched its iconic 'bags fly free' perk—yep, now you’ll pay up to $45 per bag. The CEO says it’s all about giving us more 'choice,' but longtime fans are fuming. Open seating? That’s out too. New basic fares, more fees, and even layoffs are hitting fast. Some say Southwest is losing what made it special. Would you still fly with them now that they’re just like everyone else? #Travel #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews30Share
robertjones+FollowSouthwest’s Perks Are Disappearing FastSouthwest fans are freaking out—first, they ditched free checked bags, and now there’s talk the beloved Companion Pass could get way harder to snag. Surveys hint at a new elite-only tier system, and people are not happy. Add in new bag fees, assigned seating, and fewer routes, and it feels like the end of an era. Are they just becoming like every other airline? Would you still fly Southwest if the perks are gone? #News #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews20Share

Their new ad literally screams about the chaos—think people yelling, leaping, and even exploding watermelons. If you loved picking your own seat, get ready for a change: assigned seats are coming in 2026. Some folks are relieved, others are mourning the end of the wild seat dash. Either way, Southwest is owning the drama and inviting us all to laugh (or groan) along. #Business #Industry #SouthwestAirlines93Share
Justin Dixon+FollowSouthwest Slashes Flights & Perks?!Southwest Airlines is shaking things up again—first, they ditched free bags, and now they’re eyeing big changes to their Rapid Rewards program.

Ernest Harris+FollowIs Southwest About to Nerf the Companion Pass?Heads up, Southwest fans!

Translation: casual travelers could lose out, and loyal points chasers may need to hustle even harder. If you love scoring free flights for your plus-one, keep an eye on this drama! #SouthwestAirlines #TravelHacks #CompanionPass #Business00Share
Paige Douglas+FollowHow to Outsmart Southwest’s New Bag FeesSouthwest used to be the go-to for free checked bags, but now they’re charging $35 for the first one—unless you’re a frequent flyer or pay for a fancy ticket. Travelers are getting crafty: they’re stuffing everything into their carry-ons to dodge the fee. This shift means Southwest is losing its unique perk, making it feel more like every other airline. If you want to save, pack light and keep it all in your carry-on! #TravelHacks #SouthwestAirlines #MoneyTips #Business192Share
Justin Dixon+FollowSouthwest Finally Assigns Seats?!Southwest Airlines is ditching its famous open seating and finally switching to assigned seats! To celebrate, they dropped a hilarious ad with people literally dancing in fountains and leaping over tables. The airline says most travelers actually want assigned seats, so they’re making the big change by early 2026. The ad is super tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at how wild this news is for Southwest fans. Would you miss the boarding scramble or are you all in for assigned seats? #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews #AssignedSeating #Travel2814Share
Vincent Perry+FollowSouthwest Assigned Seats? It’s Happening!Heads up, Southwest flyers: no more Hunger Games at the boarding gate! Assigned seats are finally coming, so you can actually chill before your flight instead of plotting your aisle seat strategy. The switch is rolling out in 2025-2026, and it’s all about making travel less stressful (and maybe winning over folks who hate the current free-for-all). Pro tip: keep an eye on your perks—some freebies, like checked bags, are now for loyalists only. #TravelHacks #SouthwestAirlines #FlightTips #Business #Industry90Share
JaggedJoy+Followworried about checking our car seat on southwestWe’re flying Southwest soon with our little one, and I’m already stressing about the car seat. We’ve got to check it because there’s no way we’re lugging it through the airport, but I keep hearing horror stories about airlines tossing car seats around like they’re gym bags. A friend told me her car seat came out with a huge crack after a flight, and now I can’t stop picturing us landing, exhausted, only to find our car seat busted. I mean, what are we supposed to do if that happens? Rent some random seat at the last minute? I feel like we’re stuck—either risk it and hope for the best, or try to gate-check and pray it survives. Has anyone actually had their car seat broken by Southwest? Or is this just one of those things people love to complain about? I wish there was a way to guarantee it comes out in one piece, but it feels like such a gamble. Traveling with a toddler is stressful enough without this extra worry! #travelwithkids #southwestairlines #parentingstruggles #Travel10Share
