In a significant shift, Southwest Airlines has announced that starting tomorrow, passengers will be required to pay a $35 fee for checked bags. This decision marks the end of a longstanding perk that allowed travelers to check two bags for free. The airline has officially concluded its free baggage policy, prompting concerns among frequent flyers about additional fees. Passengers are being urged to book their flights soon if they wish to avoid these new charges. Alongside this change, Southwest is rolling out several other modifications to its policies, including alterations to seating arrangements.
