Two checked bags was a great incentive to fly Southwest but not anymore.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank sarcasmogratis

It's actually better than the post says, the policy changes don't affect *travel* after 5/28, they apply to *reservations* made after that.
So you have until then to book future travel under the current terms and use up any gift cards/points/credits etc

"We will not charge standard checked bag fees for your first or second checked bag for any reservations booked and ticketed or changed on or before May 27, 2025, regardless of your travel date (weight and size limits apply). "

They still take you from place A to place B at the speed of an airplane. I think a better way to say it is: There's no more reason to prefer this airline anymore.

1 checked bag will be free if you have the SW credit card, 2 carry on's will also be allowed

Very true. I am assuming they are counting the personal item. You can carry on one carry-on, and one backpack, so two items.

However if you book a flight now for after May 28 and need to make any changes to the flight , if the change is made after May 28 the new more restrictive rules apply

So say I book a WGA fare today for June 20. If I cancel on May 27th my flight credits do not expire. If I cancel on May 29 my flight credits expire in 6 mo

I could understand them reducing it from two checked bags to one per traveler but just eliminating it with all the other negative changes, SW is going to go downhill, probably will be out of business in a year or two
