I HATE the cost of paying for my bags...sometimes my bags cost enough that I'm actually buying two full tickets! That is crazy!

i agree w/ you all - SW is usually the cheapest and w/ free bags, you can't go wrong. Once in awhile they are not cheap to fly to Vegas, so we fly tUS AIr, but we take carry-on only since it's only a few days. I wish SW flew to COlorado SPrings....I have to use US Air because SW doesn't fly there.

LOVE Southwest too..... and if you are flying internationally to Central America, Taca and Copa Airlines are both wonderful -- clean, safe, polite, good food, and free luggage to boot.

THANK GOODNESS for SOUTHWEST!!! We live quite a bit further from Midway Airport than from O'Hare, but it's worth the jaunt to NOT have to pay for luggage and get FABULOUS service!!

The charge for bags was added to reflect airlines increased cost of fuel. Other companies and organizations had to suck up the cost or increase prices to make up difference. The airlines did both - got baggage fee and increased prices. They prortrayed the baggage fee as something that was temporary but my belief is it will never go away now as the revenue generated is huge. Their annual profits this year were huge!
I agree with others- We use SOuth west to fly.

Amen! We are personally on strike from flying any other airline except Southwest, who at least understand what the term "customer service" means. If we need to go to a city SW doesn't service, we have even flown in to the nearest city and rented a car to drive many miles. If we as consumers don't protest, the other airlines will continue to "rape" the consumer with all their extra fees.

This is why I always fly Southwest, two bags are free! And their fares are almost always the lowest I find. If the fare goes down after booking, you can also rebook the flight for free and they hold the difference for future flights. I will eventually use the money on a later flight.
