Southwest Airlines…Bags Fly Free

Good news from the airlines today?  The only airline we’re hearing good news from is Southwest Airlines, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, flies over 104 million passengers a year to 64 great cities all across the country.

I myself, look to Southwest before looking to any other airline today.  They make travel so simple.  Actually, I call them the “airbus” of the airline industry.  You buy the ticket, get in line, and board the plane/bus.  Simplicity at it’s finest!  What is everyone else doing???

Not to mention, they’re probably the ONLY airline still offering the 1st AND 2nd checked bag for FREE!!!  Yep, have you heard that word lately from any other airline, FREE!  Wait, it doesn’t end there.  They also still offer a FREE snack, and even FREE non-alcoholic beverages. WOW!

I  happen to think their marketing campaign is brilliant.  They’re capitalizing on the known fact that ALL OTHER airlines are charging their passengers for EVERYTHING they possibly can.  I’m flying with Southwest since they’re the only airline not doing this!

    Great article. I have to say I too am “nuts about Southwest!” (Like what I did there?) Seriously I think it’s fantastic that they have a blog because it allows them to be open with the public—something a lot of airlines avoid. From what I’ve read their customer service is top notch as well.

    [...] We like Southwest because they don’t charge a ton of fees.  We like them even better when they have sales.  Check it: Save up to $100 when you book a flight + hotel of 3 nights or more to any Harrah’s Entertainment Resort Properties! [...]
