Southwest is ending its free-checked-bags policy and people are not happy about it

Southwest Airlines, this ain't it:

Bro, this was literally the only reason I ever flew Southwest!

Starting May 28 — just in time for the busy summer travel season — only Southwest's most elite Rapid Rewards A-List Preferred members and passengers who book their top-tier Business Select fares will receive two free checked bags. Frequent flyer A-List Members, Southwest-branded credit card holders and other select customers will be allowed one checked bag.

Everyone else will be charged for their first and second checked bags on flights booked on or after May 28, the carrier says.

Yeah, I'm not becoming a member. And I'm not paying for checked bags either.

Even Southwest themselves thought this was a bad idea just six months ago.

The internet seems to agree with this fired Southwest official.

Southwest: The new Spirit Airlines!

🤣🤣🤣
