Southwest Airlines does not play these games (the first 2 checked bags are free and canceling your ticket before the flight gives you a voucher for the full fare you paid to use in the future). It also does not have fares listed with the airline ticket search sites. They usually have good fares, decent service, and on time flights. I try and fly them when ever I can get a direct flight with them.
I understand why they keep growing and wish other airlines would try their style. I try to choose companies with friendly business practices, even if it costs a bit more sometimes.
- waqf 9y agoIsn't Southwest the one that just launched obligatory in-air concerts? https://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliver/2017/11/hitting-wrong-note https://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliver/2017/11/hitting-wro... I think I'll give that a miss.
- njarboe 9y agoI imagine Southwest will give this a miss also. Seems like a Nashville one-off. Never seen it myself.

- whamlastxmas 9y agoIf they want to make flying more fun, they should start by not treating everyone like a piece of meat during security screening beforehand.
- andrewjw 9y agoUnfortunately, they don't really have control over that. I'm sure every airline would love to decrease the hassle of flying - it would be great for business.
- ransom1538 9y agoSouthwest Airlines is also fatality free (on their planes).
- tyingq 9y agoNo fees for changes either, other than the fare difference.
- andrewjw 9y agoIt's worth noting that in my observation their fares jump in price as the flight approaches to a higher degree than some other airlines, though not too much higher, and I still prefer this to change fees.
