While most airlines have steadily increased the cost of checked baggage over the years, Southwest Airlines stood out as a major US carrier that allowed passengers to check two bags for free.

Southwest Airlines recently announced that it would begin charging passengers for checked baggage starting May 28, 2025—a move that has sparked a strong reaction from customers and competitors alike.
