Why Do They Hate Your Bags?

Oct 06 2009

Did anyone else see the news today about a competitor who wants you to pay more than $249 a year for your bags to fly?  Did anyone else think it was an Onion article headline? This one really made us want to ask, why do they hate your bags?  At Southwest, we STILL have no fee for your first or second checked bag.   We love you and your bag friends.  So bring them all along – your Dora the Explorer roller bag, your golf bag, your purpley polka dot bag….they’re all welcome on Southwest!  Read our full baggage policy here.

 

Maybe you can tell us, why do they hate your bag?  Talk amongst yourselves!

They hate bags so much because they love money so much.

I will only fly Southwest not only because you don't hate my boring grey bag, but because you don't loose my kids when they fly with you all by their selves! Southwest rocks! OBTW thanks for the great flight to Oakland and back to Boise this weekend and my boring grey bag thanks you too!

I love SWA...yet another reason why I won't fly any other airline.

I wonder if it's both to make money and to save money. Obviously charging for bags makes the airline money but does it also make people pack and carry less luggage leading to a lighter plane and lower fuel costs? I know nothing about the airline industry but I can't help but think there are multiple benefits to the airline. Of course, all at the cost of upsetting and frustrating its passengers and customers.

They hate my bag because it smells like the Appleton rum. The reason my bag smells like rum is because THEY broke my duty free rum bottle on the flight home from Jamaica and the contents of that bottle soaked my bag, clothes, souvenirs and hopefully the whole cargo hold on that plane. Never had problems with broken stuff on SWA!

I will not cheat on you again Southwest. I had a horrible time this past week flying to Minneapolis via US Airway. Their flight attendants HATE bags too!

Southwest is definitely my airline of choice for travel within the US. If you guys traveled to Europe I'd take you too.

I fly SWA about once a month and it's always a pleasure! Everyone is always friendly and makes sure I enjoy my travels. And of course, they do love my bags! Thanks guys!!
