The last time I flew, I decided to switch to SouthWest because of the cost of extra luggage. $15 can sure put breafast on the table in this bad economy. Every little helps out and Southwest takes care of the little people like us. I will fly SouthWest all the time.
It's amazing what happens to an airline when they respect and truly value their passengers :-)

Has anyone had anything stolen from their checked luggage? I flew from STL to MCO on 10-14-09 and have discovered missing items of value. What should I do?
Hi Mary,
I would contact the baggage service office at both airports, to see if anything was turned in.
Also try calling CSA in originating city to see if they've got something there.
