I love Southwest Airlines!

We despise fees as much as the other airlines seem to love them. So we'll just keep taking care of you, rather than charging fees for the stuff that should come with your fare in the first place. We believe in not asking you to pull out your wallet every few minutes.

Also within a couple of days, you won't need cash to get a drink while on a flight. They will only take debit or credit cards.

Southwest Airlines will not charge for two checked bags

Southwest Airlines said it doesn't plan to charge passengers to check up to two bags on flights.

The Dallas, Texas-based carrier issued the statement in response to a New York Times article that said Southwest was considering matching a fee American Airlines Inc. will begin imposing on June 15.

Fort Worth, Texas-based American Airlines on Wednesday said it plans to charge passengers on discounted fares $15 each way to check their first bag.
