South West Bag Policy Change

South West Bag Policy Changeにまつわる役立つ知識を分かりやすく発信ます。

So, here's the thing: South West is introducing a new weight limit for checked bags, which means you'll need to make sure your luggage doesn't weigh more than 50 pounds. We know, we know, it sounds like a lot, but trust us, it's not as much as you think, especially if you're one of those over-packers who likes to bring their entire wardrobe on holiday. Just remember, less is more, unless you're talking about chocolate, in which case, more is more!

And, let's talk about size restrictions, because, well, you don't want to show up to the airport with a bag that's bigger than a small car, do you? The new policy states that checked bags can't exceed 62 inches in length, width, and height, which is pretty standard, if you ask us. But, hey, if you're one of those super-cool travelers who likes to bring a giant inflatable unicorn on holiday, you might need to rethink your packing strategy!

Now, we know what you're thinking: what about oversized bags? Well, the good news is that South West will still accept them, but you'll need to pay a fee, which is just a nice way of saying they'll charge you extra for being a luggage rebel. The fee is $75, which is still cheaper than buying a new private jet, so, you know, silver linings and all that!
