Flying Southwest Airlines: what to know
Bags: where the fare grows
The ticket price is only the start on Southwest Airlines. A first checked bag runs $45 (free for A-List Preferred & Choice Extra fares), and a second is $55 (free for A-List Preferred & Choice Extra fares). Carry-on: Free — 1 carry-on + 1 personal item. If you know you'll check a bag, tell us when you enquire — we'll price the ticket with bags included, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Changes and cancellations
No change or cancellation fees on any fare — you only pay any fare difference. Cancellation: Cancel up to 10 minutes before departure; Wanna Get Away+ and higher fares get transferable flight credit. The practical takeaway: if your plans might move, the cheapest fare class is often the most expensive mistake. Ask us to price a flexible fare alongside the basic one — sometimes the difference is a few dollars, and it buys you real options.
Where Southwest Airlines is strongest
Southwest Airlines routes its network through Dallas Love (DAL), Denver (DEN), Chicago Midway (MDW) and more. Fares are usually sharpest where the airline flies nonstop and often, so hub routes are where deals show up first. Routes our travelers book most: New York to San Francisco, New York to Chicago and New York to Las Vegas. You can also browse today's live deals across every airline we track.
- Pay for checked bags in advance when you can — the airport counter is rarely the cheapest moment.
- The 24-hour rule protects you: cancel within 24 hours of booking for a full refund on tickets bought a week or more before departure.
- Set a fare alert for your route — Southwest Airlines fares on popular routes move several times a week.
