Southwest Airlines’ New Baggage Policy – What It Means for Travelers and OKC Movers

If you’re a frequent flyer with Southwest Airlines, you might want to take note—big changes are coming to their checked baggage policy starting May 28, 2024. While Southwest has long been known for its generous baggage allowances, these new updates may affect your travel plans, especially if you’re considering a move or visit to Oklahoma City.

What’s Changing?

Southwest is shifting its policy, offering free checked bags only to select travelers:

• Two free checked bags for Rapid Rewards® A-List Preferred Members and Business Select customers.
• One free checked bag for A-List Members and select other travelers.
• One checked bag credit for Rapid Rewards Credit Cardmembers.
• All other customers will now pay for their first and second checked bags.

This means if you're not a Southwest elite member or a cardholder, you'll need to budget for baggage fees when booking your flights.

How This Impacts Travelers to Oklahoma City

For those relocating to OKC or traveling for business, this update may require some adjustments. Many people fly in and out of Will Rogers World Airport (OKC) for work opportunities, real estate scouting, and family visits—and Southwest is a top choice for domestic travel.
