Okay, it’s time to talk about Southwest Airlines and all these changes the airline has been making recently.

Southwest at MCO

I’ve been a huge fan of Southwest for a long time. My home airport is Memphis, and Southwest is one of the few airlines with non-stop flights to Orlando (for visiting Disney World, of course). It’s also one of the few airlines that offers flights into Long Beach Airport, my preferred airport when I want to visit Disneyland. So the big news right now is about Southwest changing its seating policy by offering assigned seats for the first time in the airline’s history. But I’m still pretty ticked off about its previous change…and y’all know where I’m going with this, right?

Let’s go somewhere!

Following Southwest’s announcement that it would be getting rid of its “bags fly free” policy, the feedback has been… unpleasant, to say the least. And now, Frontier Airlines is throwing shade at Southwest by offering free bags on select flights.

“Bags fly free…” That has been the slogan for Southwest Airlines for several decades, but that’s about to change in just a few short months.

Bags will no longer fly free

It’s been quite a year for change. Disney World is going through a ton of changes, with whole theme park lands going away, new lands arriving, new shows, and so much more.

Orlando International Airport is even changing! The airport announced it is getting new restaurants, continuing its expansion of Terminal C, improving parking, and more. One of our favorite airlines, though, is also undergoing some BIG changes, and in just over two months, EVERYTHING will be totally different if you’re flying on Southwest. So let’s talk about it.
