FEE ALERT: Southwest Adds “Minor Child” Fee, Raises 3rd Bag Fee

May 29, 2009 | Posted in: Airline News,Southwest,Travel Tips

Compared to most fees, I see these new charges by Southwest as “small potatoes”. Tell me what you think…

New “Minor Child” Fee: beginning June 17, Southwest will add a $25 each way service charge for children ages 5 -11 traveling alone (some airlines charge as much as $100 for this service).

3rd Checked-Bag Fee: Southwest remains one of the few airlines that will let you check two bags for free, but its fee for a third checked-bag (or overweight bag) now rises from $25 to $50. Southwest figures this will effect only about 1% of its customers.

See more details on Southwest’s website.

    Some people obviously think this is “highway robbery” or whatever they want to call it, but Southwest does state what they intend to do for the most part to set expectations or gather feedback. Compared to the others, they’re still lower than what others charge.
