New Policies for Southwest Airlines; pets, children & 3rd bag
For those of you planning to travel this summer, Southwest Airlines has 3 major upcoming policy changes. The summary is as follows:
1) Pets: Previously they did not allow pets in the cabin or cargo. Now they will allow passengers to bring a small dog or cat into the cabin with them during flights for a fee of $75 each way. (US Air charges $100 each way) The pet must be contained in a carrier that fits under the seat, and that carrier will count as the passenger’s carry-on bag for those flights.
2) Children: There will be a $25 each-way service charge to watch over children ages 5 to 11 who are unaccompanied by adults. This service previously was offered for free.
3) 3rd Bag or bags over 50lbs: They will increase its existing service charge for a third bag or overweight (51 to 70 pounds) bag from $25 to $50. Passengers will continue to be able to check two bags under 51 pounds without a charge. The baggage policy will take effect on June 17, 2009.
The pet and unaccompanied-minor charges will apply to tickets purchased on or after June 1 for people flying on or after June 17.

Comment by Robert Worthington on 19 September 2009:
The $25 service fee is still an easy decision for parents to make who have children flying alone between the ages of 5 to 11. I remember flying alone as a young child. I also remember the good feeling I had inside when the flight attendant would wait for me till I found my mother or father in the airport. This service is actually well justified in my opinion.
