other airline. There was a perceived value that went with it that they figure is ending.

Southwest is definitely doing it to try to make more money, so those concerns make sense. However, I'm hearing it also didn't work so well anymore.... - ty97 Aug 1, 07:34 3
- I have heard that and maybe saw it once, but generally I just paid for the early bird check in and never had an issue (it's only $20). -- nm - pmb Aug 1, 07:46 2
  - I guess I wonder how that is different than just paying $20 for a seat in advance, ya know? -- nm - ty97 Aug 1, 07:50 1
    - It won't just be that. It will now also require an extra legroom seat. It will be more than $20 and fewer extra legroom seats available. - pmb Aug 1, 07:58
this is how I look at it. I was a huge fan. Now, no reason to fly them at all -- nm - Epiphany Aug 1, 07:16 2

- I liked them too. I think a big thing was not feeling nickel and dimed. Every little thing costs on the major airlines, better seats, checked bags, - pmb Aug 1, 07:31
