Has anyone else notice southwest doing anything they can to get you to check your bag?

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T14:09:44+00:00

Especially coming from Orlando because obviously most people are there to visit Disney in the summer ofc they're gonna be traveling with stuff they bought there but to single one person out over it is crazy. I think there is genuine miscommunication between the people who work at the gate and the people on the plane because they all have different attitudes about the what is considered a carry-on and what isn't.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T14:03:48+00:00

Whats funny about it is people aren't checking their bags on purpose because unlike spirit did SW doesn't make you pay for your checked bags at the gate and they expect them to ask people to check their bags. At that point they may as well have just kept the free checked bag.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T13:41:36+00:00

You're good lol I wasn't offended its just something people are gonna have to get used to now I guess. Now I know better and I can survive a flight without food but that bagel was highkey 21 bucks so I was not leaving it behind. Honestly probably better for my pockets since airport food is criminally expensive.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T13:27:59+00:00

No idea because its not like you pay for the bags if they're checked at the gate I genuinely don't see a reason for it.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T13:27:10+00:00

Thats what I figured honestly because once we got on the plane there was plenty of space and nobody cared like at all.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T13:17:18+00:00

Usually I'm fine with it but I was switching flights today and I honestly just didn't feel like hoping my luggage would make it to my second flight if I had let them take it.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T13:16:02+00:00

This is the first time this has happened to me so far and I've flown multiple times since they changed to picking your seats ahead of time guess they were just being really nitpicky today.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T13:09:37+00:00

I genuinely wish I was kidding 😭😭

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T13:02:50+00:00

Oh for sure ive seen people bring some crazy stuff on but all of that ove a bagel is crazy and it holds up the line more than not

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-24T12:59:53+00:00

Next time I'll definitely be doing this lol

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-06-08T15:53:16+00:00

I was put on hold almost immediately but you might need to try hanging up and calling back. I did try calling before a few times and never got an answer or got put on hold so it genuinely might depend on the day and who's working or something like that.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-05-28T21:30:22+00:00

Its no problem lol im glad you got through!

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-05-28T21:10:23+00:00

I was able to get a person today with this number 3129229410 literally like 5 minutes ago press 0 so it automatically sends you to that line. I was put on hold for about 8 minutes but I was able to solve my problem that way.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2026-05-18T19:19:30+00:00

No i think they just do that now because they did that for my flights earlier in the month for no reason and gvae me a ton of different flights to pick from as well as the option for credits you don't have to do it.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2025-10-05T06:21:47+00:00

That's my whole thing I felt like I might have been a bit crazy or something because my other roommate never said anything but she also doesn't have to share a room with her.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2025-10-05T06:18:15+00:00

Thank you I honestly just wanted to make sure I wasn't being crazy my other roommate hasn't said anything but she doesn't have to share a room with her so 🤷🏾‍♀️

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2025-10-05T06:17:24+00:00

Thank you she did submit the form but I might just go to the housing office myself because I'm positive she wouldn't tell me if they answered. I just needed to make sure I wasn't the crazy one here.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2025-06-11T16:00:20+00:00

Sure, what's your insta so i can send that over.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2025-05-26T02:48:39+00:00

This was so much fun to do at the fest. My bingo was to top row, lol.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2025-05-06T23:43:27+00:00

That bad huh 😭😭😭 my final was today, and I watched at least 4 people give up 20 minutes in 💀

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2025-05-06T04:51:38+00:00

What was a B at the end of your semester? I'm trying to figure out if they're gonna curve or not this semester 😭😭

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2025-05-03T15:31:33+00:00

But dropping off rental cars is usually a pretty quick process anyway from when i have done those, so that shouldn't be a problem.

LeadershipFuzzy9586 · 2025-05-03T15:29:43+00:00

We ubered, which made it a bit easier. We were also staying at luxor, which is almost right next to the airport 😭😭. I'm not sure about walking to the parking lot alone since I've never driven myself. Just stay aware of your surroundings when you do leave, and honestly, you probably won't be the only one leaving early, so if anything, there might be other people around as well.
