One US airline has yet to add a fee for checked bags

The first of the airlines to increase the price for checked bags was jetBlue. Not soon after, United Airlines followed. By now, only one of the major airlines in the study does not charge for checked bags - Southwest. Southwest is will let you check in not one, but two bags for free! If you’re a family traveling with a lot of bags, you can save a lot by avoiding fees for checked bags.
