We continue our discussion with more information now available about Southwest's big changes announced on March 11, 2025. We discuss the answers to questions like:

• Is there an easy way to still get my checked bags free? Yes!
• Do these changes affect flights I've already booked or will book before May 28?
• Should I stop booking the cheapest Southwest fare?
• Would I get points back if I canceled a Basic fare booked with points since it’s nonrefundable?
• What does "variable points pricing" mean?
• And more!

Here is the link to Southwest's page with additional information on the changes:
