Southwest has made a flurry of changes in 2025 — from charging for bags and introducing assigned seats to rolling out brand-new fare types and tweaking credit card perks, including increasing their annual fees. And they’ve managed to make things very complicated. But here’s the good news: I’ve cut through the clutter to get to the heart of what actually matters in my trademark "keep it simple stupid" approach 😉.

In this episode, I’ll show you the few simple adjustments you need to make so you can:

• Keep flying Southwest for the same cost (or less) as before (yes, really!)
• Make only slight changes to the way we’ve always flown Southwest for free 
• Understand how to KEEP getting free bags, as well as free assigned seating and navigate the new fare rules

You’ll walk away knowing exactly what to do to keep your Southwest travel FREE, easy and smooth.

💡 Free Bonus: Get my one-page cheat sheet that explains all the changes in plain English — plus the exact tweaks you need to make to your own Southwest strategy, including how to change a Basic Fare (yes, it's possible!):
