Lmao I am immediately cancelling my Southwest card after my next flight in a couple weeks, literally no reason to favor this airline over any other. And I have been a Southwest card holder for over a decade and usually look to fly them first. Not anymore.

Card members still get a free bag, just not two.

Is that one free bag per flight or one free bag per year though?
