Southwest Airlines is scrapping its decades-old “bags fly free” policy, one of the most stunning reversals to its business model in recent months. <\/p>\n

For bookings made on or after May 28, only passengers with top Southwest loyalty status or those buying the most expensive fares will get to check two bags for no extra charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement, the airline said the move would create choice for customers, as well as \u201csupport business objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Southwest Rapid Rewards A-List Preferred members and passengers traveling on Business Select fares will continue to have an allowance of two checked bags. <\/p>\n

Those flying on other Select fares and A-List status members will be able to check in one bag without extra charge. In a huge break from Southwest\u2019s current policy, all other passengers will be charged for checked baggage. The airline has not disclosed the new luggage pricing structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have tremendous opportunity to meet current and future customer needs, attract new customer segments we don\u2019t compete for today, and return to the levels of profitability that both we and our shareholders expect,\u201d CEO Bob Jordan said in a statement. <\/p>\n

A Stunning Change<\/h2>\n

The ability for all Southwest passengers to check in two bags at no extra change has long been a unique selling proposition for the carrier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The stunning changes come as Southwest laid off about 15% of its corporate workforce, a first for the company. <\/p>\n

Southwest is upending its business model following a bitter battle with activist investor Elliott Investment Management. After building a nearly $2 billion economic stake in Southwest, the hedge fund pushed for a senior leadership overhaul. <\/p>\n
