Thanks, Joanne
Flying Southwest is worth saving the money on baggage fees. If you remember, prior to baggage fees, there usually was not a problem getting your carry-on on board. I have not been on a flight since baggage fees were implemented where everyone's carry-on made it. And a lot of those carry-ons are twice the size of what is allowed by most airlines.
