- ✈️ Southwest Airlines is ending its long-standing policy of allowing passengers to check two bags for free, effective this week.

- ✅ Passengers with Southwest credit cards or certain loyalty memberships will still be exempt from paying for checked bags.
United Airlines Check-in Policy Update
- ⏰ United Airlines is implementing a new rule requiring domestic passengers to check in at least 45 minutes before departure, an increase from the previous 30-minute window for those without checked bags.
