Checked bags

Reasons I love Southwest Airlines

1.  They are great with minors!  When Justin was little they took such good care of him on the flights to and from his dad's house <3

2.  Prices.  If you plan ahead, and we all know I am an uber planner, you can find some good deals.

3.  TWO FREE CHECKED BAGS!!!!!!    I hate it when people try to carry on suitcases.  They tend to either put the suitcase up in the overhead compartment in the first spot they see and then go sit in the back of the plane.  This leaves no room in the compartment for the people sitting there!   I also hate it when there are so many suitcases in the overhead compartment that I can't even fit my coat up there.  So frustrating!  We try to only take bags that can fit under the seat.

I've started making the list of what will be in our checked bags.  I'm not done with it yet, but I figured I'd post what I had anyway.  I still haven't decided if we are taking 3 or 4 bags yet.
