Are there still baggage fees on Air Tran?
The five-year-plan for the merger of Southwest and AirTran will be completed at the end of 2014. Increasingly AirTran flights have been converted to Southwest. However, until the Southwest/AirTran merger is complete later this year, the remaining AirTran do retain their own fees and policies, but only if booked through AirTran. If the AirTran flights are booked through Southwest then Southwest’s “bags fly free” policy applies.
