You have just a few more days to buy a ticket on Southwest that includes free checked bags. Here's when the Southwest Airlines baggage policy changes.

Southwest is banning the use of portable charging devices stored in a bag or overhead bin following incidents including a fire on an Air Busan flight.

Southwest Airlines is implementing a surprising new restriction on portable chargers to keep these notoriously incendiary devices from bursting into flame mid-flight. Starting on May 28, passengers will be required to keep their power banks in plain sight, making the budget carrier the first to roll out a policy of this kind.

A lawsuit filed against Southwest Airlines by the Department of Transportation in January was dropped months later by the Trump administration.

The latest change at Southwest Airlines is another adjustment to how the Dallas carrier handles bags. The employees who provide curbside baggage service, known as skycaps, are leaving several airports as part of previously announced budget cuts.

At least five killed and dozens wounded in a blast targeting a school bus in Khuzdar, Balochistan, officials say.

A new request to the US Department of Transport could allow Southwest to increase flights to Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa.
