I don't believe Southwest ever went without checked baggage. I specifically remember flying them several times in the 90s and they always had checked baggage. And these days their value proposition is that they still provide two pieces of checked baggage for every passenger at no extra cost. Granted it's not seeming like that great a deal for passengers who haven't gotten their baggage back that they checked in on Christmas Day.It's gotten different though. These days they seem more traditional. I remember sometime back in the 90s the flight attendants all wore polo shirts. I also remember more or less fixed pricing which was considerably cheaper than other airlines, although then they went to their "Anytime" fares coupled with more dynamic discounted fares.
