The most expensive bundle in Southwest's new fare program will be Choice Extra, which will also include the most add-ons as part of the base fare. Choice Extra ticketholders will get early boarding, two free checked bags and complimentary access to extra legroom seats at booking and complimentary internet.

Southwest has come under fire recently after it announced the end of its long-standing practice of open seating, with assigned seating coming in 2026. In March, the company announced it was creating a new Basic fare and charging baggage fees, starting May 28, a shift from the current practice of allowing two free checked bags.
