I have always flown SW exclusively but lately their prices are not commensurate with other carriers. If their prices continue to remain high you won't have to worry about paying for Early Bird because there will be less people flying Southwest. As an example, bought a United flight for $51 that Southwest wanted $216. They can't justify free bags anymore with that kind of difference.

Be sure to check ALL carriers before booking with Southwest. In researching airfare from Orlando to Chicago, I am astounded by the fact that other carriers, United, Frontier, American, are offering flights for $51 while Southwest is listed as $216 for the same time and day. Even paying $7 for my seat and$30 for a checked bag still saves me $128. Not sure what Southwest is thinking these days, but I know my Southwest Visa might be put in the drawer if this continues because it's also not worth the 14,461 points they want for that flight either. Just because your bags are free doesn't mean you should be asking 4x plus higher than other carriers. Southwest needs to wake up or at least explain why you're all of a sudden unreasonably priced.
