If you're planning your summer vacation trips, you may want to start booking your flights now. Earlier this year, a Texas-based airline lost a lot of LUV after revealing it would be eliminating its long-standing perk of free checked bags.

DALLAS — Southwest Airlines is counting down the final days of its universal free checked bags policy, giving travelers less than a week to book flights under the airline's longstanding baggage policy that allowed passengers two free checked bags with every ticket.

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.
