Not checking bags when that happens is a good way to save even more. Thanks for your comment. Hope you stop by again. Yes, sometimes you have to go with the less expensive flights.

So we jammed everything into carry-ons (didn't need dress clothes, thankfully) and didn't check bags at all, making it even a little cheaper.

I absolutely refused to fly on Southwest Airlines for many years, largely due to the same things you mentioned.....entertainment options and assigned seating. This past summer, my daughter and I went on a cruise that departed from Miami and we flew Southwest because of the baggage fees charged by other airlines. I am currently planning a trip to New York City for later this year, and though I am checking fares with other airlines, I will more than likely be using Southwest for that trip as well.
