SW change time

[Dakota731]

If I change a flight time on existing return trip that I made before baggage charges will I have to pay bag fee? It’s a better time for us but don’t want to be stuck with fees

Yes, sorry, modifying the flight will now result in fees for any checked bags.

This dilemma caught me a few weeks ago, when Southwest changed my existing return flight's departure time. I found out that changing to a preferable return flight would generate bag fees, even in response to a time change imposed by Southwest. Bummer

Yes - any changes = new rules and policies.
