Oh, Southwest Airlines, you have really embraced the whole idea of change, and not exactly in a way that many of your customers approve of lately.

Now, many folks were torn when Southwest announced that it would be getting rid of its open seating policy and start selling assigned seats. However, many Southwest fans were LIVID when Southwest Airlines announced that it was ending its free checked bags policy (and I’m still angry about it, personally). Well, Southwest is at it again and making even MORE changes…but at least this one is one we might actually like.
If you’re a fan of Peet’s Coffee, you’ll be able to enjoy a cup of Peet’s SOON on your next Southwest Airlines flight. On August 13th, Peet’s will be the official Southwest Airlines in-flight coffee partners. And unlike everything else, at least the coffee is still free! So you’ll want to take advantage of that when you fly.

Of course, you’ll have to drink a lot of cups of coffee to make up for those bag fees you had to pay, right? Granted, you can still get free checked bags if you book a more expensive premium fare that includes checked bags, use a Rapid Rewards credit card (which has an annual fee of $99), or earn Elite status. So maybe not all is lost. And at least the coffee will be good.
