A receipt for Southwest bag fees
Southwest started charging for checked bags on most fares bought on or after May 28, 2025, and bag fees do not appear on the flight receipt: Southwest's help pages send customers to a separate receipt request for ancillary purchases such as baggage. This Southwest baggage receipt uses the layout of Southwest's 2025 receipt email, with the trip, confirmation number, passenger, ticket number and number of bags, the bag fees and total, and the card used.

FAQs
How much does Southwest charge for checked bags?
Southwest's checked bag table lists $45 for the first bag and $55 for the second, per person each way, with higher fees for a third bag and for overweight or oversized bags. Choice Extra fares, A-List Preferred members and some cardholders get free bags.
Are bag fees on the Southwest flight receipt?
No. Southwest's help pages say ancillary purchases such as baggage need a separate receipt request.
Is there tax on Southwest bag fees?
No. Checked bag fees are not subject to the federal transportation tax on airfare, so the receipt shows the fees without a tax line.
Are the example details real?
No. The passenger, confirmation, ticket, Rapid Rewards number and card are fictional.
