Southwest Airlines Hilariously Claims the New Baggage Fees Aren’t as Bad as the Luka Doncic Trade

Luka Doncic and the Mavs are the the “butt of a joke” of a joke going vial on Internet. Southwest Airlines let us all down on Tuesday when they announced that they will no longer be offering free checked baggage. Up until now, this policy has been a lifesaver for fee-stricken travelers who want to fly from point A to point B without having to take out a second mortgage to cover the cost of their luggage.

But like all good things, this operational pillar that has been in place for decades is suddenly ending. However, the Dallas-based airline thought it might be a good idea to make a joke about the entire situation by drawing a comparison to the shocking Luka Doncic transaction, while we take a moment to lament one of the aviation industry’s last remaining consumer-friendly rules.

As if Dallas residents weren’t already in a poor place.

Southwest, which has its headquarters in Dallas, announced the adjustments on Instagram on Thursday.

Now, there’s a lot to analyze about this Doncic analogy, pun intended. First of all, have you ever heard of an NBA trade that was so significant and hated that an airline was exploiting it to win people over? Yes, neither do I. You’ve definitely surpassed yourselves, Nico Harrison.

Additionally, it seems as though Southwest traded Luka Doncic away. One could argue that the free checked bag policy was the cornerstone of Southwest’s franchise, much like Doncic was to the Mavs. By eliminating it, the firm runs the risk of losing both business and its essential character.
