Southwest Makes Another Big Change After Free Bags Dustup

Southwest Airlines, already under fire for getting rid of its free checked bags perk for most customers, is quietly making another change.

According to Inc., it involves a process known as "fuel hedging," which is the idea of having a financial team that figures out when to buy future jet fuel at predetermined prices, ensuring against the risk that prices will later rise."

Inc. reported that Southwest is now moving away from the practice, which gave passengers an advantage over the years.
