Southwest Airlines to Charge No-Show Customers

Hopes to generate more revenue

Southwest Airlines will soon charge its customers a fee for not canceling a ticket before their flight. The airline announced Friday that the policy can help reduce no-shows and generate more revenue. Currently, they allow passengers who don't use their ticket to apply the price toward a new one. They also plan to increase fees they already charge, like for early check-in and overweight bags. Company officials said the new fee will start next year, but they didn't give an exact date or say how much it will be. (NBC News)
