Traveling is one of the best joys in life. Most people work hard every day and see the same scenery day after day. When the time comes to take a vacation, it is a joy to see things you have always dreamed of seeing, having experiences you never thought would happen, and seeing different cultures in the world. Traveling isn't cheap, which is why it is special to save up and take a special trip from time to time. While some prefer to drive and take a road trip, others prefer to fly when traveling. There is one major change to be aware of the next time you go on a flight in Idaho, and it is one you want to know ahead of time.

For those who prefer to fly Southwest when flying in and out of Boise, you may be disappointed to hear that some of their best perks are going away. One of the biggest reasons that so many fliers enjoy Southwest is that you can check two bags for free. Unlike other airlines, where you must pay to check each bag. Beginning in May, this rule will change and Southwest will fall in line with the rest of the airlines and begin charging for bags to be checked. This has upset many customers, as this is one of the reasons to fly Southwest over any other airline.
