At this moment I don’t trust SWA with my luggage- Denver happens to have the worst of it. If my flight is cancelled and I have to pick another carrier, I want my bags with me.
What can I carry on?

If you’re checking a bag, suggest you put an Apple AirTag or a Tile in it, depending if your phone is iPhone or Android. I put an AirTag in my checked bag when I flew to Cancun in August.

This thread is based on the OP’s assumption that he himself is going anywhere, because the thread was initially misdirected as a carry-on vs check baggage phantasmagorical

How many checked bags and what weight limit do they allow ?
My plan is to carry on- unfortunately, I am not able to find Apple AirTags in my areaThst was my first thought when deliberating on whether to check a bag or not.
AirTags are available via Amazon, Apple’s online store, etc., so even if you live in BFE, you can get AirTags.
2 checked bags and 50lb limit per bag. I had a large rolling duffle when I flew SW to Cancun in August. It was a bit outside of the regular checked bag dims, but under 50lbs. No one said boo about it and I didn’t get charged for it being larger.

AirTags?
So you know for sure that your bags are where you are not.
For dive travel, where made tight connections are crucial, of what actual use are AirTags?
I see no value where flights to ‘real’ (hondo/exotic) dive destinations are only maybe once-a-week. If flights are run daily? Rent what doesn’t fit or show up- you’re traveling from civilization to civilization.
Cancun, Costa Rica, nor any of the other “C Words” (Cayman, Curaçao, Cozumel) are exactly off the beaten path. Rental gear, good quality, it’s everywhere)
This isn’t a discussion about SWA or even lost luggage, it’s the same old thread about needing to carry-on my soft-weights & favorite snorkel.

I have heard of people wearing their BCD on the plane to make extra rook in their luggage. Never tried it myself.
