The fee for overweight carry-on luggage on Southwest Airlines flights to Mexico depends on the weight of the bag and the specific route. Generally, Southwest Airlines allows passengers to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item free of charge. However, if your carry-on bag weighs more than 50 pounds, you will be charged an overweight baggage fee. The fee for overweight carry-on bags on Southwest Airlines flights to Mexico starts at $95 and can go up to $200, depending on the weight and the route of your flight. It is important to note that Southwest Airlines has specific size and weight restrictions for carry-on bags and any bag that exceeds these restrictions must be checked in as checked baggage, which incurs a separate fee.

Southwest Airlines does not charge for carry-on luggage. You can bring one carry-on bag and one personal item for free on all Southwest flights. However, if your carry-on bag is overweight (over 50 pounds) or oversize (larger than 62 inches up to 80 inches), you will be charged a fee of $75 per bag.

Here are some tips to avoid overweight carry-on luggage fees:

  • Weigh your carry-on bag before you leave for the airport to make sure it is not over the weight limit.
  • Pack light. The less you pack, the less likely you are to have an overweight carry-on bag.
  • Use a carry-on bag that is the right size. Make sure your carry-on bag is no larger than 62 inches in total dimensions (length + width + height).
  • If you are flying with a lot of gear, consider checking a bag instead of bringing it as a carry-on.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
