Let's clarify: Southwest Airlines accepts wheeled bags. However, per the Contract of Carriage, Southwest does not accept liability for protruding parts of luggage and other articles of checked baggage, including but not limited to wheels, feet, pockets, hanger hooks, pull handles, straps, zippers, locks, and security straps. Simple reasoning behind this provision: these parts are especially prone to damage even under normal handling conditions.
Irony of Agustus' above posts: Hiram Harrison (now retired from Southwest) is African American
