Southwest Airlines is making early boarding for some flights more expensive.
Starting on Aug. 29, early bird check-ins will cost $15, $20 or $25 on some flights.
It will be instead of the current $15 per person flat rate.
The new price will depend on the length and popularity of the flight.
Early bird gives travelers a better boarding position in Southwest's open seating system.
