CHICAGO As more airlines charge extra fees for such routine items as checked baggage and aisle seats, Southwest Airlines begins a campaign on Monday positioning itself as the carrier that offers true low fares with no strings attached.

New print, online banner ads and radio spots, via GSD&M Idea City in Austin, Texas, will convey messages like “No surprise fees,” and “Fees don’t fly with us.”

The No. 7 carrier in terms of annual revenue, Southwest also will bring back two TV spots that aired early last year between efforts that touted all-new leather seats and the launch of Business Select fares.
