Jennifer Reyes+FollowWhy Balloons Are Delaying Your VacationImagine showing up at the airport, only to find your flight delayed because of... balloons. That’s what’s happening in Lithuania, where mystery balloons from Belarus keep shutting down the main airport, stranding travelers and causing headaches for everyone from tourists to business folks. It’s more than just a travel hassle—it’s a new kind of border drama. Lithuania’s even offering cash for anyone who can invent a balloon-busting tech fix! If you’re traveling in the region, double-check your flight status and pack some extra patience. #Business #Industry #travelnews00Share

Is this the end of the airline’s friendly, budget-friendly vibe? Frequent flyers are NOT happy about the changes! #News #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews193Share

Charles Coleman+FollowAlaska Airlines Startup Shuts Down for GoodRemember that airline that wanted to turn Anchorage into the next big transpacific hub? New Pacific Airlines just pulled the plug—no more pivots, it’s over. They tried everything: Asia routes, random US flights, even charters, but the numbers just didn’t work. The dream of a mini-Icelandair in Alaska? Crashed. Now, their 757s are up for grabs and the employees are back on the job hunt. Wild ride, but it’s officially the end of the runway. #News #airlines #travelnews00Share
