Dr. Michael Henson+FollowSpirit’s Snack Game Just Leveled UpSpirit Airlines is finally spicing things up—literally! They just dropped a new in-flight menu with over a dozen fresh snacks and drinks (hello, ramen and mojitos). If you snag a Go Big seat, you’ll even get free snacks and drinks—including booze.

Would you upgrade for the free treats? #SpiritAirlines #TravelNews #InflightSnacks #Travel40Share
Jamie Watson+FollowEverest Climbs: Bucket List or Circus?Everest used to be the ultimate mountaineering feat, but now it’s more like a tourist hotspot with crazy crowds and sky-high prices. Caradoc Jones, the first Welshman to summit Everest, says it’s lost its real adventure vibe—think more selfie lines than survival stories. With Nepal planning stricter rules for climbers, maybe the mountain will get its edge back. Would you still put Everest on your bucket list? #Everest #AdventureTourism #TravelNews #Travel10Share
Alexander Thomas+FollowSouthwest’s Free Bags Perk Gets a Plot TwistSouthwest is ditching its famous free checked bags for most flyers starting May 28, 2025—and people are not happy. Now, if you want to check a bag, you’ll have to pay $35 for the first and $45 for the second, but here’s the kicker: you can only pay at the airport, not online. If you booked before May 28, you’re safe! A-List members still get perks, but for everyone else, this is a major shakeup. Would you still fly Southwest? #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews #AirlineFees #Travel42Share
ashley89+FollowSouthwest Isn’t Leaving Love Field!Big shakeups at Southwest Airlines lately—bye-bye free bags and open seating! But here’s the twist: they’re not ditching their OG home at Dallas Love Field. Despite all the changes, Southwest just signed a 12-year deal to stay put until at least 2040. That means more upgrades are coming to the airport, but you can still count on Southwest calling Love Field home. Some things really don’t change! #SouthwestAirlines #DallasLoveField #TravelNews #Travel00Share
