Linda Price+FollowSouthwest’s Summer Flight Cuts: What Gives?So, Southwest isn’t just ditching free bags—they’re also trimming flights this summer, especially out of St. Louis. Why? With folks feeling the pinch from inflation and travel costs, fewer people are booking those summer getaways. If you’re planning a trip, double-check your flight options—some routes might be gone or pricier. Looks like even airlines are tightening their belts when vacationers do! #Business #TravelTips #FlightHacks10Share
Alexander Thomas+FollowWhy You Should Ditch Leggings on FlightsDid you know leggings could actually be risky on a plane? Apparently, if there’s an emergency (like a fire), those comfy polyester/spandex leggings can melt and stick to your skin—ouch! Experts say it’s safer to rock loose cotton, denim, or wool instead. It’s not a TSA rule, but it’s solid advice if you want to play it safe. Who knew your travel outfit could be a safety issue? #TravelTips #FlightHacks #TravelSafety #Travel40Share
Molly Russell+Followis booking flights 6 months early the secret to stress-free travel?When it comes to snagging the best deals for international flights, I always plan way ahead. My sweet spot is usually 5-6 months before my trip. Prices tend to be lower, and I get more options for seats and flight times. I use flight trackers and set alerts for my destinations. This way, I can jump on a good deal as soon as it pops up. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my favorite days to book because I’ve noticed prices drop midweek. I also clear my browser cookies or use incognito mode to avoid price hikes. Planning early gives me peace of mind and more time to get excited about my adventure! #TravelTips #FlightHacks #InternationalTravel #BookEarly #Travel70Share
Michael Alvarez+FollowWait, You Can’t Bring THIS Drink on a Plane?Did you know TSA bans alcohol over 140 proof (that’s 70%+ alcohol, like some absinthes and 151 rum) from both carry-ons and checked bags? It’s not just the usual suspects like matches or party poppers—super strong booze is a no-go too! Also, those power banks and lithium batteries? They’re only allowed in your carry-on, not checked luggage. Southwest even wants your chargers out in the open now. Wild, right? #TravelTips #TSA #FlightHacks #Food00Share
Arthur Booker+FollowWhy Your Favorite Flight DisappearedHeads up, travelers! Delta is quietly cutting some routes, and it’s not just about empty seats. Thanks to new tariffs on imported planes, Delta’s stuck between pricier jets and fewer options to expand. The CEO says they won’t pay the extra fees, but that could mean fewer new planes and less flexibility for us. So, if your go-to flight vanishes or upgrades slow down, now you know why! #TravelTips #DeltaAirlines #FlightHacks #Business10Share

A former American Airlines pilot says that’s the #1 spot people lose their stuff—and once you leave the plane, good luck getting it back! Apparently, those pockets are a black hole for valuables.

Paige Douglas+FollowWhy Your Europe-to-US Flight Got PricierEver wonder why your summer flight from Paris or Berlin to New York suddenly costs more or is harder to find? Turns out, fewer Europeans are booking trips to the U.S. this year, partly because of political vibes and travel uncertainty. Airlines are quietly shifting planes to places like Canada and Brazil, so if you’re eyeing a U.S. getaway, book early—or consider a new destination! #TravelTrends #FlightHacks #MoneyMoves #Business30Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowWhy Southwest Wants Your Charger OutHeads up, frequent flyers! Southwest is rolling out a new rule: starting May 28, 2025, you’ll need to keep your portable chargers and power banks out in the open while using them on flights. No more charging your phone with the power bank buried in your bag. It’s all about safety—those little batteries can overheat and even catch fire. So, next time you fly, keep your charger visible and help everyone stay safe. Bet other airlines will copy this soon! #TravelTips #FlightHacks #SouthwestAirlines #Business10Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowWhy Even Air Traffic Pros Avoid NewarkHere’s a wild travel tip: an air traffic controller just admitted she avoids flying out of Newark Airport—even if it means paying more or taking a longer route. Why? She experienced a scary 90-second blackout where she couldn’t talk to any planes. Apparently, tech glitches and staff moves have made things shaky there. So, if you’re booking a flight, maybe think twice about choosing convenience over peace of mind! #TravelTips #AirportStories #FlightHacks #MoneyLifehacks #Business20Share
