peterfoster+FollowWhy Southwest’s Chilling Out—LiterallyEver wonder why your in-flight soda is extra cold? Turns out, Southwest Airlines is fighting exploding soda cans thanks to this wild heatwave. They’re rolling out refrigerated trucks to keep drinks—and their crews—cool at scorching airports like Phoenix and Vegas. It’s not just about fizzy drinks; it’s about keeping everyone safe when the tarmac feels like an oven. Next time you sip that icy ginger ale at 30,000 feet, thank the heatwave for the upgrade! #TravelHacks #Heatwave2024 #AirlineLife #Business #Industry10Share
Paige Douglas+FollowHow to Outsmart Southwest’s New Bag FeesSouthwest used to be the go-to for free checked bags, but now they’re charging $35 for the first one—unless you’re a frequent flyer or pay for a fancy ticket.

If you want to save, pack light and keep it all in your carry-on! #TravelHacks #SouthwestAirlines #MoneyTips #Business192Share

sperkins+Follow3 Adults, 1 Tiny Cruise Cabin—Worth It?Ever wondered if squeezing three adults into a 150-square-foot cruise cabin is a nightmare or a money-saving win? I tried it with my parents on a trip to Greece and Croatia. We saved over $1,000 by sharing, and honestly, it wasn’t as bad as I thought! The storage was surprisingly good, but sharing one bathroom and fighting for outlets got old fast. The real pain? My bunk bed. Still, the memories (and savings) made it totally worth it! Would you try it? #CruiseLife #TravelHacks #FamilyVacation #Travel00Share
Nicholas Lyons+FollowThe Grossest Spots on Planes, RevealedEver stash your snacks in the seatback pocket or nap on the tray table?

Apparently, deep cleans are rare, so maybe skip using those pockets and always wipe down your tray. Suddenly, those travel-size sanitizers make a lot more sense! #TravelTips #FlightSecrets #TravelHacks #Travel10Share
Christine Baxter+FollowCarnival Cruises Just Flipped the Loyalty ScriptCarnival Cruises is shaking up its loyalty game: starting 2026, it’s not about how many nights you cruise, but how much you spend. So, splurging on spa days, fancy dinners, or even drinks now gets you more perks than just racking up nights at sea. The catch? Status resets every two years, so you’ve got to keep spending to stay VIP. Royal Caribbean fans are watching closely—will their perks be next? #CruiseLife #TravelHacks #CarnivalCruise #Business #MakeMoney30Share
