Volcano Views Are Back at This Epic Spot!

After 7 years, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park’s Kīlauea Observation Deck (Uēkahuna) is finally reopening!

Spirit’s Snack Game Just Leveled Up

Spirit 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. Go Comfy seats get a free snack mix and a nonalcoholic drink. Everyone else? You’ll have to pay, but at least the options are way better now. Would you upgrade for the free treats? #SpiritAirlines #TravelNews #InflightSnacks #Travel

Everest 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 #Travel

Southwest’s Free Bags Perk Gets a Plot Twist

Southwest 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 #Travel

Southwest 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 #Travel

Iconic Santa Monica Hotel Shuts Down

Did you hear? The legendary Shangri-La Hotel in Santa Monica (recently renamed The Beacon) just closed after 86 years! Travelers are freaking out—some even lost money on canceled bookings. The hotel’s new owner, Sonder, is having major financial trouble and shut down most of its locations. Now, the site’s being rebranded as “The Eden” and might reopen this summer. Wild to see such a historic spot go dark! #SantaMonica #HotelClosure #TravelNews #Travel

Everest’s Wild Traffic Jam!

Everest is packed! Nearly 500 climbers from all over the world (plus just as many guides) are crowding the mountain, leading to epic traffic jams—yep, even at 29,000 feet. The weather’s been brutal, with storms and flu knocking people out of the race. Record-breaker Kami Rita Sherpa just hit his 31st summit, but tons of newbies are slowing things down for the pros. Should there be a climbing test before you go? #MountEverest #Adventure #TravelNews #Spirituality
