Kelly Mack+FollowWhy Last-Minute Trips Are the New HackTurns out, waiting until the last minute to book your next getaway isn’t just for the spontaneous—it’s actually smart. I’ve scored 5-star hotels for budget prices and found crazy flight deals just days before leaving. With apps sending real-time alerts and more people craving flexibility (and avoiding non-refundable headaches), last-minute travel is now the move. Plus, it’s way easier to chase those viral TikTok destinations or say yes to a surprise invite. Who knew procrastination could save so much? #Travel #TravelHacks #LastMinuteDeals00Share
Jennifer Reyes+FollowWhy Your Plane Drink Might Explode This SummerEver wondered why your soda can on a flight sometimes looks a little weird? Turns out, Southwest Airlines is spending millions to stop drink cans from popping or exploding in crazy summer heat—think Phoenix or Vegas hot. Exploding cans have actually injured flight attendants! Now, Southwest is rolling out refrigerated trucks to keep drinks (and workers) cool. So next time you sip at 30,000 feet, thank the fridge on wheels! #Business #Industry #TravelHacks10Share
Christina Davis+FollowCan a Piece of Paper Really Delay Your Flight?Ever tried to board a plane and got stopped for holding a simple photo? That’s what happened to a Southwest passenger, who was told his 8x10 picture counted as a third carry-on. Social media went wild, with folks joking about whether a magazine or even a toothpick would get flagged next. The real money move? Double-check what counts as a carry-on, and maybe consider airlines with friendlier baggage rules—especially now that Southwest dropped its two free checked bags perk. #Business #TravelHacks #AirlineDrama163Share
Stacie Hernandez+FollowEver Paid Extra for a 'Window Seat'—and Got a Wall?Ever splurged on a window seat for your flight, only to find yourself staring at a blank wall? You’re not alone—over a million flyers are suing Delta and United for selling 'window seats' that don’t actually have windows. Next time you book, double-check those seat maps or ask before you pay extra. No one wants to pay for a view and get a wall instead! #Business #TravelHacks #FlightTips00Share
Brooke Martin+FollowPlane Engine Fire: Would You Send Goodbye Texts?Imagine you’re mid-flight, sipping your soda, when suddenly you see flames shooting from the wing. That’s what happened on a Condor Airlines flight from Greece to Germany. Passengers were so freaked out, some started sending goodbye texts! The plane made an emergency landing in Italy, and everyone was safe, but some folks had to crash at the airport overnight. Travel hack: always pack snacks and a charger—just in case your trip takes an unexpected detour! #Business #Industry #TravelHacks61Share
sperkins+FollowSolo Flyers, You’re Getting Hit With Sneaky FeesEver noticed flights cost more when you book just one seat? Turns out, some big airlines are quietly charging solo travelers higher fares than pairs for the same flight! It’s popping up mostly on one-way domestic trips. If you’re flying alone, try searching for two tickets and compare the price per person. If it’s cheaper, call the airline and ask for that rate. Don’t let airlines cash in on your solo adventure! #Travel #TravelHacks #SoloTravel190Share
Samuel Gutierrez+FollowSouthwest’s ‘Free Bags’ Comeback—Sort OfCoffee break scoop: Southwest is teasing a big new vacation package, but loyal flyers are still salty about losing free checked bags and open seating.

So, if you want to save on luggage, bundle your trip. Otherwise, you might want to shop around for your next getaway! #Business #SouthwestAirlines #TravelHacks4722Share

To enjoy two free checked bags, you need to book through their new vacation service, Getaways by Southwest.

So, if you're planning a getaway, this might be your ticket to packing freedom! #Business #TravelHacks #SouthwestAirlines235Share
laura54+FollowWhy Your Flight Is Always Delayed NowEver feel like flight delays are just part of travel now? You’re not imagining it—three-hour holdups are four times more common than 30 years ago! Airlines are even sneaking in extra time to make it look like flights are on schedule. The real kicker? All those wasted hours add up to billions in lost time every year. Until airports hire more staff or expand, expect more hurry-up-and-wait at the gate. Pro tip: always pack snacks and a phone charger! #Business #TravelHacks #FlightDelays71Share
