So just when we think the TSA just isn’t cool — they go and prove us wrong. Freddie Gibbs thought he’d be able to put his dope in his checked bag. But the TSA found the grass and thought it would be a good idea to let him off with a note, which simply...
It’s the world’s best selling airplane: The 737. Now, it’s gotten even better. The new 737 Max will increase fuel efficiency and decrease CO2 burns by at least 10 percent and Southwest Airlines will the first to be flying this big birds, which feature lots of technology and modern day comforts. “Today’s environment demands...
Sometimes when I eat airline food, I think I’m going to die. Of course, I’ve never have, I’ve only wanted to after I ate it. I try to steer clear of rubber chicken dinners in any type of banquet, wedding or airline setting, but one person who didn’t is Othon Cortes. Cortes and his...
Southwest Airlines is offering up a few sales today in celebration of Black Monday — the second stupidest day of the year.

USA Today has put together a comprehensive look at all of those airline fees people pay every day when they fly. Airlines say if they don’t charge all of these different fees then they would never make any money — poor guys. But as you can see, the fees vary wildly in just about...
If you thought yesterday’s earthquake was a big deal (shaking up a bunch of people who typically, don’t get shaken up), Irene might have something to say about that. Churning in the Caribbean, Hurricane Irene is getting ready to start strafing the Eastern Seaboard from Florida to New York City over the next week....
All of those rules hanging over airlines kick in today. So what’s in it for you? No more waiting: If you’re on an international flight — you won’t have to sit on the tarmac for more than four hours anymore. (Well, you could, but if you do, the airline faces a fine of $27,500...
