    Southwest dropped some news this week, and it was all uniformly bad. These were not small changes, and many customers will be upset. "Bags Fly Free" is no longer a surety on Southwest. Many customers, including those that don't have elite status or a credit card with the airline, will now pay for checked bags. Fares are getting more restrictive, award flights are getting more expensive, flight credits will now expire. It's really not good news. Julian Kheel fills in this week to go through all the changes. As the founder of Points Path, he's also the sponsor of our giveaway this week. Be sure to weigh in with your thoughts on the Southwest changes for a chance to win!

    Mar 5 2025
    Watch Us On YouTube! NEW: Chapters are listed at the bottom of the notes! If you enjoy the podcast, I hope you’ll take a moment to leave us a rating. That helps us grow our audience! Richard wants to make sure viewers and listeners understand the history of the Detroit Pistons. But, we're much happier to hear about the award he won at his Daddy-Daughter dance. Ed is asking for the audience's help to decide where he should take his daughter on a summer trip. He also defines the term "Masqueraded" as it relates to the travel world, thanks to Slack member Dan. Richard and Ed are digging into the latest Hyatt Award category changes. They also discuss the relaunch of Aeroplan's points pooling program. And, Ed covers his first visit to the newly opened Capital One lounge at Las Vegas airport. Lastly, the guys are talking about the New England Patriots. They may have lost Super Bowls 42 and 46 to the Giants, but they do have their own plane. Sadly, it turns out their players hate the plane. If you want to support the show, you can subscribe to our private community.
