Old Hollywood, favorite characters, Star Wars, Pixar…this park has it ALL! Hollywood Studios That’s right, we’re talking about Disney’s Hollywood Studios! It’s an incredibly popular stop in Disney World these days thanks to newer additions like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Toy Story Land, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, but there’s so much to discover besides just those things. To prove it, here’s a list of everything that’s new in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Hollywood Studios Food Updates Snack Carts At snack carts around the park, we noticed that the Sweet and Savory Popcorn mix was BACK again! This combination has a mix of caramel popcorn and cheese popcorn. YUM. Sweet and Savory Popcorn! You can get a bag of this treat for $7.50. Make sure to check out our review below! Click Here for Last Year’s Review of the Popcorn! Hollywood Studios Construction Updates Toy Story Land There are two big construction projects happening in Toy Story Land currently, one of which is the Roundup Rodeo BBQ restaurant! This spot has seen a few updates, with scaffolding added to the outside and a visible awning above what looks to be the entrance to the restaurant. A peek at the construction. Also, there has been some construction happening in the Toy Story Mania queue. As you exit the ride, there’s a large construction wall on the side by Woody’s Lunch Box. Construction by Toy Story Mania It seems that there’s some work being done next to the quick service restaurant, but it’s not visible at this time. We’ll look out for any changes. Hollywood Studios Attractions Updates Beauty and the Beast: Live on Stage At the Beauty and the Beast stage show on Sunset Boulevard, we noticed some new signage this week. Finding the entrance to the theater can be a bit confusing, so Disney has opted to clarify with directions pointing towards the Lightning Lane and the standby queue. New signs! Hopefully, this will help clear up any confusion! Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates Celebrity 5&10 Let’s start things out at Celebrity 5&10, where we had quite a few new Christmas ornaments available in the home section. First up, there’s this adorable Winnie the Pooh ornament for $26.99. Look at him checking out that hunny-filled belly in the mirror! He’s so cute! Celebrating 90 years of Mickey’s pal, this Goofy ornament is available for $26.99 as well. Happy birthday, Goof! And speaking of classic characters, check out the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Ornament! It’s a little cheaper at $24.99. That’s a throwback! Even Daisy got her own design! You can purchase this ornament for $24.99. Can’t forget about this queen. There were also a number of ornaments inspired by Disney movies. We had the Lilo & Stitch ornament… What a sweet family design. …a design to salute The Rescuers… It’s the 45th anniversary! …this one for The Lion King… An iconic film moment indeed. …and a Jungle Book design! These were all $24.99 each. Would you take this one home? There’s also a new Tinker Bell ornament for $26.99. This one has got some personality! Oh Tink, you’re so silly. And if you’re a fan of the underrated Disney film, Treasure Planet, then you’ll want to pick up this matching ornament for $24.99. It’s not often that we see Treasure Planet merchandise! We don’t get a lot of Treasure Planet merch! Finally, we’ve got two designs for princess fans. A Rapunzel ornament for $24.99… And at last I see the light… …and one made to look like Giselle from Enchanted for $26.99. How pretty! Such an underrated Disney princess! In the section of the store known as The Darkroom, you’ll find MagicBands, pins, Apple Watch bands, phone cases, and the like. This week, we spotted a new Tower of Terror MagicBand+ in there for $44.99. Another design you can collect! We also found two new pins in The Darkroom. There’s a Lucifer pin… Fancy a Lucifer pin? …and this design from the movie Bolt for $19.99 each. Five points if you know this cat’s name. Both are great Halloween souvenirs for cat fans! Mickey’s of Hollywood Across the street, you can visit Mickey’s of Hollywood, where we found the Halloween Reusable Shopping Bag this week. Perfect for the season! You can purchase this bag for $5.99. Keystone Clothiers Also on Hollywood Boulevard, you’ll find Keystone Clothiers. This shop is known for carrying Marvel and Star Wars merchandise, and this week we spotted several new items inside. The new collection for the upcoming Marvel film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was here, which included this button-up shirt for $59.99. So colorful! We also found the matching Wakanda Forever scarf for $39.99. Okay, this is a NEED. And if you want something more casual, get the Wakanda Forever long-sleeve tee for $39.99. We can’t wait for this movie! In the back of the store, there was a small section of merchandise dedicated to George Lucas’s film Willow. There’s a new set of Willow figurines in this collection for $19.99. They’ve got Willow merch! And fans of the movie will want to check out the matching t-shirt as well! It’s available in adult sizes for $36.99. You can get a matching tee. Got some kiddos with a light sibling rivalry? This Thor & Loki Halloween Shirt for Kids caught our eye this week. How funny! Grab matching ones for your little ones for $29.99 each. Tatooine Traders New Wonderground Gallery postcards arrived in Tatooine Traders this week. The Star Wars designs are inspired by Attack of the Clones… We love this design. …as well as the sequel trilogy characters. You can get them for $6.99 each. And one for the sequel fans! If you don’t already have enough Baby Yoda merchandise (is there really such a thing as too much?!), then take a look at this new Grogu Collectible Figure for $29.99. He’s so cute! And last, in Tatooine Traders, we spotted this Obi-Wan Kenobi pin set. Hey pin collectors, this one is for you! It’s available for $39.99. Legends of Hollywood Heading down Sunset Boulevard, there were some new items in Legends of Hollywood. First, we noticed the new COACH x Disney Mug for $35. We always need more Disney mugs. This store was also home to the new Color Me Courtney Princess Tiana Prints. They match the rest of the collection that was released a few weeks ago. You’ll have to shell out a little bit more to buy these. You can get them for $199.99 each. Tower Gifts Down the road at the Tower of Terror gift shop, we spotted this Up to No Good Bag. We’re suckers for villain merch! This looks like the perfect Halloween accessory if you ask us! Get it for $39.99. Rock Around the Shop Next door at Rock Around the Shop, there’s a new Marvel Airpod Case for $19.99. Avengers assemble! The design features some fan-favorite Avengers! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Marketplace And finally, we stopped at the marketplace in Galaxy’s Edge to see if there was anything new there. Inside the Black Spire Outfitters shop, we noticed this new Black Spire Hat for $29.99. That’ll have you looking like the locals! Okay, we kinda dig this look. Across the walkway in Jewels of Bith, there were some new bags. First, we’ve got this set of three animal-inspired pouches for $29.99. Great for keeping your stuff organized! And then we found this Black Spire Outpost Fanny Pack (or belt bag, whichever you prefer) for $24.99. Do we need one? That’s everything new in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We’ll continue visiting the park to bring you more news, so stay tuned to DFB. We’ve got quite a few new Halloween treats coming soon, and we can’t wait to share our thoughts with all of you.

We have been following the development of Tropical Depression 9 and its potential impact on Florida over the last few days. Tropical Depression 9 is being monitored and will soon turn into a Tropical Storm. The path of the storm is not certain, but it could become a major hurricane threat for Florida. Rain, Rain, Go AWAY! In anticipation of this, Governor Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency for 24 Florida counties as the storm has continued to strengthen. One of the counties listed is a Disney World county, so we want to make sure that all of our readers are informed! Below is a list of the following counties under state of emergency. Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Highlands, Hillsborough, Indian River, Lee, Manatee, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Okeechobee, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota, and St. Lucie. We will continue to update this list as counties are removed or added. Rainy Day WPBF shared the following statement from DeSantis, “Today, I signed an executive order issuing a State of Emergency due to the threat of Tropical Depression 9,” DeSantis said. “This storm has the potential to strengthen into a major hurricane and we encourage all Floridians to make their preparations. We are coordinating with all state and local government partners to track potential impacts of this storm.” We have also shared the Orlando International Airport is also preparing for the potential hurricane. You can get all of the details on those preparations here. We will continue to monitor this situation and how it could impact you and your trip to Disney World in the coming days. For now, you can watch our video below on what we wish we knew before going to Disney World during hurricane season.

Hurricanes are known to impact Florida almost every year, and the season is not yet over. Hurricane Day in Disney In fact, we’ve seen several storms to watch lately, like Fiona and Gaston, and now, there’s a new tropical depression that could potentially be on its way to Florida. So, if you’re flying into Orlando soon, you need to be aware of some changes that have been made due to the weather. Tropical Depression 9 is being watched now and will soon turn into a Tropical Storm. The path of the storm is not certain, but it could become a major hurricane threat for Florida. Hurricane Skies in Disney World’s Epcot In anticipation of this, Orlando International Airport tweeted out a message saying that pre-storm precautions and protective measures are being taken to coordinate airport activities. They said that the relocation dates for jetBlue & Caribbean Airlines to Terminal C will be rescheduled. Terminal C is the brand new terminal that just opened up this week at the airport, and several airlines are planned to be flying out of the terminal moving forward. Inside Terminal C If you’re flying into Orlando in the next few days, make sure you keep up with any info or announcements from your airline and the airport. We’ll be keeping an eye on the storm and let you know if any other major changes happen at Orlando International Airport. Orlando International Airport At time of writing, Tropical Depression 9 could come to Florida next week as a major Category 3 hurricane, according to The Orlando Sentinel. This has caused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to declare a state of emergency in 24 counties, including Osceola, where part of Disney World is located. It has not been declared in Orange County at this time, which is where Orlando International Airport and the majority of Disney World is located. ©NOAA The storm could either become Hurricane Hermine or Hurricane Ian — it just depends on how fast it intensifies compared to another new tropical depression in the Atlantic Ocean.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Sometimes Halloween really sneaks up on us! You might have a party coming up and no time to plan a costume, or maybe you’re a parent who wants to throw together a look while taking your kids out trick-or-treating. Halloween is upon us! There’s no need to stay up late crafting the perfect look or shelling out tons of cash for a decent costume. These Halloween tees from Jane are probably the easiest costumes we’ve ever seen! These tees are only $19.99 and are the perfect throw-on-and-go Halloween costume! Halloween Shirt Costume Tees These shirts are fun because you can design your own! Just pick what design you want on the front and then choose from over 30 different colors. You can be Pac-Man, one of the ghosts, an M&M, or a crayon. So many combinations! Any of these tops would be fine as a single costume and easily recognizable. They’d also make great group costumes! Whether you’re a couple, a group of friends, or dressing up for an event with an organization, ordering a bunch of one of the styles is a super easy way to coordinate with everyone, plus there’s no limit to how many people to include! Halloween Shirt Costume Tees You really can pair these shirts with whatever bottoms you’d like — jeans, a skirt, whatever you’re comfortable in. For the crayons, we think they would really look great if you wore your shirt with matching bottoms to really make it a complete look! Otherwise, you can never go wrong with black leggings. If you’re going trick-or-treating and your area gets cold in October, you could easily layer your shirt over a long-sleeved shirt or thin jacket to stay warm. You might want to order a size up to accommodate the layering. Halloween Shirt Costume Tees Now we’re ready to celebrate Halloween in comfort.

Due to that change, the Festival of Fantasy parade will drop to just 1 showtime starting October 9th. Don’t miss the Festival of Fantasy Parade Keep in mind that showtimes for the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade can change quite a bit due to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party being offered in the park.

One of the best accessories to bring Disney into any outfit is a Minnie ear headband. You can get them in all kinds of styles — from the casual corduroy ears we saw recently to $600 (!) tiara ears designed by Vera Wang herself. So many ears!

It might be EPCOT Food & Wine Festival time right now but another EPCOT festival souvenir is making an appearance in Disney World! It’s Food & Wine time! We’ve seen some popular souvenirs released during EPCOT festivals, like the Orange Bird cup, the Figment popcorn bucket, and even a Remy spork, and one souvenir is coming back for a limited time! Spike the Bee was a Disney cartoon character in the 1940s and 1950s, and we’ve seen him pop up during the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival in a few ways. You could find Spike in various areas around EPCOT during the festival as part of the Spike the Bee’s Pollen-Nation Exploration scavenger hunt. It’s Spike! We also saw Spike available as a souvenir sipper cup! Cute, right? You might be feeling bummed if you don’t want to wait for the next Flower & Garden Festival in 2023, but we have some news. Spike the Bee Sipper In honor of National Honey Month, the Spike the Bee Sipper is coming BACK for a limited time! You can find him in two places while supplies last, either the Everything Pop Shopping & Dining at Disney’s Pop Century Resort or Roaring Fork at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort. ©Disney We’re not sure how long Spike will be available so make sure you stop by those spots sooner rather than later if you want to add him to your souvenir collection!

Dining at Disney World can be complicated. Almost every table service restaurant at the resort requires advance dining reservations — and many book up FAST. ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort That means planning WAY in advance and knowing where you want to eat several months before you even arrive! Because it is so complicated, we’ve all made mistakes in how we book dining, so we’re going to pass those on so you don’t make those mistakes, too! Not Making Reservations Early There’s a reason we recommend you make dining reservations as early as possible by either calling 714-781-DINE (3463) or booking them through the Disney World website or My Disney Experience app. That’s because a lot of table service restaurants fill up quickly, and if there’s somewhere you want to eat, you need to grab that reservation quickly. Garden Grill The earliest you can make reservations is 60 days from the first day of your Disney World trip, so get up early on that morning and get ready to BOOK. Here’s how to make advance dining reservations Making Too Many Table Service Reservations So here’s the thing — spending time inside a table service restaurant can take up your valuable park time, so you need to realize that before you start booking restaurants. If you make too many reservations, you might spend more time inside restaurants than riding attractions or enjoying the parks! Dining at Be Our Guest can take some TIME So be sure you’re not over scheduling your meals — it’s not a good idea to book more than one table service meal a day. Trust us, we’ve learned this the hard way! How Many Days Do You Really Need in Disney World? Find Out! Not Checking Often Enough If you don’t get those reservations at your 60-days and out point, don’t fret. Here’s the thing — people are ALWAYS canceling reservations, which will open them up for you, so you just have to keep checking Disney World’s website or the app to see when new reservations are available. Didn’t get that reservation for Space 220? Keep checking! If you check often enough, you just might find an open spot for you and your party! Here Are 3 HUGE Tips for Snagging Hard-to-Get Reservations in Disney World Not Checking For Reservations On Disney World’s Website So we’ve found a weird thing when booking dining in Disney World. We’ve had situations where we’ve tried to look at the reservations page on the My Disney Experience app for a specific date and time and come up empty-handed. BUT when we go to a specific restaurant’s page on the app and search for reservations, we find them! ©Disney So keep that in mind if you’re looking for reservations — it’s probably a good rule of thumb to just check the restaurant’s page directly every time. Here’s Everything to Consider Before Making Disney World Dining Reservations Not Checking the Walk-Up Waitlist Still didn’t manage to get that coveted dining location you wanted? Well, guess what? You might just be able to walk into the restaurant on the day of by checking the Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist. All you have to do is go to the restaurant’s page in the My Disney Experience app and you’ll see the Walk-Up Waitlist. If tables are available, you can join the waitlist and get notified when a table is ready for you! Walk-Up Waitlist at Nomad Lounge You’ll have to be fast for those restaurants that use this, though — a lot of guests now know about this feature because it’s one of the best ways to get into a restaurant without an advance dining reservation. Learn More About the Mobile Walk-Up Waitlist Not Getting the DFB Dining Guide Our best tip for not making mistakes with Disney dining is to buy our DFB Guide to Dining at Walt Disney World, which gets you immediate access to our downloadable worksheets for planning your trip, as well as sample one-day dining itineraries.

Use code WDW2022 for 25% off your purchase. Buy Our DFB Guide to Dining at Walt Disney World! Not Trying New Dining Locations and Experiences We get it — we all have our favorite restaurants at Disney World and we do return to those places over and over again. But a big mistake we’re all making is not giving new locations and experiences a shot. So take a look at all of those restaurants at Disney World, check out some reviews (again, you can see those in our dining guide), and pick out something NEW and different! Have you ever dined at Sanaa? The thing about trying out different restaurants is that you just might find a new favorite spot! Here Are Some Of The Most Underrated Restaurants in Disney World! Only Booking Dining in the Parks Yes, it’s convenient to book dining in the parks when you know you’ll be there, but if you’re ONLY looking at restaurants in the parks, you might just be missing out. There are some INCREDIBLE restaurants at Disney World resorts AND at Disney Springs (and we recommend keeping a day open JUST for Disney Springs and/or to resort-hop). Homecomin’ in Disney Springs is a MUST! If it’s inconvenient to book dining outside of the parks, think about this — if you’re in Magic Kingdom, places like Steakhouse 71, ‘Ohana, and the Grand Floridian Cafe are just a Monorail ride away. If you’re at EPCOT, you’re within walking distance of several resorts with great dining options. If you’re at Animal Kingdom, you could hop on a bus to Animal Kingdom Lodge and check out the restaurants there. Here Are the 19 Best Restaurants In Disney World in 2022 Not Checking Menus and Reading Reviews Don’t ever just blindly book a spot at Disney World, even if EVERYONE has told you to eat there. You want to look at menus first (especially if you have dietary concerns) and make sure there are things on there you actually want to eat. You can do this through the My Disney Experience app and on the Disney World website. You can always check menus BEFORE you dine! Also, read REVIEWS! You’ll find reviews for almost every single restaurant in Disney World here on DFB, so use our site as a resource! Here Are All The Disney World Secret Menu Items! Booking a Meal in EPCOT AND Eating Festival Foods If you plan on attending one of EPCOT’s festivals and eating most of festival foods, do not — we repeat, DO NOT — book a table service meal. You will likely regret it. Here’s the thing — you can fill up on festival foods fast, and you will not want to add a heavy meal into the mix. Food and Wine Festival So if you’re eating your way around the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival (and trust us, there is a LOT of food available), we suggest skipping the table service dining on that day. Here Are Our FULL Reviews For EVERY EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Booth Not Checking Entertainment Times If there’s a parade, fireworks, or any other entertainment that you want to see, be sure to check the showtimes because you do not want to book a meal and have to miss something you wanted to see. You can always check times on the My Disney Experience app, as well as on the Disney World website calendar. Don’t miss the Festival of Fantasy Parade by booking dining at the same time! Don’t miss out on something because you didn’t think to check in advance — you’ll just end up regretting it. Book your dining before or after! Here’s A Full Guide To ALL The Entertainment in Disney World! Not Asking to Sit at the Bar Many Disney World table service restaurants have a bar, and even if the restaurant is full, the bar may not be. So ask to sit at the bar — in most places, you’ll have access to at least part of the restaurant’s menu, if not the FULL menu. Steakhouse 71 Lounge Some locations do have a different bar menu, but you’re sure to find something you like on that, as well. Plus it doesn’t hurt to ask if you can order from the full menu: for example, if you’re sitting in the Space 220 Lounge, you can still order the prix fixe menu from the restaurant. Here are the TOP 16 Bars and Lounges in Disney World Not Knowing Where Restaurants Are Located Here’s another tip: know where restaurants are when you’re booking them. You don’t want to book a meal at a restaurant in a park that you’re not going to be in. Nor do you want to book a restaurant at a resort that’s far away from where you plan on being on that given day. Don’t book Topolino Terrace if you’re not going to be anywhere near the Riviera! So how do you figure out where everything is located? First, there is a map on the Disney World website to give you a good idea of the lay of the land, but you can also check Google Maps so you can look up distances between locations. Here Are the Disney World Hotel Restaurants Our Readers Love! So there you have it, be sure to consider these mistakes before booking your dining reservations in Disney World. We have plenty of resources on our site to help you decide where to eat, and we post reviews, as well as menu updates, regularly. So be sure to check with us often! There’s a reason “Food” is in our name — we know Disney food!

Heading to Disney World Soon? Over the past few years, we’ve seen Disney stock hit some low lows and high highs. So where is it at right now? Let’s take a look together. On September 23rd, 2022, Disney stock was trading at around $99.71 when we checked. That marked a slight decrease from where the stock began the day. ©Google Looking at the last 5-day period, the numbers seem to be going in a less-than-ideal direction for the Company. ©Google Unfortunately, the 1-month look doesn’t look all that great either, as Disney’s stock is hitting levels lower than what was seen 30 days ago. ©Google Looking at the stock values from the beginning of 2022 to now, you can see some big changes. The stock hit values in the $150s earlier in the year, dropped to the low 90s in July, picked up again in August, and is now slipping once more. ©Google Though Disney saw a slight increase in stock values following some strong streaming and parks news, that bump has faded away. Not even excitement over announcements shared at the D23 Expo (Disney’s biggest event of the year) could provide a consistent push for Disney stock values. D23 Expo was held on September 9th-11th, during which time Disney revealed first looks at some upcoming projects (like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure which will replace Splash Mountain), announced NEW movies, shared NEW trailers, and more. ©Disney Following the news from the Expo, Disney did see a bump in stock value — but that has since dropped. ©Google Perhaps some were disappointed by the lack of concrete news for future park projects or the absence of news about certain things that had been previously announced. While the low value isn’t great news for current stockholders, if you have been looking to buy Disney stock you may want to watch those prices and see if it’s a good time to buy (before stock values go up). 100 Years of Wonder Some of that drop in value could also be due to things outside of Disney’s control. CNBC points out that stocks tumbled on Friday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling more than 700 points, and the 30-stock index falling 20% from its high. This is known as “bear market territory” when it comes to Wall Street. Quincy Krosby from LPL Financial shared, “The market has been transitioning clearly and quickly from worries over inflation to concerns over the aggressive Federal Reserve campaign.” CNBC reports that surging interest rates and “foreign currency turmoil” have “heightened fears of a global recession,” impacting the stock market as a result. EPCOT Of course, things are subject to change again. There are several events left in 2022 that could encourage investors to feel more confident about the Company and increase stock values. There’s EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary coming in October, the release of a new Disney animated film and a new Avatar movie in theaters, and Disney’s Q4 earnings report which should come later this year. If Disney has good news to share and hits large levels of success, we could see stock values jump up. A change in overall market conditions could also alter Disney’s stock values. We’ll keep an eye out for updates, but for now, you might want to close your eyes and not look too closely at the value of all those shares of Disney stock you’ve got. ©Disney For more general Disney news on things that could impact the future of the company, click here to see 8 BIG things that will change in Disney’s future, and click here to see what Disney CEO Bob Chapek has to say about price increases, annual passes, and park passes.

Ever wonder what the BEST airline is in the entire world so you can make your next flight aboard the best of the best? You Should Fly With the BEST Well, different airlines might be labeled as the “best” or “worst” for different reasons or by utilizing different standards. We’ve already taken a look at some of the best and worst airlines in the U.S. according to customer complaints, and we looked at what one website ranked as the best airline in the world. But now some new rankings have come in and we have our list of WINNERS. The World Airline Awards have named their picks for the World’s Top 10 Airlines of 2022 (and have handed out other awards too). According to their website, the World Airline Awards are sometimes referred to as the “Oscars of the aviation industry.” Any airline in the world can be nominated, and the Award-winning airlines are voted for by customers. Over 100 customer nationalities participated in the survey for 2021-2022 and over 350 airlines were included in the survey results. All in all, 13.42 MILLION eligible survey entries were counted in the final results, and those surveyed were asked for their opinions on a variety of topics including service friendliness, the airline website, seat comfort, the quality of meals, and more. ©World Airline Awards So just what airline won the top spot for 2022? Well, it’s actually no surprise here — for the SEVENTH TIME, Qatar Airways was named the World’s BEST Airline. Qatar Airways was also named the best airline in the world by AirlineRatings.com. ©Qatar Airways via Airlineratings.com For the World Airline Awards, Singapore Airlines won second place, with Emirates in third. Here’s a look at the top 10 list: Qatar Airways Singapore Airlines Emirates ANA All Nippon Airways Qantas Airways Japan Airlines Turkish Airlines Air France Korean Air Swiss Int’l Air Lines ©Qatar Airways But there are more awards handed out at the “Oscars” for airlines. The world’s best airline for cleanliness was ANA All Nippon Airways, while Singapore Airlines won for the world’s best cabin crew. The best economy class award went to Emirates, while Turkish Airlines won for the best airline in Europe. ©World Airline Awards Delta Air Lines won quite a few awards, including best airline in North America, best cabin crew in the USA, and best airline staff service in North America, among other things. Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines won for the best low-cost airline in North America and the USA, and United Airlines won for best business class lounge in North America. ©Travel and Leisure So before you book your next trip, you might want to check out the World Airline Awards to see what fellow travelers have to say.
