Disney4me Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago From price increases to adjusting to changes, it’s been a tough year when it comes to travel and flying! Southwest Airlines Well, we have some good travel news to share with you for a change. Both Southwest Airlines and Frontier Airlines have announced new perks and expanded perks. If you find yourself flying with these budget-friendly airlines often, you’re going to want to hear about these! Starting with Southwest, the airline expanded Sip and Ship to four Texas airports last week. The airports include Dallas Love Field, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, William P. Hobby Airport, and San Antonio International Airport. Southwest Airlines at MCO Sip and Ship is a program that Southwest launched earlier this year at 19 select West Coast airports, and now they’ve decided to expand. The program allows customers to check a case of wine FREE of charge. Southwest decided to bring the perk to Texas “after hearing from Texas wine lovers and growers who wanted the same offering in the Lone Star State.” ©Southwest Airlines If you’re unfamiliar with the perk, customers 21 years of age or older can check one case of wine at no additional charge. You can bring one properly packaged case of wine (up to 12 bottles), weighing 50lbs or less and falling within our standard sizing limit (62″ or less) to the Southwest ticket counter. Southwest actually celebrated Sip and Ship’s Texas debut this past weekend at the Austin Food & Wine Festival, which you’ll see below! ©Southwest Now let’s talk about Frontier, because the airline just launched sales for first-class seating for travel starting in early March 2027! This change by Frontier is in hopes that it will draw in more passengers who will spend more money, in an attempt to combat the high costs of jet fuel. Flying According to the Orlando Sentinel, “the Denver-based airline said that first-class seating installation is under way aboard its Airbus jetliners and that the expansion of its premium sections will span eight rows.” The first-class seating of the planes will be in a two-by-two configuration with “up to 37 inches of pitch”. Seats in rows three through eight will offer extra legroom with up to “34 inches of pitch.” They also added that “in-seat power among the rows will be available in addition to the airline’s previously announced Starlink Wi-Fi service, which will also become available in 2027.” Frontier Plane at the Orlando Airport “We’re transforming what customers can expect when they fly Frontier,” said the airline’s chief marketing officer, Bobby Schroeter. “First Class seating, more room to stretch out, in-seat power and fast, reliable Starlink Wi-Fi will bring a new level of comfort and convenience to flying with us. We’re continuing to deliver the great value our customers count on, combining more comfort and choice with Frontier’s low fares.” ©Frontier Airlines We’ve been getting news regarding these airlines all year long, and it continues with these new perks.
