Thoughts?

Starting January 27, 2026, Southwest Airlines will require passengers who cannot fit between the armrests of a single seat to purchase an additional seat at the time of booking. A refund for the second seat is only possible under strict conditions, such as the flight departing with an empty seat or with passengers on space-available passes, and if both tickets were the same fare class. This change is part of Southwest's broader shift to assigned seating.

Why Pay Thousands for Business or First Class When You Don’t Have To?

Flying business or first class is the dream for many travelers—extra space, gourmet meals, champagne on takeoff, and the ability to step off the plane actually feeling human.

Yes, people really do pay that much. But here’s the thing— you don’t have to . There’s a Better Way Most travelers assume these kinds of luxury experiences are reserved for the wealthy or business executives. But that’s simply not true.

And honestly, it’s confusing. Are these points even worth anything? Should you spend them now, or save them for later? Maybe you’ve even thought, “I should just use these to pay off part of my statement and be done with it.” Meanwhile, you see other people somehow flying first class with points while you’re still wondering how yours even work. That’s the thing about credit card rewards: the programs are designed to be complicated. Every bank has different rules, the values change depending on how you redeem them, and the fine print makes it feel like you need a law degree to figure it all out. So, what happens? Most people just ignore their points, or they use them in the quickest, easiest way possible—not realizing they could be worth so much more. Here’s the good news: ...
