Travelers can look forward to buying tickets for Southwest Airlines’ new premium seats beginning sometime late next year, CEO Bob Jordan said Thursday. «Selling the new products [is] back half of 2025, and operating the new products [in] the first half of 2026, all of that is on track,” he said at a Goldman Sachs investor conference. The new extra-legroom seats are part of a bigger transformation of Southwest’s product that will see it discard its open-seating, egalitarian model that it credits for much of its success over the past 50 years. Other changes include assigned seating, red-eye flights, and international partnerships, the first of which will be with Icelandair. The changes follow pressure from an activist investor, Elliott Management, for Southwest to improve its financial performance. The new products and flights are expected to generate billions of dollars in new revenue for the airline in the coming years. Southwest is investing “hundreds of millions” of dollars in the new extra-legroom premium seats and other changes, Jordan said. The work includes updating more than 60 of Southwest’s technology systems to sell the new products, and securing Federal Aviation Administration approval of the new seats. The changes are not without risk. The airline has built its brand around its unique product and business, and risks alienating some customers as its offerings become something closer to the other major U.S. airlines.

Inside Boca, a breezy, biophilic tapas restaurant in the heart of Dubai's Financial District, the after-work crowd is drinking at the bar. Downstairs, I've joined friends for dinner in the private dining room located in the restaurant's wine cellar. Many bottles in the collection are from Morocco, Lebanon, and elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa. We start with oysters harvested from Dibba Bay in Fujairah, the easternmost of the United Arab Emirates, on the Gulf of Oman. Opened a decade ago, Boca has become a pioneer in using ingredients sourced from across all seven emirates. The oysters share a menu with only-in-the-Emirates ingredients like khansour, a mountain plant often used in salads, and kingfish from the Arabian Gulf, served ceviche-style. Technically, Boca is a Spanish restaurant, but its Dubai roots and commitment to local ingredients make it uniquely Emirati.
