We 'luv' to see it: Southwest fares now displaying in Google Flights

While many Mallorcan itineraries begin in Palma, I prefer kicking off my vacation at a more relaxed pace in Sóller.

Southwest Airlines is the latest carrier to add special one-off flights for sports fans.

After years of poor customer service strategies and dated cabins, American Airlines has been developing new products and technologies to improve its operations — especially as business travel continues to rebound.

Passengers flying with low-cost airline Southwest are familiar with the slow walk down the plane aisle, carefully eyeing empty seats and gauging whether they’d like to sit there or not. Recently, some passengers have gotten creative with new techniques to discourage people from sitting there  Instagram creators and travel companions Kalah and David Allen published a joint Instagram reel in which the duo pretended to be in a heated argument, as a way to dissuade anyone from joining their row. The video has gone viral on social media, and launched a online discussion about seat-saving etiquette. 

Within the heart of the bustling business district of Metro Manila’s Makati City lies a hidden gem where art, culture and luxury intertwine seamlessly. Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Raffles Makati offers a journey through the rich tapestry of Filipino creativity with its ARTour, the city’s only tour led by an art concierge outside of a museum. The property’s exceptional collection, which spans more than 1,600 works, has become a must-see for art enthusiasts and cultural connoisseurs.

When traveling between two destinations, flying isn’t always the fastest option. Train stations are often located in city centers, making them easier and quicker to get to/from than an airport. You also don’t have to factor in time spent going through security like you do at an airport.

There’s a lot to feast your eyes on in Manila—and if you’re planning your first trip there you might be struggling to narrow down exactly what to do and see during your trip.

For the first time ever, Southwest Airlines flight prices now appear on Google Flights. This is a historic move, as the discount airline is famous for only displaying trip costs on its own website and app. The improved pricing transparency makes it substantially easier to compare flight options on a single platform.

The Tennessee Department of Tourist Development (TDTD) is inviting cyclists to experience Tennessee on 52 new curated road cycling routes that wind their way through the state’s picturesque landscapes. The new program, Bike Tennessee, launched today at BikeTN.com and allows cyclists to engage with the routes using the app Ride with GPS. “From our music to our makers, Tennessee is a state full of storytellers and our beauty is unmatched,” said Commissioner Mark Ezell, TDTD. “As travelers increasingly seek sustainable and authentic experiences, we invite them to explore our scenic routes and discover the charm of our small towns. We are pleased to partner with Ride with GPS and showcase the hidden gems and breathtaking landscapes that define our state.”

Big news from Southwest Airlines this week as the airline changed a long-standing policy and allowed its fares to be listed on a third-party website for the first time. Travelers will now be able to find Southwest flight pricing and details on Google Flights, a move the carrier calls a “pilot partnership.”

Searching for Southwest flights just got easier.
