Baggage claim!
We have been getting a lot of news regarding flights in 2026, and it doesn’t look like there are any signs of it slowing down. Based on how everything has gone this year so far, there are some things you need to be aware of if you’re bringing a checked bag.
Southwest Airlines has been making a lot of changes recently, including removing its free checked-bag perk and switching to assigned seating. Now, Southwest Airlines has added a NEW perk, and wine lovers are going to be excited about this one. Southwest just announced its new Sip and Ship Program, which will allow passengers to bring home a case of wine from their favorite wine country destination. The best part? The case of wine flies for free!

No special membership required and no checked baggage fees. That’s right, you can bring home an entire case of wine for free when you fly on Southwest Airlines. Of course, there are a few caveats, so let’s dive into the details of this new perk.
We’ve got some bad news in the aviation industry, an area that seems to have had a bit of a rough start to this year.
United Airlines
Wait times for TSA have been hours long across the country and have only just begun returning to normal, and large storms have caused many disruptions in operations throughout the year so far. Now, some aspects of flying could get more expensive as gas prices continue to rise. If you’re flying with United Airlines soon, you need to know that for now, you’ll be paying more for checked bags.
Oh, the times they are a-changin’ over at Southwest Airlines, and passengers are paying more as a result.

Here’s everything you need to know…
