The Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling against Southwest Airlines on Tuesday that is both almost self-evident in its simplicity as it will be surprising to some to see.
The Court ruled 8-0, with Justice Thomas writing the opinion and Justice Barrett not participating in the case, that ramp workers loading and unloading baggage and cargo are engaging in interstate commerce.
It seems to me that it is one thing to save a seat or even a row, and other thing entirely to save multiple rows. Still it is not against Southwest’s rules. I’m not sure how a passenger trying to save a row behind them would block a passenger from sitting there, but social custom seems to make it a plausible strategy.
Is saving multiple rows of seats going overboard? Would you honor someone’s claim that they’re saving seats in a row they aren’t physically in?
It looks like Southwest Airlines is preparing to enter into partnerships with other airlines. That could mean selling tickets that include connections on other airlines as well as transferring bags. It might even mean codeshares, and frequent flyer earning and redemption as well.
OnlyFans model Vvs Diamond took off her underwear on a Southwest Airlines flight to Chicago Midway airport and dried them underneath the air nozzle above her seat.
She was enroute to the ‘Exxxotica expo’ (an “adult, love and sex event”) when she spilled her adult beverage on herself prior to boarding. She acknowledges being drunk from the prior evening when she continued drinking in the airport (“a few strong mimosas”).
A passenger photographed evidence of one of the worst behaviors possible on an aircraft. It started with their seatmate’s bare feet. But the man didn’t leave hit feet on the ground, he decided to use the woman’s tray table as a foot rest and go to sleep.

Southwest Airlines has deemed another passenger too sexy to fly. And when they object to the attire of a 19 year old girl, with an employee reportedly yelling at them “your boobs are hanging out” is it the airline that’s sexualizing the situation?
On Monday passengers got into the act, joining other crewmembers, in making a Southwest Airlines flight attendant’s last trip before retirement special.
On the last flight this crewmember was scheduled to work, the “other flight attendants had her hide and literally everyone on the plane helped decorate” the aircraft to celebrate while she wasn’t looking.
Proposals are popular – almost de rigueur – on airplanes. And weddings are popular in Las Vegas, But when this couple had several Southwest Airlines flights delayed on their way to get married in Las Vegas, they decided not to wait – and got married inflight on their Dallas Love Field – Phoenix segment.
When the federal transportation mask mandate was overturned by a judge, and the administration decided not to seek an immediate stay of the order but instead to cease its enforcement, airlines began lifting their mask rules.
Southwest Airlines didn’t just send out a statement to customers and to the press that they were lifting their mask rules, Southwest Airlines dispatch sent a message to pilots Monday evening letting them know that the rules had changed mid-flight.
