Today alone a Southwest Airlines flight had to be evacuated when a person's Galaxy 7 started warming up in his pocket. The label on Green’s Note 7 box had a black square, and Samsung said that mark = a safe device. However that turned out not to be true and all consumers should be aware .

According to Business Insider, Southwest Airlines is trying to stay afloat during the pandemic by adjusting their routes. They recently announced that they will serve nine new leisure routes to cities across the country, with a focus on Florida, Colorado, and California. The sharp drop in business customers has forced Southwest to serve airports it has historically avoided and operate seasonal services, to places like Miami; Palm Springs, California; and Montrose, Colorado, just in time for ski season. Palm Springs is also a popular destination for social distancing. Alaska Airlines has also recently added new routes to the desert location as well. The country largest low-cost airline will also expand their service in Chicago and Houston. The airline recently asked employees to take a pay cut to avoid furloughs, for the first time in their near 50-year history.
Southwest Airlines just sent 6,828 workers WARN notices after it couldn't come to an agreement. The agreement was with employees to take a pay cut to avoid furloughs. Ramp workers and flight attendants are among the most impacted workgroup. There are over 4,000 WARN notices issued between them, reports Business Insider. Workgroups that accept Southwest's proposed temporary pay cuts will be exempt from any furlough. Even still, nearly 7,000 Southwest Airlines employees are facing furlough in the new year.

Passengers looking to avoid the jet will be allowed to make free changes, but Southwest says it reserves the right to use the Max for any flight.
All 11 major US airlines are participating in Black Friday this year. Flyers can get the jump on deals for 2021 travel, according to Business Insider. Those not offering discounted flights have sale prices or bonuses when purchasing points or miles. International flight deals are largely missing as restrictions hinder where Americans can travel. It will be difficult to know when Americans will be allowed to return to international traveling. With Americans ignoring the advice of medical leaders on COVID-19, it may be a while.
