Southwest Airlines is getting airport lounges for the first time in its 55-year history. ✈️ The first four are under construction in Austin, Baltimore, Honolulu and Nashville, with guests expected in late 2027. At least seven more are planned. Southwest is building them with Chase, in the style of the Sapphire lounges. The catch: the only confirmed way in so far is a new premium Southwest card from Chase, launching in 2027. No word yet on A-List access, day passes or guest rules.
Here's everything we know so far, plus where Southwest flyers can relax in those four airports today 👇

More options for traveling between Canada and Europe could be on the way. 🇨🇦🇮🇸
Icelandair and WestJet’s planned codeshare would offer single-booking journeys, through check-in and baggage transfers across their networks.
Their June announcement targeted fall 2026 bookings, subject to regulatory approvals. We explain the proposed benefits and what travelers should check before booking.

A new chapter for Icelandair’s fleet. ✈️
The airline’s July agreement covers six leased Airbus A320neo aircraft, scheduled to enter service before summer 2028. They’re part of a broader renewal program that includes plans to end Boeing 757 and 767 passenger operations from January 2027.
Here’s how the aircraft—and the timelines—fit together.

Icelandair passenger growth 🇮🇸

More travelers are flying to and from Iceland—but fewer are connecting through it.

Icelandair’s August 2026 figures show an 11% rise in passengers heading to Iceland and a 12% increase in those departing, while overall passenger numbers fell 5%.

We break down the summer trends and the role of August’s solar eclipse.

Behavior could be due to frustration with an airline not adopting Starlink!

100+ people. 80 minutes. And they weren’t waiting for TSA. 😳

They were waiting to get INTO Delta’s “premium” lounge at LaGuardia. The line got so long it stretched all the way to the airport chapel. Travelers joked they’d find more peace and quiet praying than inside the club.

The craziest part? This is Delta’s BIGGEST Sky Club in the entire country. 35,000 square feet. 700+ seats. Still full. 🤯

If you’re paying hundreds a year for an Amex Platinum or Delta Reserve for “lounge access,” you need to read this. (Tip #4 could save you an hour next time you fly out of LGA.) 👇

JetBlue just had one of the strangest weeks in its history. ✈️👀

✅ Won 22 new LaGuardia slots from bankrupt Spirit — a $58.5M deal the FAA just approved
❌ Every single JetBlue flight on Oct 13 & 14 briefly vanished from its system, and some passengers were rebooked without asking
🤐 Its planned Fort Lauderdale–Caracas route quietly disappeared before tickets ever went on sale

Flying JetBlue next week? Check your booking NOW.

🚨 Missiles. Explosions. Flights grounded.

The Houthis say they just hit Riyadh's main airport — the 3rd Saudi airport attack in 3 days. 150+ flights canceled, Lufthansa & Air India pulling out.

And that viral "strike" video? It may not be what you think. 👀

@TheAviationBeat That will be cancelled 100%

Flying Asiana or holding Asiana Club miles? Mark your calendar. ✈️

Asiana leaves Star Alliance on Dec. 16, and Korean Air takes it over on Dec. 17. Star Alliance award tickets on Asiana have to be flown by then, and some programs need you to book and fly as early as Oct. 31. Asiana Club miles move to Korean Air’s SKYPASS at 1:1, and your status carries over too.

We cover which lounges you can use at Incheon now and what’s changing.

Are you moving your miles to SKYPASS, or using them up first?

Qassim, Taif, Yanbu and Tabuk are back on the Qatar Airways map, each twice a week from Oct. 25. There are no lounges at the Saudi end, so save your lounge time for Doha. Full schedule inside.

Two Amex Centurion rules catch people out: your guest has to be on your flight, and on a layover you can’t get in until 5 hours before your connection. Here’s the full set of rules in one place.

The two-story Boston Logan Centurion Lounge, with an outdoor terrace, isn’t due until 2029. Charlotte gets a smaller Sidecar lounge and DFW grows by half, both in 2027. Here’s where to wait now.
