@kpottermn Agree! Took me seconds last night!

I feared a wrath of derision when I confessed my cheesy souvenir habit. But hundreds of you flooded my inbox with tales of your souvenir collections, writes @DawnGilbertson. 🔗 https://t.co/aU36WRfG8N

A proposal by Ryanair’s CEO to stop or limit morning airport alcohol sales has landed him in the crosshairs of a nation. “It’s like a nanny state.” https://t.co/EOjr1me1aN

@ArashMarkazi Similarly, I seriously checked @JSX to Scottsdale when I was faced with a a $400 one way @SouthwestAir flight from Vegas to PHX a couple weeks ago.

Casino giants on the Las Vegas Strip are trying all-inclusive packages this summer to lure back visitors. Do the new deals bring value back to Vegas?

@DawnGilbertson booked last-minute, all-inclusive packages to find out.

Here are highlights: 🔗 https://t.co/XraoJjovXP

Spirit’s collapse left dozens of bright yellow jets scattered around the country. Picking them up is the job of repo men with a special set of skills. https://t.co/oBsj0NLQrZ

Even if you never flew Spirit, you benefited from its presence, and you’re going to miss it https://t.co/aATjtrP3UW

Rest easy, Big Banana.

My heart is with all the Spirit employees who are having to endure this. Just awful.

[Dawn Gilbertson @DawnGilbertson]

Anyone who is cheering this does not realize the significant role the airline has played over the years in keeping airfares in check on so many routes.

Make sure you are using official channels to talk with an airline and not an impostor, @DawnGilbertson writes https://t.co/I7vRCxg2Tn

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Exclusive: A group of budget airlines including Frontier and Avelo is seeking $2.5 billion in government assistance in exchange for warrants that could convert into equity stakes in the companies https://t.co/IVVz7QBeeU

[Brian Schwartz @schwartzbWSJ]

SCOOP: The Trump administration is in talks with other budget airlines about a combined $2.5 BILLION lifeline. Frontier and Avelo are among the airlines who recently made this pitch to Trump admin officials.

That detailed proposal has been brought to the White House and comes as the admin is nearing an up to $500 million lifeline with Spirit Airlines

Travel columnist @DawnGilbertson snagged a screaming deal on her flight to Italy. Then the airline canceled it—in a case of a mistake fare. 🔗 https://t.co/KhJg70Hx6w

[Dawn Gilbertson @DawnGilbertson]

Looks like Spirit is going to get a badly needed lifeline. That’s good news for travelers who like cheap fares.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Exclusive: The Trump administration is nearing a rescue deal for Spirit Airlines that would loan the discount carrier as much as $500 million. https://t.co/pbcLuEwNyQ

[Dawn Gilbertson @DawnGilbertson]

Thanks for all of your input, Kyle!

[Kyle Potter @kpottermn]

Awesome story by @DawnGilbertson in @WSJ on the wild, as-low-as $410 Turkish biz class mistake fares to Europe.

Sucks that airlines have the leeway to cancel fares but the track record of honoring their errors is shockingly good.

Onto the next one!

Buried in the fine print: A-List Preferred members will now board in a new group BEFORE Group 1.

[Dawn Gilbertson @DawnGilbertson]

.@SouthwestAir is listening to frequent fliers’ gripes. Another change to boarding starts April 30, per this email I just received as an A-List member.
