Don’t look now, but budget airlines are getting … nicer.
For years, low-cost carriers have offered travelers a way to save money on air travel. But let’s be honest — you kind of knew what you were getting: lots of fees, not a lot of legroom and not much that you’d describe as bougie.
Southwest Airlines is dropping all sorts of hints about its bougiest idea yet. Would you believe this is the same Southwest that used to let you hunt around for your favorite seat on board? (Key words: used to).
Finally, some news you’re first to hear about as a TPG Daily Newsletter subscriber: JetBlue’s second-ever airport lounge is opening this month in Boston! I visited the first location in New York a few months ago and was (mostly) impressed.
Safe to say, these aren’t the low-cost airlines of 15 years ago. And if the price is right, they might be worth another shot — even if you’ve typically stuck with the bigger carriers.
