Flights can be expensive, confusing, frustrating, and exhausting all at once. From finding a flight to book to navigating the airport to boarding the plane, to FINALLY arriving at your destination and finding your luggage at baggage claim — it’s a big deal that consumes a lot of time and money.
Since the pandemic, flights have grown even more frustrating and expensive for many, with travel mandates, increased ticket prices, and limited airline and airport staff. One of the worst situations to date was Southwest’s cancelation of thousands of flights in December 2022, which they ultimately admitted was due to a lack of staffing and resources that led to unpreparedness in winter weather. But now, another huge problem may be coming soon.
