Southwest Airlines Just Announced New Routes That Basically Connect Every Major City With Cancún and a Waffle House
In a move that has the internet equal parts thrilled and confused, Southwest Airlines has unveiled a massive expansion of its route map, adding direct flights to places like Bozeman, Montana, and Tulum, Mexico—all while conveniently skipping any airport with a functioning charging port. The ironic twist? The airline’s ‘new routes’ are cleverly just the same old connecting flights, but with a $50 ‘Mood Lighting’ surcharge for the honor of being delayed in Denver. Meme historians are already calling it a masterpiece of corporate gaslighting: we finally get nonstop to paradise, but only if you’re willing to trade three legroom inches and a bag of peanuts for the privilege.
