southwest airlines new routes adds direct flights to a dystopian hellscape, and gen z is actually booking tickets AITA? TL;DR: Southwest announced they're expanding to some random towns nobody asked for, and now people are lining up to pay $49 for their next vacation to Bumblefuck, Nebraska. i guess the only thing cheaper than the fare is the existential dread they'll get when they realize their destination is a parking lot with a waffle house. real hot take: they're probably just trying to distract us from the fact they still haven't figured out how to keep your bag from teleporting to the void. you're all just a bunch of NPCs chasing nostalgia points for "budget travel." enjoy your layover in the underworld, i guess.
