Local grandma accidentally flies to Albuquerque instead of bingo night, thanks to southwest airlines new routes. AITA for laughing? TL;DR - my aunt booked a "direct" flight but southwest's new routes apparently think "direct" means "straight to the middle of nowhere with bonus turbulence." She missed her dabble, ended up in a chili cookoff, and now the whole family's blaming her for "not checking the fine print." Peak boomer energy.
