We're starting this week's episode with some bad news about Southwest Airlines. Amid rumors and internal announcements that the airline would make some cuts, they announced pretty massive service cuts to service from Atlanta. These airports will soon no longer see service from Southwest out of Atlanta:

  • Cleveland
  • Fort Lauderdale
  • Fort Myers, Florida
  • Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina
  • Jackson, Mississippi
  • Jacksonville, Florida
  • Louisville, Kentucky
  • Memphis
  • Miami
  • Milwaukee
  • Oklahoma City
  • Omaha
  • Philadelphia
  • Richmond, Virginia
  • Sarasota, Florida

We interrupt this somber news day to talk about our friend Michael Trager's event ZorkFest. Not only is ZorkFest a great event to learn about travel AND how to play the Vegas status game, it's also where Richard and Ed first connected (no matter how much Richard says otherwise). If you want to register, we have two discount codes you can use:

Code "pizzalate88" gets you $50 off a ZorkFest ticket

Use code "wish" to have Trager donate $88 to Make a Wish Nevada on your behalf.

And, we end the show on a sad note, talking about how Southwest's new assigned seating will work. It's about the worst of the possible scenarios we contemplated a few weeks ago.
