Southwest Airlines faced strong backlash online after sharing notices that told travelers not to stand before the plane came to a complete halt. The airline held firm on the rule but met with angry responses from travelers and traveler protection organizations.
Meanwhile, another disturbance occurred in South Florida as a shooting in Miami-Dade County injured a victim in the city’s southwest district. In related news, payment firm Klarna revealed it would now let customers book Southwest flights through its U.S. travel service.
