Southwest Airlines faced strong backlash online after posting messages that urged passengers not to stand before the plane came to a complete halt. The airline stood by its policy on the rule but met with angry responses from flyers and traveler protection organizations.
Meanwhile, a separate incident unfolded in South Florida as gunfire in Miami-Dade County injured a victim in the area’s southwest section. In related news, payment firm Klarna revealed it would now allow users book Southwest flights in its American platform.
