Kelsey Unpacked: What I’ve Learned Navigating Southwest’s New Changes (+ the Coveted Premium Pistachios!)

from Trip Tales | A Family Travel Podcast

Southwest’s new changes are here, and after several recent flights, I have thoughts. In this Kelsey Unpacked episode, I’m sharing my real-life experience navigating Southwest’s new world of seat assignments, boarding groups, overhead luggage crackdowns, baggage quirks, and yes… the coveted premium pistachios. As a family of 5 flying with points, Companion Passes, and multiple reservation numbers, I’ve learned that these changes can get complicated fast. I’m breaking down what I like, what has felt clunky, and the little things I’ve learned the hard way so you can be more prepared before your next Southwest flight.Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsey_gravesFollow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mskelseygravesJoin us in the Trip Tales Podcast Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1323687329158879
