"Southwest Airlines' Inclusive Policy: Free Full Rows for 'Passengers of Size'"

Southwest Airlines is being praised on TikTok for its policy that allows "passengers of size" to request complimentary seats to accommodate their girth. Customers whose bodies extend past the armrest are entitled to an extra seat, and Southwest is one of the few airlines to offer this service for free. Passengers can either request an additional seat at the departure gate or purchase extra seats in advance and receive a refund afterward. TikTokers have shared videos of themselves successfully obtaining their extra seats, applauding Southwest for making travel more accessible and comfortable for all.

Airbnb shifts focus to affordable room rentals and payment options.

Airbnb is launching a new offering called Airbnb Rooms, which allows guests to rent a single room in the same house or apartment as their host at an average price of $67 per night. The move is a nod to Airbnb's beginnings and a recognition that renting an entire house is too expensive for many travelers, especially younger ones. The company is also making changes to its platform to address issues with high cleaning fees and onerous checkout tasks. CEO Brian Chesky believes the new offering will be especially popular with the next generation of travelers who want to pay less than $100 per night.
