In a different context, Robert Slawsby (@SportsTvBubba) expressed dissatisfaction with Southwest Airlines regarding passenger behavior onboard: "Go ahead, pursue your deviant lifestyle within the confines of your own home, but no one should have to see this in public. #barefeetinplanes whose onboard with this? @SouthwestAir not cool!"

American Airlines recently announced that it will become the first airline to offer flights to all 50 U.S. states on May 20, 2025. Ishrion Aviation (@IshrionA) shared details on June 30, 2024: "NEW: American Airlines is set to become the only (and first-ever?) airline to offer flights to all 50 U.S. states—but just for one day."

Emirates has introduced an exclusive deal offering Dom Perignon onboard in first class and will add special editions through September and later in November and December.
