Southwest Airlines faced strong backlash online after sharing notices that urged passengers not to stand before the plane had fully stopped. The airline stood by its policy on the rule but met with angry responses from travelers and consumer advocacy groups.
Meanwhile, another disturbance occurred in South Florida as gunfire in Miami-Dade County left one person wounded in the city’s southwest district. On another front, payment firm Klarna revealed it would now allow users book Southwest flights through its U.S. travel service.
