Southwest extended its schedule from early March to early April last week. Sure it included a new city — Knoxville — but the real news was buried in the weeds. Even though capacity is basically flat in March vs last year, the underlying schedule has changed somewhat dramatically. There are now four connecting hubs for the airline in the middle of the country, and they all work together.| Cranky Flier

I swear, it wasn't on purpose that I left Bryce Canyon to last among the Mighty 5 to visit; on my first trip to one of Utah's national parks – Zion in 2019 with my friend Marissa – the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel was closed. This tunnel, which began construction in the late 1920s, helped connect Zion and Bryce Canyon and aided the latter in its effort to become a national park. Today, it's common to visit both parks on a single trip – when the tunnel is closed, that's hard to do...| Valerie & Valise

July 29 marked the beginning of the end for Southwest’s bingo boarding system.

I was surprised to learn that I am not alone in preferring Capitol Reef above Utah's other Mighty 5 parks; it is less visited than all but Canyonlands, and doesn't ever feel crowded even on busy summer days – at least not the same way you might feel crowded in Arches, Bryce Canyon, and Zion! Don't be surprised if Capitol Reef's combination of fewer crowds, jaw-dropping scenery, fascinating geology, dynamic hiking, and delicious fruit pies win you over after you visit, too...| Valerie & Valise
Ask anyone who's been, and they have a favorite among the five National Parks in Utah (that would be Arches, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Zion, just to remind you).

When it comes to Utah's National Parks, it's easy to understand why they're called the Mighty 5. From Arches eponymous formations to Zion's riotous red canyons, it's hard to believe there can be anywhere so beautiful in the world. This is undoubtedly why Utah ranks #3 for the most national park visitors in the country (after North Carolina (Great Smoky Mountains) and California with its 9 parks)...| Valerie & Valise

Southwest was a news machine last week. After posting a bad quarter with an even worse outlook, it announced redeyes and most importantly, the introduction of assigned seating along with an extra legroom section. This is all good — well, except for the current results and outlook — but we still don’t know much about how this is going to be implemented. Let’s talk about that.| Cranky Flier
On July 19, the world learned the name CrowdStrike. That day, the company had uploaded a corrupted update to its clients’ computers that use the Windows operating system, and those computers immediately turned into bricks. This instantly made CrowdStrike the villain of every news article, but as the days went on, it was Delta that took over that role. Now, as Delta’s operations have returned to normal, we can look back and see… what a terrible job this airline did navigating the crisis....| Cranky Flier

The news that activist investor Elliott has taken a greater than 10 percent stake in Southwest Airlines has been the talk of the town this week.

There is no LUV for Southwest Airlines management this week as activist investor Elliott has taken more than a 10 percent stake in the airline and wants to fire Chairman Gary Kelly and CEO Bob Jordan. If you thought Carl Icahn’s investment in JetBlue was going to be a big fight, you ain’t seen nothing yet. This is going to get ugly. So far, I am not impressed by Elliott’s take, but if this does push Southwest to act more quickly, then everyone wins.| Cranky Flier
