Valhalla on Wings? Southwest Eyes Lounges and Longships for High-Flying Vikings!

The Gods Demand Comfort!

Hark shield maidens and warriors! Ragnar Lothbrok speaks! I hear tell that Southwest Airlines a flying machine for the masses is considering… *lounges*? By Odin's beard what sorcery is this? Are we to sip mead in padded halls before battle… I mean before boarding? Perhaps they'll even offer a horn of ale with every ticket. Now that's a journey fit for a king... or at least a Jarl!

Premium Seating? More Like a Throne!

And what's this about 'premium seating'? Do they plan to build thrones upon these metal birds? Will they have Valkyries fanning us with eagle wings? If so I say 'Skål!' and bring forth the finest furs. Comfort is good but the allfather Odin valued bravery and wisdom above all. But hey if there is a little comfort to be had on these journeys who am I to argue? This is definitely worth plotting a course to these new horizons.

Longships to Distant Lands?

Long haul international flights you say? Could it be that Southwest seeks to sail the skies to distant shores like my own voyages to England? Perhaps they'll land in Paris! I was there once you know; it was quite the... experience. Lagertha would not have approved. But beware! New lands mean new foes and new opportunities for pillaging... err I mean 'business partnerships'.

Farewell Open Seating? A Viking Horde No More!

They speak of abandoning open seating. This is a blow! No longer will we rush like a horde of Vikings to claim the best spots? Will we lose the thrill of the boarding battle? Perhaps this 'transformation' is just a clever ruse. But in all honesty who really liked that madness? I know that I do not.

The Allure of Luxury: A Siren's Song?

Nashville a place they say desires luxury. Do these Southerners fancy themselves kings? Do they expect carpets of silk? Perhaps they've heard tales of Kattegat's grandeur. Well let them have their lounges and their 'first class' so long as they remember the value of a good raid... I mean a good bargain!

A Boeing to Europe? Improbable

A Boeing to Europe is as laughable as building a great hall in the sky. They speak of new aircraft. Perhaps they should consider crafting longships with wings! Imagine the sight of a Viking fleet soaring across the Atlantic axes glinting in the sun. Now that would be a worthy sight for the gods. But for now this is a path they should consider with the outmost caution.
