Southwest Airlines Stops Serving Peanuts On Flights


Your travel4seniors.com editor has enjoyed flying SW for more than 50 years. And one airborne ritual has always been trying to pry open those little foil bags to get the few peanuts inside.

Now, because of frequent problems by passengers who are allergic to peanuts, SW won’t ever serve them again. Of course, there will be other, allergy-free snacks available, hopefully easier to unwrap.

RCL Quantum of the Seas Intros Robot Bartender PDF Print E-mail


The combo of mechanical arms are called N1-C and B1-O, sort of reminders of C-3PO and T2-D2 from Star Wars. And maybe an earlier movie robot, too.

They serve on the Royal Caribbean Line’s newest and most technically-advanced cruise ship in its aptly-named Bionic Bar. After you belly up, whether you order a Bloody Mary or Scotch on the rocks, a robot will have the drink in front of you in a quick minute or so.

It all sounds great to us, and if we’re lucky enough to sail on the new RCL ship, we just have one question: How much do you tip a robot bartender? Further, what do you use as a tip? Are three screws, two wing nuts and a bolt enough?
