SWOOP allows free emotional baggage
SWOOP is an ultra-low-cost airline in Canada that charge for bags. They ran a campaign that highlighted their bag fee, while declaring that "emotional baggage" is free!And it’s a good thing – because don’t we all have a bit more of that coming out of the pandemic? Especially while travelling, where we’re all a bit out of practice, it can be stressful at the best times, and air travel seems more emotionally charged than ever.
We know everyone has a lot of feels when travelling. and while checked and carry-on still come at a fee, your emotional baggage is always free. Learn more at https://t.co/tyZesKAiwl pic.twitter.com/JjwACnb3G6
