Yeah, Delta Airlines is pulling back on its growth plans for the second half of 2025, citing, quote, broad economic uncertainty. What? Translation, bookings aren't coming in quite as strong as expected, especially from cost-conscious travelers and cautious corporations.

So the airline is withdrawing its financial forecast for 2025, lowering revenue projections for this quarter. and reducing some of the capacity growth they had planned in the second half of 2025.

Interesting. And we'll have to keep an eye on whether other airlines follow Delta's lead. But for now, it is a reminder that the skies aren't just shaped by jet fuel and weather. They're shaped by Wall Street, Washington, and global confidence, too.

Now, what about the listeners who are thinking, wait, flying still feels expensive? You know, I get that base fares are down, but airlines are really leaning into those ancillary fees. You know, the bag fees, the seat selection charges, the boarding zone upgrades, all those extras that are not factored into the sticker price.

All right, well, Megan, I'm packing my own free checked bags to go back behind the scenes so you and Sally can talk weddings and how to pay for them, both as the happy couple and as friends and family celebrating the big day. Yeah, Tess, are you going to any weddings this year? No, but I am heading this week, in fact, to one of the most romantic places on the planet, Paris. Does that count?
