Southwest Airlines is ending a popular perk, two free checked bags, and other amenities for low-cost fliers. Mario Tama/Getty Images The long-running "bags fly free" perk Southwest Airlines was known for is no more. Starting Wednesday, May 28, you'll be charged $35 for your first checked bag on Southwest flights and $45 for the second. This marks the first time the airline is charging for checked bags in over 50 years. However, if you're an elite member, you'll still get two bags covered. If

I've got a box of Ziploc bags in my cabinet, and I'm looking at them completely differently now that S.C. Johnson, the maker of Ziploc, is facing a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit says that the marketing that Ziploc storage bags are "suitable for freezer use" and "microwave safe" is misleading because the bags are made from polyethylene and polypropylene. These types of plastics are known to release microplastics into foods when exposed to extreme temperatures, something that is not mentioned

Honorable Mentions There are so many coffee subscriptions out there, and honestly, a lot of them are very good. This list would need to be three times as long to capture every one of them at the least! I have way more subscriptions I've loved than I have space to talk about them, so here I've gathered some past picks that we here at WIRED like; some of these provide very specific services too.

Eggs aren’t the only things people will be hunting for at Trader Joe’s this Easter. Shoppers will also be flooding the aisles to track down the pastel-hued miniature tote bags the grocer released earlier this month. But if you don’t snatch one in stores, good luck tracking one down for a reasonable price. The canvas tote bags, which are sold in stores for $2.99, have quickly flown off of shelves and are being sold on resale sites for close to $2,000. This month’s edition of the 11-by-13 tote ba

I remember the day: a sinewy bicycle messenger skillfully weaved through honking automobiles and came to a stop at the traffic light in front of me. But instead of dropping a foot, he balanced high above his fixed-gear pedals for nearly a minute, his crossbody bag bulging against the urgent deliveries within. That was ‘90s San Francisco

I’ve described one of Waterfield’s earlier backpacks as a mini-Tardis, as it carries way more inside than you’d ever expect from the compact form factor, and that’s even more true of the latest Shinjuku Backpack. It looks like a slim backpack suitable for a MacBook, charger, and a few other bits and pieces, but the beautifully-organized layout means it’s surprisingly capacious … Look & feel The bag is made from waxed canvas, a tough and highly water-resistant fabric, with leather side-panels

I will use a carry-on for the rest of my life. Last summer, I had an epically bad experience with checking bags on a family vacation at the worst airport in the world. This airport is Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia. (Never going there again! See ya, Dulles!) After waiting in innumerable long, confusing lines with big bags and small children, watching my husband sprint around in vain attempts to figure out some mysterious shortcut, I made a solemn vow to never, ever check a bag

Tote bags have come a long way from their humble beginnings. The word tote, meaning “to carry by hand,” has been around for centuries, but the bag as we know it didn’t emerge until 1944 when L.L.Bean debuted the Bean Ice Carrier: a double-handled canvas bag designed to lug ice blocks. Fabricated from the double-layered material used in conveyor belts, its oatmeal-colored shape could bear up to 500 pounds of weight—ultimately solidifying the tote’s status in the pantheon of carryalls. You need a
