Southwest Airlines has announced a significant change to its in-flight service, stating that cabin service will be concluded earlier to minimize the risk of injuries among passengers and crew. This decision comes in response to rising concerns about in-flight turbulence. Starting next week, flight attendants will be required to prepare for landing at an altitude of 18,000 feet, which is a shift from the previous requirement of 10,000 feet. The changes are aimed at enhancing safety and ensuring that passengers stow away laptops and other items before turbulence can occur. Reports indicate that this alteration in service procedures will affect all travelers on Southwest Airlines, highlighting a broader commitment to passenger safety.
