VIDEO: Airline Passenger Wearing Thong Bikini Goes Viral | The Sunday Round-Up

The Sunday Round-Up | September 5, 2021

Good morning from Los Angeles! I hope you're having a great holiday weekend so far. I just spoke to my dad on FaceTime and he looks great. What a difference three weeks can make after a bout with COVID. I can't thank you enough for all of the love and support.
I'm thinking of visiting him this week. I also have airline credits I need to use by the end of the year. I need to fly a certain amount to keep my status and airfares just plummeted. Of course, I will wear a mask and avoid indoor gatherings. So I'm leaning towards surprising him this week. I'll let you know next week.
There's been a ton of travel news this week and I wrote a lot of tips so let's get right to it. Please scroll all the way down to see it all.
