Labor Pains - Get in Southwest Airlines Flight

If you're having labor pains, hurry up and go to Amarillo. You may get four free tickets on Southwest Airlines.

Southwest is celebrating its 30th anniversary in Amarillo on Friday, and said it would give the four free tickets to anywhere it flies to the first baby born Friday at Amarillo's North West Texas Health Care System or Baptist -- St. Anthony's Health System hospitals.

Southwest says anyone wearing yellow at the airport gets a free complimentary adult beverage, although 7-year-old in a Spongebob T-shirt probably isn't going to talk them out of a beer.

Vietnam Airlines resumed flights to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport

Vietnam Airlines resumed flights to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport after 10 days during which protesters had blocked the airport. According to the carrier’s representative office in Bangkok, the first flight carrying more than 20 Vietnamese passengers who had been stranded in Thailand during that nation’s recent political unrest had left the airport for Viet Nam.

Flights from Ha Noi and HCM City were to land in Bangkok, reported the office. The head of the office, Nguyen Khoi Nguyen, said Vietnam Airlines would continue to operate two flights per day between Ha Noi, HCM City and Bangkok.

Suvarnabhumi International Airport, one of the leading hubs in Southeast Asia, opened its doors again last Friday after 10 days of being brought to a standstill by Thailand’s political crisis.
