The escape is carefully planned.
Southwest Airlines’ Sip and Ship program is a welcome amenity for wine enthusiasts, allowing them to bring home a case of wine as a souvenir. The program is likely to be popular among travelers visiting West Coast wine country. Alaska Airlines’ Wine Flies Free program has been in place since 2007 and includes 32 West Coast cities, offering a similar benefit to its passengers. Both programs require wine to be properly packaged and checked in at the counter. The trip promises a break from the usual checked bag fees, but with a twist: you have to be willing to share your wine with the airline.
