Published Wed, 12 Mar 2025 23:52:35 GMT

The Broncos and Los Angeles Rams may have been on the practice field less than two hours whistle to whistle, but they got copious work Wednesday on the first of two joint practices at the Centura Health Training Center.On the eye test, Sean McVay’s team got the better of Sean Payton’s on Day 1, though work this time of year can be dangerous to bank too much on. A year ago on these same fields, the Broncos looked superior across the board to Mike McCarthy’s Cowboys. One of those teams went to the playoffs and the other fired its coach after 15 games, making an historically short tenure for Nathaniel Hackett.On this day, repetition ruled the day. The teams focused heavily on 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods by design.“We’ll have a lot of film to cover, obviously,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said. “I thought, overall — again, I’m on half the field – we got two real good special teams periods done, quite a bit of team work and finished with the two-minute drill. I would say, I don’t wan...

Southwest is limiting a service that lets passengers buy a better spot in the boarding line

Published Wed, 12 Mar 2025 23:52:35 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Southwest Airlines is changing its unusual boarding system by limiting the opportunity to pay an extra fee and jump ahead of other passengers in the race for the best seats.The airline said Wednesday that it has not dropped “EarlyBird” entirely from any flights, but it is “limiting the number of spots available for purchase on certain flights, routes, or days, as we work on product enhancements.” As a result, the airline said in a statement, the service “is unavailable for some customers looking to purchase it.”The perk starts at $15 but can be higher, depending on the length of the flight and demand for seats. Limiting the number of EarlyBird spots could push Southwest passengers into other options for moving up in the boarding line, including buying the highest-priced fare, called “Business Select,” which comes with a top-15 spot in line.The limits on EarlyBird took effect Aug. 15. A spokeswoman for the Dallas-bas...
