Southwest, Wanna Rent a Cash Cube for Us?
Southwest Airlines may be the only airline without a PR problem right now. So why are they additionally showering their passengers with cash -- literally?
Southwest rented a cash cube for a party last week at New Orleans' Louis Armstrong International Airport, celebrating 30 years of service at the Big Easy. And they announced it in a tantalizingly 2.0 way -- by live-blogging and tweeting the cube's arrival (with a picture too!)
Sadly, we think the Cash Cube was just in place for the day. Although, in this economy it would be great to keep it running for the whole year. Besides, this could benefit Southwest tremendously. If people win money from the Southwest cash cube, they might spend their winnings on another Southwest flight. It could be like a mini-Las Vegas operation going on. Think about it S-dubs.
While you're following Southwest on Twitter, you should follow us too -- we might not shower you with cash but we'll keep you informed on sales that could save you some!

Airport WiFi: No More Singin' The Blues in New Orleans
Contribute your airport wireless report by leaving it in comments, uploading your airport photo to Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or via email, and we will add it to our U.S. Airport Wireless map.
The airport WiFi news around here just won't stop--and we love it. Today, kudos go out to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International, which has seriously stepped up its wireless game with new, airport-wide service.
Previously, there were a couple hotspots in the airport available for a fee, and the only free access was outside the secure area. With the new $400,000 system, you can get online anywhere except at the ticket counters and in the baggage claim area.
MSY may decide to charge for internet access in the future, but for now the network is wide open. You'll find the best signal strength in the seating area across from the House of Blues and Creole Kitchen stores, near Sonic and Popeye's restaurants and in Concourse D.
Have an airport WiFi experience to share? Let's hear it.
