American Airlines flight attendant reads out handwritten note from Meghan Markle after commercial trip
An American Airlines flight attendant has revealed the sweet note Meghan Markle had sent to the crew during her recent commercial flight.
Taking to TikTok, flight attendant Nina Vida read aloud the Duchess of Sussex's hand-written thank-you note after she and her co-workers expressed their delight at getting to serve the 'Suits' alum.
'You guys will not believe who I had on my flight, who I had a pleasure of serving,' Vida said in the video from her hotel room. 'The queen, the princess, the Duchess of Sussex.'

The air hostess gushed over how 'beautiful' the former actress was in person, adding that the 'Confessions of a Female Founder' podcast host was also 'so sweet.'
Vida explained that the crew received a response from Markle, 43, after they slipped her a hand-written note that read, 'It's a pleasure serving you! Love you real bad.'
They signed off their note from the 'AA girlies.'
Moments later, the crew received a small square napkin with a sweet message from the former working royal.
'Dear AA girlies, thank you for the love, hospitality and handwritten note — you know me well,' Markle wrote in return. 'All love right back to you.'
Vida then pointed out that the duchess signed off with 'Forever, Meg' — however eagle-eyed social media users pointed out that Markle instead wrote, 'As ever, Meg,' in a nod to her lifestyle company, As Ever.
Vida then dished on her brief exchange with Prince Harry's wife, saying the 'With Love, Meghan' Netflix star had complimented her manicure.

'No picture but I love a hand written note,' Vida captioned her now-viral TikTok video.
It wasn't long before fans of the duchess rushed to the comments section to react.
'That note!!! Laminate it, frame it, put it in a lock box at the bank! I would cherish it forever,' one person wrote.
Another added, 'This is unreal. Wow. You are so lucky!!'
A third penned, 'How does it feel to be living our dreams.The way I would have had to sneak a selfie or something lol,' while a fourth wrote, 'She flies commercial? wow walking the walk she talks!'
Markle's love of hand-written notes has been known for years.

Writing in her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig, years ago, the mom of two said 'handwritten notes are a lost art form.'
'The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special,' the keen calligrapher said at the time.

Summer in America: A Q3 U.S. Preview
Skift Take Welcome to the new U.S. airline industry. United is now friends with JetBlue. Southwest will now charge you for bags. United and American are both investing in Brazil. Delta is investing in Canada. But is this a new and improved U.S. airline industry? That will likely depend on what wins the race to the bottom: Demand, supply, or fuel costs? All three are declining, as we discuss in this week's feature story.

U.S. airlines made over $7.2 billion in checked bag fees in 2024
Checked bags are a big business for U.S. airlines, bringing in more than $7 billion in revenue last year, according to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The fees have brought more revenue to the airlines than it ever had prior to the pandemic, the data shows. Airlines began shifting their checked bag policy in recent years to keep up with what they say are rising operational costs, including higher prices for fuel and increased wages. Most recently, Southwest Airlines announced it will start charging $35 for the first checked bag — after more than 50 years of only charging for a third bag. Changes at Southwest came amid mounting pressure from activist investors to improve its financial performance. The airline in September predicted that new fees would lead to $1.5 billion a year in revenue. Last year, JetBlue brought Uber-style surge pricing to bag-check fees, making it more costly to check luggage during peak travel periods. American Airlines also increased its fees in 2024 from $30 to $35 for the first checked bag. Breaking down the revenue from checked bags for U.S. airlines Checked bags brought in about $7.27 billion in revenue last year for Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, American, Breeze Airways, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue, Silver Airways, Southwest, Spirit Airlines, Sun Country and United Airlines, according to the government's data that was last updated on May 6. That is up from $7.07 billion in 2023, Bureau of Transportation Statistics' data shows. In 2022, U.S. airlines made over $6.7 billion in bag fees, another major jump from the $5.3 billion made in 2021. American, Delta and United — the three largest U.S. airlines — made over $1 billion each last year on checked bags — and their revenue from it has been climbing since the COVID-19 pandemic halted air travel in 2020. When the pandemic hit, total checked bag revenue plummeted to $2.84 billion in 2020, down from $5.76 billion in 2019.

Sydney Sweeney's New Soap Collab Will Be Made With 'Her Actual Bathwater'
Men like Sydney Sweeney. How much do they like her? Well, men's personal hygiene company Dr. Squatch is making a new soap with a secret ingredient: Sydney Sweeney's actual bathwater. For real. 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad … so we kept it,' Sweeney (Euphoria, The White Lotus season one) posted to her Instagram account on Thursday. Called 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss,' the bricc (what Dr. Squatch calls its soap bars) is a 'very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater,' Sweeney wrote. More from The Hollywood Reporter Sydney Sweeney, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, Michelle Yeoh Films Sell Wide at Cannes Sydney Sweeney Teases "Unhinged" 'Euphoria' Season 3 Sydney Sweeney, Halsey Get Violent While Hunting Down a Rare Artifact in 'Americana' Trailer Why do this? Well, you know why: because men are gross. So now they can cleanse themselves — well, their skin at least — with saponified oils (of olive, sustainable palm and coconut), shea butter, natural fragrance, Sydney's bath water, sand, mica, kaolin clay and sea salt. God knows what else they'll do with it: Dr. Squatch called Sweeney's bathwater 'one of nature's finest aphrodisiacs.' Don't try to check us on that 'men are gross' thing. First of all, I'm a man and I'm gross. But more relevant here are the multiple stalker fan letters to Dr. Squatch asking for this exact product — and definitely asking for worse things. Here's a relatively tame one: Unfortunately, there's a lot more where that came from; swipe right on the post. Clearly, the personal-care company (and Sweeney, whom Dr. Squatch calls a 'legend' for this) are leaning in. Days ago, the collab was teased by a Dr. Squatch post that read: 'Wanna take a shower with Sydney Sweeney?' Well, come June 6, you can. Sort of. The medium grit bar soap has 'refreshing notes of pine, Douglas fir and earthy moss,' per the manufacturer. Naturally, Dr. Squatch named the scent 'morning wood.' Sydney's Bathwater Bliss is 'a perfect combination of the two best places on the planet: The outdoors and Sydney Sweeney's bathtub,' the company continued. It appears that 100 creeps lucky winners will get a bricc made with Sweeney's actual bathwater. (To win one, you have to be '18+.' This bath soap couldn't get pornier.) The rest of you can buy a bar next week for $8. The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Dr. Squatch and Sweeney's reps for more info.
