I was filming something at Ontario International Airport for the Cranky Network Awards this week when I stumbled across this ramen vending machine.

This may be an exclusive, but it isn’t a surprise. As soon as the shackles are off and Southwest is able to legally fly to another Metroplex airport in 2025, I’d expect to see it happen fast. After all, Southwest may be more convenient to those in Dallas itself, but there are plenty of people in other parts of the Metroplex who don’t want to schlep to Love Field.
