Alaska Air Brings Back Annual Profit Outlook on Improved Demand

Alaska Air Group Inc. provided a new profit outlook for the year following an upturn in demand from business travelers who set aside trips early in the year on concerns over possible tariffs and worsening inflation. Average fares and revenue have improved in recent bookings at both Alaska and its Hawaiian Airlines unit, leading to a 2025 adjusted profit outlook of more than $3.25 a share, the carrier said Wednesday in a statement that also included second-quarter financial results.

You Can Now Pre-Order A Switch 2 Bundle With ‘Pokémon Legends: Z-A'

Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Nintendo's Switch 2 console launched last month in two distinct purchasing configurations: One was a vanilla base package, priced at $449.99, which only contained the device itself and no extras. The second option was a bundle that contained the Switch 2, plus a digital copy of Mario Kart World. I'm sure the base offering will stick around for the foreseeable future, but it seems there's already another unique bundle on the horizon, perhaps deploying to replace the current Mario Kart World variant. Nintendo has announced that you can now pre-order a brand new first-party Starter (apropos, given the pack-in software here) kit: A shiny Switch 2 with a fresh copy of the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Switch 2 Edition. The bundle is priced at $499.99, just like the MKW version, and is due to release alongside the new Pokémon game on October 16. Interestingly, Z-A is simultaneously launching on the legacy Switch, but apparently there isn't an OLED or Lite bundle arriving for either. It's not like the Switch needs any more damn sales, however. Still, I do worry about the performance of this last-gen version, given the track record of Pokémon titles on the Switch 1.

That said, you're getting a discount with the bundle, seeing as Pokémon Legends: Z-A is separately priced at $69.99. You're saving $10 less than with the Mario Kart World bundle, though, which is currently going for $79.99. But it's better than nothing. From a financial perspective, I think these bundles are great, but I do wish Nintendo would make the consoles themselves more compelling. At the end of the day, you're really just buying a standard Switch 2 and saving some money on a single game. It would be cool if these systems boasted limited edition paint-jobs to match the particular game they're shipped with. Perhaps a rainbow, Earth-themed Switch 2 for Mario Kart World, or a Switch 2 with a Poké Ball aesthetic for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. We'll no doubt see special edition Switch 2 consoles down the road, though. I'd have considered pre-ordering this new bundle had I not literally snagged a Mario Kart World edition of the Switch 2 on Target's website late last night. That said, you can reserve the Pokémon edition from the My Nintendo Store and various other retailers today.

Sydney Sweeney Just Made Rainbow Sherbet The Hottest Lip Flavor Of The Summer

just scooped up the summer with the season's most unexpected (and delicious) beauty collab. The "Euphoria" star and LANEIGE Global Ambassador has never been shy about her love for Baskin-Robbins' iconic Rainbow Sherbet ice cream, and now, her two favorite brands are teaming up for a treat you can't eat but will definitely want to try. Sydney Sweeney's new LANEIGE x Baskin-Robbins Rainbow Sherbet Lip Sleeping Mask is the ultimate mashup of skincare and dessert, and it is available now. Sydney Sweeney's Sweetest Collab Yet Inspired by Sydney's childhood favorite flavor, the dreamy new product features LANEIGE's first-ever 'marbled' lip mask technology, a triple swirl of Orange, Pineapple, and Raspberry scents that smell as tangy and refreshing as a scoop of the real thing. It's the brand's latest innovation following their viral swirl formula that took social media by storm. This ultra-hydrating lip treatment doesn't just smell amazing; it delivers 8 hours of moisture to keep your lips juicy and nourished while you sleep. And yes, it looks just as cute as it sounds. The launch comes hot on the heels of Baskin-Robbins' 'Sweet on Sydney' menu, which includes Sydney's Signature Scoop and Sydney's Signature Fizz, both of which highlight her go-to Rainbow Sherbet flavor. With the new collab, fans can now enjoy Sydney's favorite treat by the scoop, sip, or swipe. LANEIGE's Bouncy & Firm Serum Delivers Plump, Radiant Skin Back in April, LANEIGE kicked off the season with the launch of its newest skincare innovation, the Bouncy & Firm Serum. Retailing for $45 and available at Sephora, this collagen-boosting powerhouse is designed to visibly firm, plump, and re-energize the skin for a smoother, more radiant complexion. Infused with the brand's proprietary Peony and Collagen Complex and RE.D Flavonoid, the formula supports natural collagen production while delivering a surge of hydration. Tiny radiance-boosting capsules burst on application, working to soften fine lines and give skin that dewy, lit-from-within glow. With its lightweight texture and glow-inducing results, it's no wonder this serum has quickly earned a spot in the skincare routines of glow-getters everywhere. Sydney Sweeney Scoops Up A Sweet Collab With Baskin-Robbins Sydney Sweeney's latest collaboration with Baskin-Robbins is a full-circle moment for the "Euphoria" star. Reflecting on her personal connection to the beloved ice cream brand, Sweeney shared in a press release, 'Baskin-Robbins has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It's where a lot of great memories were made, and I still find myself going back pretty often.' Her favorite flavor? Rainbow sherbet. And now, it's front and center in the campaign. 'Rainbow sherbet has always been a favorite, so getting to see it featured like this feels really special,' she added. The nostalgic collab blends Sweeney's playful charm with a splash of sweetness, making it a perfect summertime treat for fans. Dr. Squatch Releases Limited-Edition Soap Inspired By Sweeney's Viral Bathtub Ad And while LANEIGE is bringing dessert-inspired hydration to your skincare shelf, another beauty brand recently leaned all the way into the bizarre. Earlier this year, Sydney Sweeney had fans doing a double-take after Dr. Squatch released a limited-edition soap cheekily named 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss.' The collaboration came after her viral bathtub moment in a Dr. Squatch commercial, and yes, the soap actually claims to include a 'touch' of Sweeney's bathwater as a 'narrative element' in the ingredients list. Described as 'a perfect combination of the two best places on the planet: The outdoors and Sydney Sweeney's bathtub,' the bar features a woodsy scent dubbed 'morning wood' and includes notes of pine, Douglas fir, and earthy moss. The bold product, which sold out almost immediately, shows just how far brands are willing to go to blend celebrity allure with personal care products, while proving that when it comes to marketing, nothing is off the table or out of the tub. Sydney Sweeney Gets A Lingerie Empire Sydney Sweeney is adding fashion mogul to her growing resume. The "Euphoria" star is reportedly launching her own lingerie line, and she's got some serious power players backing her. According to The Sun, the new venture is being supported by none other than Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, along with private equity firm Coatue. With buzz already building, insiders say the move could net the Emmy-nominated actress around $10 million in the next couple of years, and potentially double that if the brand catches fire. While details on the collection are still under wraps, Sweeney's signature blend of confidence and glam make her a natural fit for the lingerie market. And with Bezos in her corner, it looks like Sydney is ready to dominate more than just Hollywood. Solve the daily Crossword
