I'm learning to go slowly, not too fast too soon. It's probably the reason I got the fracture in the first place.

Split into Dutch Sint Maarten in the south and French Saint-Martin in the north, this Caribbean island offers a unique mix of cultural and historical influences in one effusively hospitable destination. St. Martin is one of the region's most accessible islands for travelers from the U.S., and numerous daily inter-island flights and ferries make it a popular stopover for people headed to Anguilla or to hidden gem islands like Saba and Sint Eustatius. Visitors will find stunning stretches of sandy coast, international flavors, and thrilling adventures from zip lining to shark diving as well as more relaxing things to do.

Greenland is currently making headlines, much to the chagrin of Greenlanders. U.S. President Donald Trump's ambition to seize this island, an autonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO founding member, has turned global attention to a corner of the planet they probably hadn't considered before, or to Wikipedia or AI tools, to find out who lives on that enormous white patch in a corner of the American continent, and how.

Running between New York City and Pittsburgh, Amtrak's Pennsylvanian route shows travelers a side of Pennsylvania most who fly or drive miss. Passengers aboard the train weave past rivers, tree-lined hills, Amish Country, and historic rail towns that rarely get the spotlight. It's less about getting somewhere fast and more about watching the landscape change mile by mile, from urban neighborhoods to the rolling Allegheny Mountains, without ever leaving the seat.

Spy thrillers have often included characters with multiple passports to evoke drama and suspense. The reality of having more than one passport is far tamer, but can help travelers navigate difficult visa situations and provide more flexibility for trips abroad. Even having a duplicate of a passport can be helpful if your primary passport is damaged, lost, or stolen. Here's everything travelers need to know about holding multiple passports, including how many you can have, how to obtain a second passport,

Passengers received printed menus ahead of the meal service, detailing mains and sides - including salmon - all served with real cutlery. It wasn't the usual "chicken or pasta," and the food tasted as good as it looked. Turkish outsources its New York catering to the Austrian company DO & CO. While DO & CO prepares meals for multiple airlines, Turkish sets its own standards for ingredients, plating, and presentation - which helps explain why the food looked and tasted a cut above competitors.

Naivety is an important quality to have when you start out, dreaming big and aiming high. But there are some important realities you should know before you begin.

From humongous megaships to luxurious yacht-like vessels, cruise travelers all love to grumble about the same thing-taking time out of their first day on board to complete the mandatory safety drill. Despite the efforts cruise lines have made to make them shorter and easier to complete, some guests are tempted to ignore the calls to report to their muster stations-especially in the rare occurrence of a full, in-person drill.

While often grouped together in a region known as the Lowcountry, South Carolina's coastal towns and cities each have their own unique blend of history, culture, and reasons to visit. Charleston's beaches and ever-growing restaurant scene are particularly noteworthy. Beaufort's architecture is fascinating, and Edisto Island is unrivaled in its peaceful nature and dedication to preserving its history. If you keep driving further south, you'll come across Bluffton, another waterfront destination to add to your must-visit list.

A week's hiking in Jotunheimen national park (230 miles north of Oslo) last summer brought me tranquillity and peace. During four days of challenging hiking and wild camping through the area we saw hardly anyone else, having entire lush green valleys and still glacial lakes to ourselves. We were fortunate to have stunning weather throughout and, despite it being July, still had a reasonable amount of snow to traverse.

The new service will connect Tampa International Airport (TPA) with Nassau's Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS), according to the airline. The flights will operate twice per week on Thursdays and Sundays starting June 11 and mark the fourth international destination for Breeze. To celebrate the new route, Breeze is offering discounted one-way fares starting at just $99. To take advantage, travelers must book by 11:59 p.m. PT on Feb. 3.

Cape Town tourism is a booming industry, and the Mother City needs foreign cash to operate as one of the planet's elite destinations. However, some locals are getting a little annoyed by the oversupply of digital nomads. European tourists are loving Cape Town, and why wouldn't they? When one single Euro gets you R19, an Uber to Boulders Beach to check out the penguins isn't all that pricy.

The winter season was once the time of the year when travelers would flock to the Caribbean to escape the cold-but that's not the case anymore,

In reality, most French people do not spend their summers chasing iconic landmarks or ticking destinations off a bucket list. Their idea of a successful vacation is quieter, slower, and often much closer to home. Rather than Paris or Saint-Tropez, they favor rural regions, discreet coastlines, forested hills, and mid-sized towns where life moves at a gentler pace, often staying in family homes, rented gîtes, camping sites, or small guesthouses.

Rather than just looking out to sea, why don't you also set sail on it? Hawaii has great options for boat rides, but the vast open waters can mean windswept hair (the bad kind). While some tousling is unavoidable, a drawstring bucket hat with ties under the chin can help keep your hair in place-all while protecting your face from the sun. Where to wear it: Maui is home to The Sailing Trilogy, a company that's

I compared coach and business-class experiences on a four-hour Amtrak trip. I thought business class was worth it for the perk of seat selection in the direction of travel. Business class also featured more spacious seats and bathrooms. Is upgrading from coach to business class on Amtrak actually worth it? I traveled in both to find out.

A certified commercial pilot, Ashmore used his time in line to pull up the FAA's Notice to Airmen to check KOA's real-time status. He said the notice said that the airport's runway was closing at 10:30 p.m. for ongoing construction. Since 2024, KOA's sole runway has repeatedly closed as the Hawaii Department of Transportation, or HDOT, works on repairs and reconstruction. To allow workers onto the airfield, HDOT closes the runway every night, which means redeye flights are subject to a sharp cutoff for departures.

If any corner of the world is synonymous with paradise, it's French Polynesia's scattered, sparsely inhabited islands, buttercream palm-fringed beaches, and glass-clear waters. The region is best visited by water, yet, when it comes to cruising, the islands around Tahiti remain surprisingly uncharted territory: the region welcomed 110,000 passengers in 2024-compare that to the Caribbean's 15 million or the Mediterranean's 5.8 million for the same period.

On the approach to Arosa in the Graubunden Alps, the road is lined with mountain chapels, their stark spires soaring heavenwards; a portent, perhaps, of the ominous route ahead. The sheer-sided valley is skirted with rugged farmhouses and the road twists, over ravines and round hairpin curves, to a holiday destination that feels like a well-kept secret. On the village's frozen lake, young families ice skate, hand in hand.

Thanks to increased solar activity, combined with clearer winter skies and longer hours of darkness, there have already been numerous reports of sightings throughout January across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. In light of this, travel specialists Japan-101 have analysed 100 UK towns and cities to identify the best locations for viewing the phenomenon. Each was scored out of 100 based on artificial light levels, air pollution and cloud cover, and totalled to determine an index score out of 100.

On a recent two-week trip to Japan with my fiancé - six cities, six hotels - every stay was gorgeous and perfectly appointed. We wanted for nothing. Except, in most cases, a proper bathroom door. Instead, we spent the better part of two weeks making accidental eye contact through frosted glass and translucent panels while one of us was otherwise occupied. A design choice, apparently. A test of intimacy, definitely.

What sets this isolated rock apart from the competition? It's a question of substance and that ghastly overused word, "authenticity." Capri will always be the pretty one - the view from the Via Krupp and the Faraglioni as seen from La Fontalina are starlet gold - and the island of Procida took recent fame as Europe's 2022 culture capital. Still,

The seat scramble at Southwest Airlines is no longer a thing. After 50 years, Southwest officially retired its open seating policy this week. It was a major move for the carrier, known for passengers scrambling for good seats as they boarded. The first two flights with assigned seating landed at Chicago Midway International Airport and Orlando International Airport, where the airline celebrated with a water-cannon salute, balloons, and commemorative bag tags reading "I understood the assignment."

The Department of Foreign Affairs has four security ratings - this one is the highest

That's where the Nickel Plate Express comes in, which offers themed rides on its 1950s-era Santa Fe Railway passenger cars from its home outside Indianapolis, Indiana. On board, enjoy a cozy ride with complimentary hot chocolate, curl up with a cocktail and a good book, or meet up with friends for trivia night on the rails. In February, the company hosts several themed rides, including a romantic 2-hour Valentine's Day jaunt complete with shareable charcuterie boards and curated cocktails,

I had never seen a cruise ship in real life before April 2022. I'd traveled by car, bus, train, and plane, but the only boat I'd ever been on was a ferry. That changed about four years ago, when I boarded one of the world's largest cruise ships, Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas. During my seven-night Caribbean voyage, the ship sailed round-trip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Roatán, Honduras; Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico; and Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas.
