The idea is to prevent visitors overstaying; the consequence is a 70% increase in security processing times, according to the trade body Airports Council International.

The flight, operated by Singapore Airlines, is one I'll never forget, and I'd do it again just to eat kaya toast once more.

Protect yourself from the sun with headgear and lots of sunscreen. The sun can be very strong in some destinations, especially on Caribbean trips.

After Trump ended the de minimis exemption last year, purchasing an item straight from an international vendor, regardless of the item's value, meant incurring International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs. Now, thanks to a ruling by the Supreme Court that overturned Trump's IEEPA tariffs, and a ruling by the Court of International Trade ruled that all tariffs paid under IEEPA must be returned, buyers may be able to collect a refund.

Digital-savvy airlines use their socials to advertise special offers as a way of strengthening relationships with both new and repeat customers. This can be a win-win for both the customers and the airlines. Travelers get access to limited-time fares, and airlines can boost revenue by filling seats during slower travel periods, such as Caribbean routes during hurricane season.

Rather than chasing diminishing returns through additional advertising, the agency advocated for an entertainment product: a film that could function as a vehicle for repositioning perception while operating as a single investment with long-tail value, capable of shaping how audiences feel about a place over time and across markets.

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany's busiest air travel hub and one of Europe's most important gateways, handling the bulk of the country's intercontinental traffic and serving as a key transfer point for flights across Europe and beyond. Whether you're planning a winter escape to the Arctic, a Mediterranean city break or a longhaul journey outside Europe, Frankfurt's expanding route network offers a growing range of choices.

"Fuel surcharges are not a stranger to the cruise industry," says Leslie Fambrini, a travel specialist. This indicates that such fees have been previously implemented and are part of the industry's pricing strategies.

Panama Ports Company (PPC), part of the Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison, said the Panamanian government acted in disregard for the rule of law. It decried what it called the latest steps to invade and take the property of PPC during a search on Thursday. It also accused authorities of entering a private storage site without notice and ignoring requests to safeguard sensitive corporate data.

Jet fuel alone accounts for somewhere between 25 and 35 percent of airlines' costs. The next stop is higher ticket prices. It's already happening, to some degree. Several airlines, including Air Asia and Hong Kong Airlines, have explicitly said they're adding to their usual fuel surcharges.

I manage a team of four. One of my staff members, Jeff, asked to go to a conference that was about a five-hour drive away. I approved the request as the conference would be good for his professional development. Three other staff members from our closely connected teams were also going. Jeff registered for the conference. A couple of weeks later, he asked me about booking a flight to it. I was surprised by this, as the conference was a reasonable driving distance. I explained that the department would rent a van and the attendees would drive there together. (Our department wants to minimize expenses when reasonable, so this is normal unless it doesn't make sense logistically or financially.) He pushed back with a couple of reasons that he wanted to fly, such as it would save time and he didn't feel comfortable driving.

A main reason why Google Flights is so accessible is because of its user experience, which is simple, clean, and mirrors their general search product. You aren't bombarded by too many filtering options from the get-go, making getting started with the travel search relatively seamless.

The off-season practically vanished in many parts of the world. Remote work, social media frenzy, and ruthless dynamic pricing have turned fall and spring into peak-season clones. Even winter is no refuge anymore. The idea of an off-season is 100% disappearing.

If you travel enough, it happens. You're browsing flights, feeling savvy and then you see a price that defies logic. A one-way ticket costs more than a return. A longer route is somehow cheaper. The same flight costs far less if you start in another city. It's confusing until you understand one thing: Airline pricing is not logical. It's psychological.

arrive two hours prior to scheduled departure for domestic flights and three hours prior to scheduled departure for international flights.

February is when travel group chats start lighting up again. The holiday chaos has faded, the days are stretching a little longer, and suddenly everyone's itching for a change of scenery. Here's the thing: it's not too early to lock in spring break plansor even to get strategic about summer. In fact, this is when some of the best deals of the year drop. For example, cruise lines are deep into wave season, with serious savings on everything from sailings throughout the Caribbean.

"Stopovers allow people to turn what used to feel like 'dead time' into a destination in its own right," says Whitney Haldeman, founder of the luxury group travel company, Atlas Adventures. "Done well, a stopover can end up being the unexpected highlight of the entire trip." Sometimes, booking an extended layover can even save you money. "I often recommend booking a round-trip transatlantic flight into London," she says.

From walking gently through Kotor's ancient streets to building a soulful, high-end life abroad, this guide blends mindful travel with smart expat strategy.

Packing for a European getaway is no easy feat, especially if it's your first time abroad or you only travel a couple of times a year. It requires planning-the right luggage, versatile outfits, comfortable shoes, and smart accessories all have to be considered-and you'll want to try to pack as lightly as possible. Depending on how you've structured your trip, you may be hopping on and off public transportation or climbing seemingly endless stairs,

As a freelance travel journalist, I'm frequently told I have the "dream job." Multiple times a month, I fly to a new city, new state, or new country, searching for adventures and stories. Like all careers, there are definitely downsides, but there's not a day that goes by that I'm not grateful for the experiences this type of career has afforded me.

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.
