As hard as it can be to admit, especially in the slaphappy state that often accompanies travel to fresh destinations, we all have to sleep eventually. The sting of leaving the dance floor (or taking a melatonin at 9 p.m. so that you’re rested enough for your 8 a.m. breakfast meeting), will be a lot easier to bear if you know you packed a sumptuous pair of pajamas among your usual clothes and toiletries.
The best men's pajamas can make any sleeping experience feel luxurious—you can’t feel the scratchy fabric or slick vinyl surface of a stiff futon if you’re swaddled in silk. But if you’re a hot sleeper who often opts to sleep in little more than cotton boxers, you know any additional clothing you wear must be breathable enough to keep you from sweating through your sheets.
Luckily, there is a pajama set available for any kind of traveler and trip. There are simple bamboo separates perfect for visits to your normie in-laws. Thick flannel sets that will keep anyone warm, even if you are tasked with the first early morning dog walk. And there are, of course, the classic piped sets that will make you feel as dashing as a fictional father about to reach for a bent apple pipe. Here, the 11 options we’ve found worth bringing in your carry-on.
As T-shirts have become stiffer and more boxy, the time honored tradition of just sleeping in the shirt you were wearing all day has become harder to maintain. Seekers of that perfectly worn-in softness can find it in the Cozy Earth short-sleeve pajama set. Made of a blend of breathable bamboo viscose fabric, both the T-shirt and shorts here are smooth to the touch. The effect is so comfortable, you might find yourself wearing both parts much longer into your day than you expect. Luckily, the shorts have pockets.
The Swedish designers of CDLP are known among menswear obsessives for making shockingly soft, supportive underwear. The company’s pajamas mercifully don’t hug the body in the same way as its delicates, but they do offer some structure. You could reasonably confuse the pajama shirt for a vacation-ready camp collar button-down, especially in the handsome dune shadow check pattern. The difference comes down to feel. The CDLP pajamas are made from a light and airy wood pulp fabric that’s ideal for hot sleepers who can admit they still want to look cool, even if there’s no one around to see it.
Anyone who has ever had the misfortune to wake up to chattering teeth can understand the appeal of flannel pajamas. What the thick fabric lacks in breathability it more than makes up for in heat retention prowess. You’ll be able to appreciate this fully when you don the flannel set from Eberjey, constructed of a brushed version of the fabric that’s soft against the skin. The

Heathrow Airport's plan to build a third runway at London's main hub has been given a boost by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
When in Morocco, one might visit the El Badi Palace, walk the grounds of the Koutoubia Mosque or enjoy a meal of dates and chebakia at … McDonald’s?
If you’re thinking of a European vacation this year, then you’ll have plenty of choices on how to get there. Major airlines are adding new routes en masse—at least 35 in all—for an increase of 7,000 seats per day over the Atlantic this summer compared to the same period in 2024, according to aviation analytics firm Cirium.
There was a day not too long ago when the diaper bag was an eyesore: An item on a baby registry, it was clunky and baby-centered, and it had a short shelf-life, retiring to a closet or a donation bin in a mere matter of years. Gone are the days; the diaper bag is now both a coveted accessory and a style staple for caregivers—some of the best ones are not even diaper bags at all. Three kids and five-plus years into parenting, I’ve come to see the best diaper bags as chameleons in the luggage world: They effortlessly transition from a necessary staple while traveling with tots to an everyday item you’ll carry around even when kids are long-grown.
Delta Air Lines is dropping nonstop service to two Central American destinations from a key West Coast hub — but launching two new routes for the summer months.
Much ink has been spilled about the best airports for layovers and the world’s greatest airline stopover programs, but I’d like to make the case for families to pad big trips with a couple of nights in a kid-friendly layover city.
Taking a sleeper train from Denver to Salt Lake City was more expensive than flying or driving — and it took a lot longer. But for a locomotive enthusiast like me, it was worth it.
Hilton and American Express have announced that they are donating 20,000 free hotel nights to residents displaced by the Los Angeles wildfires in partnership with local non-profit organization 211 LA. Ranked among the most destructive fires in California's history, the Eaton and Palisades fires have destroyed entire communities and forced hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate.
I took my first cruise in 2022 on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas. At the time, it was the world's largest cruise ship, but the title has since been replaced by the same cruise line's Icon of the Seas.
There are currently more than 100,000 people in Los Angeles who have been displaced by the ongoing wildfires. As Travel + Leisure shares hotels and vacation rentals with significantly reduced rates for Angelenos who are evacuating or have lost their homes, the question becomes: How much will insurance actually cover for short- or long-term hotel stays? Put another way, how significant do hotel discounts need to be in order to not cost displaced Angelenos money out of their own pockets?
