There has been a flurry of new, and exciting, airline routes launched over the last several months. From Icelandair’s Miami to Reykjavík route, to American Airlines’ New York City to Charleston, SC, there are new routes for every type of traveler. However, despite the new routes, some airlines have been cutting back services Avelo Airlines, a Houston-based discount carrier, recently confirmed to Travel + Leisure that it would cut back service from Connecticut's Bradley International Airport. The airline will exit its routes to Wilmington International Airport in Wilmington, NC (ILM) as well as Concord-Padgett Regional Airport in Concord, NC (USA). Both routes will end on March 30, 2025, and passengers with tickets after this date can contact the airline for rebooking. The changes come as Avelo says it will refocus their efforts on only international departures from the Bradley International Airport, and operate domestic flights from New Haven, CT at the Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN). The airline will also end routes from Wilmington Airport (ILG) in New Castle, DE to both Concord, NC (USA) and Atlanta, GA (ATL). All four of the routes generated low demand, according to an airline spokesperson.

Well, well, well—we’ve checked into The White Lotus season 3 and found ourselves at a full-blown wellness resort. The previous two properties on Maui and Sicily had spas, sure, but this Thailand outpost takes it to another level with health mentors, personalized regimens, and digital detox bags for cellphones.

Although the body floating in the shallows of the spa resort's pond in the opening scene suggests they didn’t asphyxiate in a malfunctioning sensory deprivation tank.
