The key to seeing any celestial phenomenon is pretty obvious: You must be in the right place at the right time. While the exact location and time changes with every astronomical event, the right place is undeniably somewhere far away from any light pollution. These days, unless you make your way to a dark sky park, finding a spot on land that’s far away enough from civilization isn’t easy, so why not take to the seas? In the middle of the ocean, chances of street lights ruining your stargazing experience are very thin, that’s why cruise lines are ramping up their astronomy at sea offerings, including northern lights cruises, solar eclipse cruises, and more.

When you plan a trip to Canyonlands National Park, you get way more than just one national park.

Even if you plan to spend as much time in the open air as possible, it’s always nice to have someplace comfortable to retreat to after a long day outdoors — these hotels near Canyonlands National Park deliver.

In-flight disasters are flooding headlines these days as the post-pandemic era prompts a mass return to travel.

Air Canada has apologized and said it is following up with two passengers after they were booted from an August 26 flight. 

Air Canada is expanding its international flying schedule for the summer of 2024, especially to destinations across Europe, including a new year-round route between Montreal and Madrid. 

The number of Canadian pilots seeking to fly in the United States tripled in 2022, according to previously unreported U.S. government data, raising fears of deepening shortages in Canada as pilots seek higher wages.

Montréal has long been known as Canada’s most affordable big city – locals tend to go slowly and enjoy life rather than hustle for more money and more stuff.

American Airlines is boosting its presence in Miami with the addition of an exciting new transcontinental route.
