Whether that would prove to be for better or worse remains to be seen, but plenty of experts are already weighing in with predictions.

Thanksgiving week and its many sales may have come and gone, but it's not too late to save on a winter trip to New York City (very) early next year.

Traveling during the holidays is stressful enough and every little obstacle along the way can feel amplified. While many factors can play a part in flight interruptions and delays, a new study by Upgraded Points takes a look back at nearly a decade of historical data spanning 2014 to 2022 to find out which airports tend to have the best and worst track records for punctuality during the holiday season.

Imagine trying to get something to eat at an airport when you’re changing planes on a tight connection many gates or corridors apart: grabbing, and then waiting on line to pay for, even a sandwich might be impossible. Due to an all-mobile innovation called flo™ Xgen, though, developed by the airport culinary concessionaire OTG for use in its restaurants, food halls and markets, a delicious, freshly prepared meal can soon be ordered up to 24 hours in advance and either picked up or delivered to the connecting gate. Called Order Ahead, it’s scheduled to be available by Q1 2024 in all 11 North American airports (10 in the U.S. plus Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada) where the company operates 350 outlets in 23 terminals. (Those with more time can use the platform now to order while in the terminal.) And it’s not the only introduction on track.

It's about 70 degrees in Pennington, New Jersey, a warm afternoon for October, as we trek from the tomato tunnel to a sprawling rice field. We're on the Blue Moon Acres farm, about 50 miles southwest of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and 75 miles from LaGuardia Airport (LGA).

Global Entry, which gives preapproved, low-risk travelers expedited clearance upon arrival in the U.S. from abroad, is among the five expedited security programs the U.S. government offers.

Passengers who were on British Airways’ Flight 112, from Kennedy International Airport in New York to Heathrow Airport outside London, received some good news early Thursday morning. The flight, which normally would have taken about six hours, was going to arrive 50 minutes early.

United Airlines is on the move by debuting its largest summer flight schedule in the company’s 97-year history. 

While traveling through Canada a few weeks ago, I was ecstatic to find my flight from Toronto to Saskatoon had arrived 19 minutes early. Having got into the city a bit earlier than expected, I popped into the Remai Modern museum before it closed. A few days later, on the final leg of my jaunt from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, back to Newark Liberty International, via Toronto, the first leg was also 19 minutes early, and the second a whole 22 minutes ahead of schedule.

United Airlines has a secret. And despite being loyal to the airline for years, I was unaware that it was practically right under my nose at Newark Liberty International Airport. Then last year, a friend asked me if it was worth going to the “invite-only” restaurant in Terminal C.

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration confiscated more than 1,800 firearms at U.S. airports from July through September and is expecting to surpass 6,500 firearms by the end of the year.

As another crazy summer of travel to Europe came to a close, Americans once again put their seemingly insatiable appetite for Europe travel on full display this year. Heading into the busy holiday season, airlines and airports in Europe are still struggling with staffing shortages and on-and-off-again worker strikes, meaning that lines and wait times at Europe’s airports will likely continue to be pretty long well into the holidays and beyond.

For many travelers, arguably the majority of travelers, upgrading to business class is about one main thing: getting better sleep in the sky. So, it’s perhaps not too surprising that United Airlines’ newest upgrades to its Polaris international business-class seats are focused on helping fliers better rest and relax.
