Travel in Los Angeles, state New York

This week, Virgin Atlantic launched flights to the start-up capital of India, Bengaluru, a key destination for US customers connecting onwards via London Heathrow from San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York JFK, Seattle, and more. With average connection times of one to two hours, the route promises optimal connectivity for those traveling for business or enjoying a vibrant city stay in India’s third most populous city.

It’s not often that travelers have something to look forward to at Newark Liberty International Airport. The new $2.7 billion Terminal A will open in December, the latest in a series of major airport projects opening around the U.S. this year.

Let’s be honest: We’d all fly first class if we could.

An airport connection (or two) is often the price you pay for service to far-off destinations. Unfortunately, a connection almost always complicates your travel planning, asking you to decide where to connect and how much time to allow for the connection. There’s no easy formula answer to those questions, but there are a few choice airports to try and avoid.

Fair warning: You have to act FAST and be really lucky, but it’s possible to get a $100 flight to Australia. To celebrate Qantas’ 100th year, the airline is offering a very limited-time sale from now to November 21. The deal is that Qantas will release 100 airfares each day for $100+ each way when purchased as a round-trip. The origin and destination are kept a mystery until the day the fares are released at 2 p.m. PST (5 p.m. EST).
