Hyatt finalizes Bahia Principe partnership, expanding all-inclusive portfolio

Southwest Airlines’ planned expansion to Europe is quickly becoming a reality.  The Dallas, TX-based carrier recently shared with Travel + Leisure that it has officially signed a joint commercial agreement with Icelandair to begin flights between the two airlines starting in February 2025. The inaugural Icelandair flights will take off from Baltimore, MD (BWI) airport to Reykjavik, Iceland, although a specific launch day within February has not been disclosed.  Once in Iceland, travelers can connect to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Paris, Prague, and other destinations throughout Europe within Icelandair’s route network.

By the time my kids, Mila and Joe, were tweens, they’d become pretty savvy travelers. We had traveled as a family all over Mexico and Central America, to French Polynesia, and around Southeast Asia—Joe had even tagged along with me on a work trip to Egypt. But a family trip to Europe? Nope. I had been urged by a few well-traveled friends to save Europe for a time when my children would really appreciate it, when they could enthusiastically spend not just hours but consecutive days wandering museums and historical sites, when their palettes could handle sophisticated flavors, and when 10 p.m. dinners wouldn’t destroy the following day. I’m not sure why I chose to listen to this parenting advice while cavalierly ignoring all sorts of other cautionary tales and whispered warnings, especially since my kids ate everything, had been visiting museums since their toddler days, and frequently stayed up to 1 a.m. But I did, and year after year, kept punting on a family trip to Italy or Greece, countries I knew and loved and couldn’t wait to share with my kids when the time was right.

One of the most exciting hotel openings of the last year was the late 2024 opening of the ski-friendly Grand Hyatt Deer Valley.

Last year, Hyatt teased a new partnership in Las Vegas that would see The Venetian Resort Las Vegas (made up of The Venetian and The Palazzo) join World of Hyatt. As of now, that partnership is live, and World of Hyatt members can now earn and burn at the only all-suite resort on the Strip.

I recently had a chance to attend a five-course dinner at the Thompson Denver hotel, part of the Hyatt brand's A Taste of Thompson: Chef Series. This is one of many activities available through Find, Hyatt's experience platform, where World of Hyatt members can earn and burn points.

Cancún is an undeniably popular tourist destination. In 2022, the region hosted nearly 10 million visitors. With seemingly endless beaches and clear waters, it’s not surprising to see so many travelers making their way to this area.

Valletta, the capital city of the archipelago of Malta, the southernmost capital city in Europe, and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is tiny. At just 0.24 square miles, you can see all its highlights in a matter of a couple of hours, which is good news for the cruisers who tend to have one day, or less, on site.

As you’re pulling into Paws Up Montana, it doesn’t feel like visiting any other regular hotel or resort property — it feels like you’re returning home to your family’s cozy Western ranch home. Paws Up Montana is a family-owned property surrounded by open blue skies and grassy pastures, plopped in the middle of a wide open space in Greenough, Montana, 35 miles northeast of Missoula. While this sprawling western Montana property is technically still a working cattle ranch, it’s also a place open for audaciously spirited visitors to stay, create unforgettable memories, and live out fantastical wild west cowboy dreams. The rustic yet elevated and sophisticated ambiance balances adventures with elegance and is an outdoor lovers’ dream come true, any time of year. On a recent visit, I learned why.

My husband and I just marked a significant milestone by visiting our seventh continent together: Antarctica . During the past 20 years, our mutual love for exploration has taken us to every corner of the globe, but our recent journey to this vast, icy desert feels distinctly different.
