I Flew on JetBlue’s First Flight From NYC to Belize — Here’s What It Was Like

Travel is a journey that connects people, which is what makes it so exciting. But after experiencing massive crippling crowds at popular overtouristed destinations this year–consider Italy, for example–where good behavior was in short supply, global travelers have become increasingly aware of the negative impact tourism can have on local communities.

What’s trending on land eventually makes it to the skies.

Alaska Airlines has been in the news lately for the carrier's proposed merger with Hawaiian Airlines, a move that Alaska CEO Ben Minicucci said will "expand options for West Coast and Hawai'i travelers."

Air travel contributes to 2.5 percent of our global carbon emissions, often getting named as one of the biggest contributors to climate change.
