Amtrak is launching a new route between Chicago and Miami this fall that will whisk passengers from the Midwest to the Sunshine State in 47 hours.

Autumn is a big season for hotels, especially those that represent the winds of change. In New York City, Standard International debuts its latest hotel concept, The Manner—which feels less like the hedonistic Standards of yore, and more like any of the city’s growing number of fabulous private-members clubs. Across the country in California, a beloved Laguna Beach icon enters an exciting new chapter. Salt Lake City is finally getting a new lifestyle hotel—just in time for another ski season. And the country’s first ultra-sustainable, “carbon positive” hotel opens its doors in Denver to set an example for hotels everywhere. There’s a lot happening, and a lot to explore—where will you go first? These are the most exciting new hotel openings of fall 2024.

When the Van Cortlandt family acquired their sprawling Hudson Valley estate in the late 1600s, they couldn't have imagined that it would one day host a jack-o'-lantern festival with pumpkin sculptures including a Kraken, moving windmill, and Statue of Liberty.

The Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) is planning to increase its staff presence in the North American market and will open an official MTA office in New York in 2025, according to Carlo Micallef, CEO, speaking at an event in New York for the travel industry and travel media.

Traveling well means being prepared for just about anything, from the time you leave until the moment you return, and this includes being intentional about all of the luggage needed for the journey. Much like with a suitcase or weekender, deciding on which shoulder bag to bring along on your travels requires a fair amount of thinking ahead. Not only is it usually dependent on the destination itself, but I’ve learned that considering the mode of transportation you’ll be using to get there is just as important.

When my kids were little, I read an article about a "location-independent" writer, cut it out, and taped it near my desk. It stayed there for years until it literally fell off because the tape dried up.

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky believes that a lot of business leaders don’t understand their companies, and that’s a problem. 

JetBlue recently unveiled plans for lounges at both Boston Logan International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

JetBlue is making a major splash in the premium travel space with its first-ever airport lounges. The New York-based carrier will open two lounges starting in 2025, JetBlue said Thursday — one at New York's John F.

As the dog days of summer ease into a mild—if not slightly chilly—fall, autumnal joys like pumpkin spice, cider donuts, Halloween decorations, and cozy farmers’ markets, flood our moodboards and imaginations. Arguably one of the most anticipated fall activities is apple picking, as the leaves start to fall and classic crowd-pleasers like Galas and Honeycrisps fully blush into their red-yellow skins.

A potentially crippling strike has been averted. Management at Air Canada, the country’s largest airline, has averted a strike by reaching a tentative agreement with its pilots.

It was 2016. I was working as an editor in New York City, and a carry-on from a new travel brand had just landed at my desk. A cardboard box held inside a black Away carry-on. Sleek, with a ridged design, it featured technology that was groundbreaking at the time—a built-in USB battery to charge your phone, a compression panel to press down clothing for even more room, and a removable laundry bag. Not only that, but as it was made from durable polycarbonate hardshell, it became my first hard-sided bag—at that time, hard shell luggage was still a small percentage of luggage bought and used, though it was gaining popularity every year. (According to the Travel Goods Association and first reported by The Washington Post, hard shell luggage accounted for almost 8 percent of the US luggage market by volume in 2010; by 2015, that number was just over 16 percent.)
