Summer might (unofficially) be over, but JetBlue has us thinking otherwise with flight deals to warm weather destinations, perfect for shoulder season travel.

The shoe you're going to see everywhere this fall: flats. There's arguably no shoe more sophisticated than a classic black ballet flat or a pair of red Mary Janes—they effortlessly make any outfit more stylish. Where they often fall short, though, is in the comfort department. A completely flat shoe with little-to-no arch support or padding sounds like a busy traveler's nightmare. Not to mention—the wrong pair of flats means you're ending your day with a foot full of blisters. With this in mind, you might have sworn them off as a travel shoe altogether. But there are pros to this timeless shoe that make them worth keeping in your footwear rotation. Style aside, they're lightweight, versatile, easy to slip on and off, and even easier to pack, taking up little suitcase space. We turned to some of our favorite comfort-first, travel-friendly brands, like Rothy's, Dolce Vita, and Everlane, and asked our fellow editors for their go-to's, to bring you 19 pairs of flats you can comfortably wear this fall. Below, the best (and most comfortable) flats to pack this season and beyond.

It’s safe to say that travel is incredibly important for Megan Spurrell and Henry Urrunaga Diaz, both of whom travel the world for a living: Megan is a Californian who works as the associate director of articles at Condé Nast Traveler in New York, and Henry is a Peruvian who films his adventures for his YouTube channel. The pair met through friends in 2014 while spending a few months in Rio de Janeiro around the time of the World Cup. They’ve lived together in Henry’s native Lima, traveled around Southeast Asia in tandem, and logged some long-distance years before settling in New York City in 2019.

Growing up in Singapore, I thought I'd seen most of my country — a city-state just slightly smaller than the size of New York City.

After a 15-hour flight from Los Angeles to Sydney and four packed days of touring, dining, and dancing into the wee hours at an Aussie wedding, my husband and I picked up a rental car and escaped out of the harborside metropolis for a few nights of peace and quiet. We were en route to the beach town of Byron Bay and hoped that a two-night stop in Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest wine region, would be a balm for our jet-lagged souls.

As the summer travel season winds down, travelers can take advantage of fall travel deals as a jumpstart for their next vacation. Norse Atlantic Airways, a discount European airline, recently revealed dozens of flight deals on flights from the United States to Europe throughout the rest of 2024 and early 2025 as part of a September Sale. The sale extends to several top tourist destinations in Europe including Athens, Berlin, London, and Rome, all for less than $200 one-way.  Travelers can purchase the fare sale tickets between today and September 12, however the tickets are sold in limited quantities, which means the sale could end sooner.  Best of all, the discounts are available in Norse’s Economy Light cabin, which, as of September 2, will also include a standard carry-on bag. The cabin class previously had a fee for carry-on bags, or required the purchase of a higher class of fare. In addition to Economy Light, Norse offers Economy Classic which includes a meal service and standard checked bag, and Economy Flextra which includes priority boarding and is a refundable fare. Travel + Leisure spotted dozens of one-way flight deals available including:
