I've gone on over 25 cruises. There are 8 types of rooms I'd never book — and one I swear by.

A day after Christmas, I started the final stretch of the SAS EuroBonus million-point challenge, where I would end up taking 20 flights on 16 different SkyTeam airlines over the course of 25 days in order to nab 1 million SAS EuroBonus points.

The long ride from the international airport to the city of Yogyakarta on the Indonesian island of Java at least has the virtue of easing a jet-lagged traveler through a liminal zone of rice-paddy plains and jungle hills. Then the buzzy metropolis closes round, and everything is all business and hot tropical urban disarray. Streets thrum with a zillion scooters in what was once nicknamed “kota sepeda,” bicycle city.

As someone who has lived in Colorado for five years, I know Denver is more than just a place to fly in and out of on your way to the mountains. Colorado's capital city represents a lot of what makes this state so special.

Amtrak is celebrating a special milestone with big savings for passengers.  The train service's Downeaster line, which operates five times a day from Brunswick, Maine to Boston, Massachusetts, recently achieved ten million riders on the line. In recognition of the achievement, Amtrak is offering special $30 round-trip fares on the line when travelers enter the promotional code V232during the booking process.  “This is our best deal of the year and marks our biggest ridership achievement," Amtrak shares about the promotion.

As Europe shivers in the cold, its residents are dreaming of sunny getaways and foreign adventures. Not only dreaming but booking their 2025 breaks in record numbers, according to the travel industry.

The Department of Transportation filed a lawsuit against Southwest Airlines on Wednesday, accusing the carrier of "illegally operating multiple chronically delayed flights."

Southwest Airlines will launch its first international airline partnership next month, and expand its short list of international "gateways" to Denver and Nashville, the airline announced.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has confirmed an official deadline for the Real ID requirement, which will soon be mandatory for travelers to navigate airport security within the U.S. 

As an unathletic kid, I dreaded "going skiing" because it really meant slogging through ski school while my parents hit the slopes.

When my taxi rolled up to Aleenta Phuket Phang Nga Resort & Spa, a luxurious beach hideaway north of Phuket—and far from Thailand's overcrowded beach towns like Patong—I was a shell of a human, on the verge of burnout. My body was teetering toward a full system shutdown; my gut was a mess. My under-eye bags could double as carry-ons.

Cruises are a lot of fun but can require some planning to ensure everything goes smoothly. Over the past few years, I've been on cruises to places like the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the Panama Canal.

My grandmother was an avid cruiser who went on more than 100 voyages during her retirement. The one cruise she absolutely insisted I do, though, was a Panama Canal crossing.
