Big Sky, Montana is the hottest ski resort in the nation right now. It’s in the midst of an unprecedented multi-decade infrastructure and improvement program that has given it the most advanced lift system in North America, new hotels, restaurants and enhancements everywhere you look. Its second home market has exploded, celebrities have flocked here, and it is interconnected with the nation’s most notable luxury private ski communities, the Yellowstone Club, Moonlight Basin and Spanish Peaks. Big Sky is the second largest resort in the country, has room to potentially expand further, and is famously uncrowded in an industry plagued by crowds and long lift lines. The first ever mountain resort from top-tier luxury brand One & Only is coming next year, along with one of the world’s most advanced lifts.

So far in 2024, several in-flight medical emergencies have made headlines around the world. In early January, a passenger on a Jet2 flight from Tenerife, Spain, to Manchester, England, died after being found unresponsive in the lavatory. Passengers on a Munich-bound Lufthansa flight in early February described the “absolute horror” onboard when a man began gushing “liters” of blood from his nose and mouth; the flight returned to Bangkok for an emergency landing, but the passenger died on the plane. A third incident occurred on a flight from Punta Cana to Charlotte in late February when a 41-year-old female passenger began convulsing; the flight was diverted, but she later died at a hospital.

Barcelona’s tourist tax is set to rise once again on 1 April.

No historical plaque marks the spot known as Platja des Franceses, or Frenchman's Beach, on the Spanish island of Mallorca. In fact, as I turned off a back road in the warm haze of a late summer's afternoon, there was little to distinguish it from other parts of Alcúdia Bay, a roughly eight-and-a-half-mile-long arc of soft sand and gently lapping crystal-clear waters. Like most corners of the Mediterranean in July, it was a genial hubbub of families playing, lovers smooching, and sun worshippers lazing. But I recognized the location, framed by a shady grove of pine trees with a headland in the distance, from murky black-and-white holiday photographs and a flickering Super 8 movie I'd watched on YouTube.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) will conduct a privacy review of major airlines in the United States with a focus on how popular carriers handle and store passenger’s personal information.

The Mediterranean island of Sardinia is home to some of Italy's most off-the-beaten-track beaches, archaeological sites and culinary experiences, many of which are inaccessible by public transport.

I spend a month or two in Puerto Rico, where my mother’s family is from. Often I go in winter, with the other snowbirds, finding solace among palm trees. But I’m not a tourist, not really. I track the developers that privatize the shoreline; I follow the environmental reports that give our beaches a failing grade. I’m disenchanted with the Island of Enchantment, suspicious of an image that obscures the unglamorous conditions of daily life: frequent blackouts, meager public services, a rental market ravaged by Airbnb. Maybe that’s why I turned away from the sunshine and started to explore caves with my friends Ramón and Javier, seeking out wonders not yet packaged for the visitor economy. I’ve been learning to love stalactites and squeaking bats, black snakes and cloistered waterfalls — even, slowly, the darkness itself.

Chef José Andres is a busy man. Aside from overseeing over two dozen restaurants and releasing his Longer Tables podcast and Substack, this month alone he is releasing a new cookbook—Zaytinya: Delicious Mediterranean Dishes from Greece, Turkey, and Lebanon—and debuting a new show on Prime, Dinner Party Diaries with José Andrés. When he chats with Condé Nast Traveler, it’s between calls as the founder of his nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, which is currently fighting to deliver food and aid to Gaza. It’s understandable, then, that his idea of a vacation has changed as he’s gotten older (and his empire larger).
