Flying is a stressful ordeal, and when it's possible—especially on a long-haul flight—people want to kick back and relax. But in today's tightly packed plane cabins, one passenger's comfort is often another's discomfort.

It's been about a week since a Japanese resort town erected an eight-foot-tall mesh to block a scenic view of Mount Fuji that had tourists crowding nearby businesses.

A United Airlines plane had to be removed from service after dozens of passengers fell ill, The Daily Mail reported.

Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has canceled his star-studded trip to the moon aboard a rocket designed by Elon Musk's company, SpaceX.

Don't ask me where May went, I truly don't know. This month was a wild one for this hotel reporter. It started with my own wedding here in New York City, followed by a honeymoon in Paris, and the chance to catch the first night of the European leg of Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour." I then immediately joined a wonderful retreat with TPG's travel team in Washington, D.C.

In the ever-expanding wellness world, one of the latest trends is actually one of the oldest: soaking in, and sometimes drinking, therapeutic waters. In ancient Greece, physicians, including Hippocrates, prescribed mineral-rich baths to treat everything from skin diseases to insomnia. (According to one theory, the word “spa” is an acronym of the Latin phrase “sanus per aqua,” meaning “health by water.”) The practice has also been employed in Asia since at least the sixth century A.D., when nomadic Buddhists are said to have brought the concept of onsen (inns and bathhouses built around natural geothermal pools) to Japan from the Korean Peninsula.

Part of my job as a travel writer is hopping on airplanes on a regular basis.

For years, the Costa da Caparica—a long stretch of Atlantic beach just across the Tagus River from Lisbon—was something of an afterthought; Lisboetas saw it merely as a low-rent suburb. But about a decade ago, that started changing, when the surfers caught the waves and a group of bohemian, mostly international scene-makers caught onto the region’s potential. Since then, one beach club after another has opened, some with sophisticated food, some with chilled-out afternoons and others with booming parties that last until sunrise.
