No matter how you slice it, air travel with a cat is stressful. Whether they're flying at your feet in the cabin of a plane or being transported in the cargo hold, a well-built, one of the best airline-approved cat carriers is essential for their comfort and your peace of mind.
We put 20 different airline-friendly pet carriers through a series of tests with two cats. Then, along with advice from a veterinarian and pet travel experts, we selected the best cat carriers for flying. Keep in mind that pet carrier size requirements vary by airline. Delta, American Airlines, and United allow pet carriers up to 18 inches long by 11 inches wide by 11 inches high. Some airlines have smaller maximum sizes, so be sure to check the airline's website before embarking with your pet.

Once associated with cheap package deals and a hedonistic party scene, recent steps have pivoted Mallorca into a luxury destination with an emphasis on cultural and sustainable travel. Late nights in Magaluf are slipping out of fashion in favor of catching the sunrise over UNESCO-listed mountains. Horseback wine tours, vintage train journeys, and sea kayaking excursions offer a far more memorable experience than the booze cruises that once orbited the island’s coastline. Venturing beyond the high-rise resorts, rural and oceanside Airbnbs in Mallorca, Spain, bring tourists even closer to the raw beauty of the Mediterranean island.
Summer may be coming to a close, but there's good news that comes with school being back in session: College campuses everywhere are springing back to life in full force.

Whether they are naturally formed, cast in concrete on a rock shelf or hewn from the rock itself, tidal pools solve a problem by providing safe access to the sea. Plunging into rich saltwater in a sheltered area protected from the turbulent waves, yet still refreshed by the tide twice a day, is an unfettered joy.
