The Best Places to Watch the New York City Marathon

New York is the place to be for the holidays—storied in movies and books.

It’s about to get easier to fly to Japan thanks to a pair of new flights to Tokyo from two different U.S. airlines.

If you're looking for beach-vacation bliss, the Bahamas is the place to go.

When I checked in for my flight from Milwaukee to New York City in early November, the seat assignment on my Delta app just said "See agent."

A Delta Air Lines flight attendant refused a request for a nut-free flight by a family traveling with a teenager with a nut allergy, a complaint filed with the Department of Transportation claims.

If you ask Merriam-Webster, Moxie means "energy" or "pep." If you ask Marriott, Moxy is "a playful, affordable, and stylish hotel brand designed to give guests everything they want and nothing they don't."

In 50 years, tourists will visit the same famous attractions they went to a century before. Companies will invest in marketing for countries where there’s a rising middle class and access. Those are two patterns I noticed when I explored a collection of nearly 300 vintage travel posters at New York City’s Swann Auction Galleries.

British Colonial, an iconic Nassau hotel steeped in more than 100 years of local history, will reopen this winter, showcasing a highly anticipated redesign inclusive of its guest rooms, public spaces, amenities, and onsite programs. The hotel’s 288 newly redesigned rooms, including 25 signature suites, occupy seven floors of the building and feature luxurious marble bathrooms, 50” flat-screen televisions, and desks designed for corporate and business travellers looking to work remotely with ease. Highlights include the spacious Prime Minister Suite and One-Bedroom Suites with adjoining parlours. Additional options include City View, Garden View, Oceanview and Premium Oceanview rooms - though with 21 different layouts due to the building’s unique design, there are very few rooms alike. Detailed wallpaper designs rotate between tropical palms, opaque garden-scapes and historical renderings. Dark wood cabinetry and bold, geometric tiling that offer a nod to the roaring twenties are softly juxtaposed by tropical prints and deep garden green, ocean blue and coral hues emblematic of The Bahamas’ nature.

JetBlue’s latest sale offers up to $300 off flight and hotel bundles to vacation hotspots across its network, including Aruba, Cancun, Montego Bay, Punta Cana, Nassau, Los Cabos and St. Lucia.  

The brief is simple. A two-day hike with a railway station at either end and a pub with rooms in the middle. No need to carry much, just a change of clothes, some lunch and water. I don’t want a circuit; I want a straight yomp across magnificent countryside with an evening in front of a log fire and a shiny array of real ale pumps.

There is a New York tradition that combines family, Broadway, and food. And it is, simply, Ellen’s Stardust Diner.

Chris Caputo stood on the tarmac at Burlington International Airport in Vermont in early October and looked to the clouds in the distance. He had piloted military and commercial aircraft over a long career, racking up thousands of flight hours, but the trip he was about to take would be very different.
