The Most Romantic Hotels In Paris, Europe’s Top Sleeper Trains And More Travel News
23.02.2024 - 15:01 / forbes.com
Paris has long been a city that lovers love, whether you’re proposing marriage, celebrating an anniversary, or looking for an affair to remember. To fire up the passion the next time you’re in the City of Light, Forbes Travel Guide has named the most romantic hotels in Paris—each with a view of the Eiffel Tower.
Travelers flying to St. Martin—and onward to Anguilla or St. Barth—have had limited options in premium cabins, but that changed this month when the all-business-class airline La Compagnie began direct flights from Newark in Sint Maarten. The Caribbean route on the French carrier will operate until April 14 (with plans to start again in November) and human passengers aren’t the only ones who benefit—three dogs up to 50 pounds are allowed in the cabin on each flight.
Snowhotel Kirkenes in Northern Norway touts itself as the first property to be built completely from snow and ice. And while other frozen hotels have emerged in Northern Europe since it opened, the original snow hotel is upping its cool factor by becoming a year-round attraction. A stay at Snowhotel Kirkenes runs about $700 a night and guests can enjoy such activities as dog sledding and snowmobile tours. Oh, and expect frosty reception at check-in—from a polar bear sculpted out of ice.
A few hundred thousand stargazers are expected to head to Indiana on April 8, when the first total solar eclipse passes over the Hoosier State since August 7, 1969. Here’s a complete guide to the solar eclipse—including luxury viewing options and which airline flights are perfectly timed for view from the sky. It’s also a true once-in-a-lifetime experience for most of the population, with the next total solar eclipse expected there on September 14, 2099.
Europe is enjoying a sleeper train renaissance in 2024, with new routes connecting some favorite cities—including Berlin, Brussels and Helsinki—and improved comforts such as sleep amenities, WiFi, and breakfast included in the ticket price. Here’s what you need to know about booking a sleeper train journey in Europe this year.

Help! Air Canada Ruined Our Trip to Ireland but Won’t Take the Blame.
Last September, my husband and I left our kids with their grandparents and set off to Ireland. Our $2,132 itinerary took us from Minneapolis to Toronto to Dublin on tickets booked on United Airlines through Expedia but ultimately operated by Air Canada, a United partner. We had boarded our connecting flight in Toronto (and I was already dozing in my seat) when the captain announced an operator had crashed the jet bridge into the starboard engine. We were given hotel vouchers and told we would be rebooked for the next day. Checkout time came and went without a word, so we went to the airport and were told to call Air Canada customer service. An agent booked us a flight for that evening, and we printed out boarding passes at an airport kiosk. But when we tried to board, we were told the boarding passes were invalid. Eventually, we were offered two options for the next day: Fly to Dublin via Newark, or return to Minneapolis. We cut our losses and went home after staying the night in Toronto at a hotel. But United refunded us only $1,087, barely half of what we paid. Air Canada did reimburse us for the second hotel and other expenses, but we believe the airlines owe us not only a full refund, but also 400 Canadian each ($295 apiece) under Canadian law for denied boarding. Both refused. Can you help?
