Summer may be over, but beach season doesn’t have to be. In fact, with fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, fall is the best time to explore coastal towns where cultural sites, natural wonders, and tons of history tell memorable stories to take back home. Here are seven seaside escapes that are even better offseason.
These Are the Shoes You Should Never Wear on a Flight
11.09.2023 - 13:21 / cntraveler.com
No topic is more hotly contended in the Condé Nast Traveler office than what constitutes the perfect airport outfit. Some of us will proudly strut into JFK wearing jeans and crocs, while others are firm within the oversized hoodie and Birkenstock Bostons brigade. Others have even been known to wear espadrille wedges and a floaty summer dress on a flight, embracing main character energy and boldly flouting safety considerations, comfort, and the arctic-level air conditioning on the plane.
Of all the outfit considerations though, the MVP of what to wear on a plane comes down to the shoes. If your feet are happy, moving freely, and feeling cozy and supported, then you're off to a good start. Choose the wrong shoe—one that’s uncomfortable, restrictive, or cumbersome to remove—and it can add just that little extra bit of ‘ick’ to your journey that no one needs. To keep the travel experience calm and collected, these are the shoes to avoid wearing on a flight and the styles we recommend instead.
Instead wear: ballet flats
Few travelers would consider flying in a stiletto heel for the low levels of comfort alone, but it’s also something to avoid for safety reasons. Not only is it important to wear comfortable shoes in case you need to run to your gate, but also in case of an emergency. Airline safety demonstrations advise that in an emergency all high-heeled shoes need to be removed in the case of an evacuation—heels can cause damage to the evacuation slide. A sturdier wedge heel could be considered a better option, but keep in mind you'll be asked to remove them at airport security, as the heel is considered thick enough to conceal items. Instead, a classical ballet flat is the ultimate fashion-approved alternative. Choose a simple style that's free of embellishment and you'll be able to breeze through airport security.
Instead wear: slip-on shoes
While sneakers—especially these cult dad shoes—may be the ultimate shoe to wear when traveling, the classic styles can be a hindrance if you’re looking for a quick journey through airport security. To avoid any slow downs and troublesome laces, consider switching to a pair of slip-on shoes. Some of our favorite slip-on styles are from Sabah, Allbirds, New Balance, and Vans.
Instead wear: loafers
The main drawback to boots is they need to be removed at security—as do any high-top shoes, including Converse high tops. If boots are unavoidable—you’re traveling in winter, and there’s little room in your luggage—aim to wear a style that can be removed quickly. Otherwise, the next best thing is a smart penny loafer that’s sturdy, comfortable, and easily slipped off if required.
Instead wear: fisherman sandals

Delta Is Adding New International Flights From These U.S. Cities in Time for Next Summer — What to Know
As the summer travel season comes to a close, one airline is giving travelers a reason to start planning next summer's vacation.
