For those with the New Year’s resolution to travel more, Frontier Airlines recently launched the “New Year, New Adventures!” promotion which will give away free flights for a year.

The wildfires burning a devastating path across the greater Los Angeles area are also impacting travelers going in and out of the area.

JetBlue is celebrating winter with a big flight sale that has tickets starting as low as $49.

Japan Airlines has launched a new luggage delivery service that will save you from having to lug your belongings on public transport upon arrival in Tokyo. The same-day service is available to anyone arriving at Haneda Airport Terminal 3, regardless of whether you flew in with the airline. The initiative was set up to help with congestion on public transport in the city, and I can’t help but wonder why other airlines at capital cities are not offering a similar solution.
