Testing tips

For the past few months I’ve been converting a 2014 Ford Transit Connect into a campervan. I installed solar panels, batteries, built a bed, and more. Now it was time for a test run. I had intended to take more time with the build, but I had an important work-related trip coming up that required the van to be in at least livable condition.

Airport security may look a little more like a self-checkout counter next year thanks to a new technology the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is testing.

TSA PreCheck, an expedited security program for trusted travelers, has long been an attractive option for fliers who want to get to their gate faster and easier. However, starting next year, having the program’s logo on your boarding pass could net you an additional perk: the ability to breeze through entirely self-service TSA security lines.

Air travel contributes to 2.5 percent of our global carbon emissions, often getting named as one of the biggest contributors to climate change. So it’s no surprise that airlines are all upping their sustainability efforts, especially in the race to find jet fuel alternatives in the form of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

During this holiday season, media outlets aren’t the only ones that are publishing gift guides. Tourism boards and attractions are also curating lists of recommendations for products and services reflecting what their destinations have to offer visitors.

Ask Blake Scholl about how Boom Supersonic is doing today and he’ll respond by telling you where he hopes his supersonic jet startup will be tomorrow. It’s a well-honed vision: “To build a future where more people travel more often. To do that, we need flights that are significantly faster, ultimately more affordable and a big leap forward in sustainability.”

When JetBlue introduced Mint in 2014, it wasn't long until the carrier started racking up the awards.

Loading your carry-on bag in the overhead bin sounds simple (aside from testing your upper-body strength if you overpacked a bit). But, if you're still doing it the same exact way you were 10 years ago, as shown in the photo below, the odds are high that you're doing it wrong on some flights.

Technically, you don’t need to build a bed in a campervan conversion. You don’t even need a bed, really. You could get a collapsible cot, an inflatable mattress, or if you’re made from hardier stuff than I, you could just sleep on the floor of the van. I wanted something a little more comfortable. After all, I was building this van as a tent replacement. If I wanted to sleep on the hard ground using an air mattress, I could have done that in my Miata (and I have).

Over the last few years, space tourism has come to life, challenging the final frontier of travel. After years of testing, commercial outfits like Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic have already delivered on their promise to take paying customers into the stratosphere, albeit with no little controversy surrounding their motives and ecological footprints.

Clear, the $189-a-year membership that allows enrolled travelers to cut to the front of airport security lines, is getting a technology upgrade in the new year—a change the company says will help facilitate “even faster, friction-free verifications."

As major players in the travel industry, cruise lines have a responsibility not only to operate in an environmentally conscious manner but to lead global future-proofing efforts from the vanguard of maritime innovation.

When the British took to skiing in the early 1900s, we did so with competitive verve, organising clubs and amateur races that still draw big crowds today. The Inferno, held in the elegantly understated Swiss town of Murren, celebrates its 80th event in 2024, and constitutes the biggest public ski race in the world. It’s utter madness, involving 1,850 entrants racing over the nine-mile run, which drops from Schilthorn, at almost 2,970 metres, down to 790 metres, taking an average skier 20 minutes (the winner considerably less).

This innovative collaboration between Eve and Flexjet is a testament to their commitment to shaping the future of urban air mobility and providing efficient and sustainable solutions for the future of urban transportation.

Growing demand for Green Fares with already more than half a million guests

How do you live out of a suitcase? That's the second-most common question I get as a travel journalist. I'm on the road 365 days a year. And it's true: I manage to fit almost everything I own into a regulation-size carry-on bag.

At this time of year, hotels all over the world feature unusual amenities. But this one in New York City is a great way to get in some meditation and creativity while you test out your artistic skills. And get a great holiday gift – for yourself.

A gale is blowing, snow slamming horizontally against the windows as skiers mill around clutching steaming coffee, waiting for a weather window. But these aren’t just any skiers, they’re the best in the world at freeriding (skiing over ungroomed terrain), gathered in Verbier for the final of the Freeride World Tour (FWT) on one of the world’s most challenging faces. 

In this article, we will specifically talk about MCSE: Cloud Platform and Infrastructure certification and how to get it. We will also take a look at one particular certification exam so you could know how the credential process works.

The Ciacci winery may still age their wine in barrels in a historic cellar, but above ground, the business is embracing leading-edge technology to thrive through uncertain times.
