United debuts redesigned amenity kits, children's pack

When I booked a sleeper car for my 16-hour Amtrak ride, I could choose a roomette, bedroom, bedroom suite, or accessible bedroom. I went with the roomette, which was the smallest sleeping accommodation, so I assumed I wouldn't have much space for luggage.

United Airlines is making some noteworthy changes to its network.

If you're feeling peckish on your next United Airlines flight, the carrier has some good news.

United Airlines has brought back its popular discount for college-aged travelers — offering generous savings on select flights to Europe and India with no blackout dates.

Hilton Hotels is bringing its latest premium economy brand, Spark by Hilton, to India. The launch also marks Spark’s debut in the Asia-Pacific region.

Spirit Airlines became the first major U.S. airline in 13 years to file for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy after facing mounting debts and declining revenues. 

So much of plane travel can be stressful. Whether it’s the race to the airport, the interminable security lines, or the fear of flying itself, there are plenty of ways for anxiety to build.

Packing for a Florida escape means adhering to a polished warm-weather dress code. At Beach Club, a hotel within The Boca Raton resort that just completed a $120 million renovation, this means curating a travel wardrobe that looks as at home in the water as it does on a yacht. Dress in shades of soft sand and palm green for the scene at the Harborside Pool Club, where butlers deliver pitchers of rum punch to private cabanas; come sundown, glam things up with a flash of gold or pearls. You'll feel right at home in guest rooms that have been reborn with teal and coral-colored velvet accents—the same classic, refined image of Florida that The Boca Raton helped invent when it opened nearly a century ago. Below, our curated list of vibrant and chic packing essentials for a trip to The Boca Raton. Colorful two-piece sets, embroidered linen tops, and timeless accessories are all included.

Traveling around the Galápagos Islands is a straight-forward affair: All you have to do is show up with the right gear, and the islands (and their precious animal inhabitants) will put on the best show you’ve ever seen. This should be simple. Surely, if the 100-year-old giant tortoises can stay calm and strike a pose while a dozen teary-eyed tourists gawk at them from six feet away, you can pack the right kind of socks.

As a travel editor, packing is a routine part of my life. When you’re constantly on the road, living out of a suitcase becomes the norm and you get used to rearranging and retrofitting your packing setup to make it more efficient. Ironically, the most efficient thing I ever did to my travel setup was to ditch the suitcase entirely in favor of a new backpack, the Tortuga Setout 45L. I acquired my Setout in late 2017, prompted by a summer spent traveling through Southeast Asia and a fall in Mexico, during which I had a rucksack-style backpackers’ pack. At 33, I felt both too old and, now, too experienced, to be carrying around a rucksack.

Buying United miles in time for the holidays just got more rewarding with the airline’s limited-time promotion.
