US Increases Travel Warnings for Three European Countries

At a time when most airlines, budget or otherwise, are determined to make you pay through the nose for any piece of luggage you want to bring with you on a flight, Avelo Airlines, is going against the grain. Since May 25, 2024, Avelo, a US-based budget airline, lets adult passengers departing from Sonoma County Airport (STS) fly with one case of wine for free. As of September 16, 2024, however, the airline will be expanding its Wine Travel Free program to and from all its routes in the Western US.

Train travel has been growing in popularity for the past couple of years and there’s no sign showing that this trend is going to stop any time soon. According to Eurail, the big boss of train travel in Europe, “more than 1,237,000 Interrail and Eurail Passes were sold in 2023, a 25 percent growth from 2022.” To satisfy the ever-growing demand for rail travel, new train operators are popping up and offering new exciting routes, especially crowd-pleasing overnight routes.

When recording his ninth solo album, Flow Critical Lucidity, Thurston Moore stayed local, holing up in a London studio near his home in Stoke Newington to lay down tracks. Yet while that process played out within walls thrumming with the sound of reggae, jazz, funk, and soul from neighboring musicians, the writing process took place further afield on Lake Geneva, where the Sonic Youth frontman reflected on the places that shaped him, like New York City during his No Wave days, as well as locations that serve as a call to action in protecting the planet, such as the rich nature of the Galápagos islands. Condé Nast Traveler caught up with Moore in the East Village earlier this summer to learn how nature informed much of the making of the album—and what life in 1980s downtown New York City, as captured in his recent memoir Sonic Life, was really like.
