While Labor Day may mark the unofficial end of summer, Margaritaville at Sea wants to keep the good times going with a flash sale that has half-off all cruises.

Airfare sales are nothing new, but one low-cost carrier is taking it to an extreme. Flair Airlines, a low-cost Canadian airline, recently announced it would be discounting their base fares to just one (Canadian) dollar on select routes from Cancun, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Puerto Vallarta to Canada.  While the fare may only be one dollar, the taxes and fees total approximately $15.14 per flight segment, including security and government fees. The base fares do not include any baggage, so travelers with a personal item, checked luggage, and carry-on luggage will need to add a bundle, which can be as much as $56. This is a similar pricing model that has been adopted in the United States by airlines such as Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant which offer basic economy fares without any frills. 

Government officials in Sri Lanka announced that citizens from 35 countries—including the United States—will be granted visa-free entry into the Asian nation, according to the Times of India.

Two esteemed properties have recently joined the ranks of AAA’s Five Diamond award winners, the highest honor in the AAA Diamond Program. Montage Healdsburg, located in the heart of northern California’s wine country, and Cocina de Autor in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, have snagged the top-tier designation thanks to their high-end gourmet cuisine, exceptional service and luxurious milieus. 

Immense waterfalls, scenic train rides, and cities that feel like Europe — I experienced them all during my first trip to Canada.

The best travel makeup bags keep your beauty and skincare essentials secure and organized while in transit, and help protect the rest of your belongings from accidental spills and leaks. A few years ago, I ruined one of my favorite tote bags after a bottle of foundation broke in my old makeup bag and spilled everywhere. There goes my tote bag and my overly priced foundation. After that, I decided to invest in a protective, durable travel makeup bag that could handle bumpy car rides, long-haul flights, and a reckless suitcase toss or two from TSA. The best options are also roomy enough to fit a vacation's worth of makeup while still being compact enough to neatly fit in your carry-on or personal item. And bonus points go to the cosmetic cases and bags that feature smart pockets or loops to keep small products like brushes, lipsticks, and eyeliner in place.

Airfare will remain below 2023 levels through the end of the year, but will start to rise as the fall and winter holiday seasons approach.

The 2024 Olympics seemed like a great time to explore Paris, so my friends and I began booking our trip over a year in advance.

Saving on fall travel just got easier with a new sale from Avelo Airlines.
