Ready to navigate the shifting landscape of travel? Southwest Airlines has made a game-changing announcement that will transform how we fly with them. After decades of their iconic open seating policy, they're finally introducing seat assignments! Starting July 29th, passengers can book flights departing January 27th or later with pre-selected seats, choosing from four options ranging from basic to extra legroom. This welcome change eliminates the notorious gate crowding while maintaining Southwest's customer-friendly approach.
Planning a Hawaiian getaway? Take note that advanced reservations for the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor have been suspended due to renovation uncertainty. While the memorial remains open, visitors must now seek same-day reservations or try for standby spots. Meanwhile, Delta continues its reign as America's top domestic airline for the seventh consecutive year, with United, Southwest, Alaska, and Hawaiian rounding out the top five.
For travelers seeking unique experiences, we spotlight private tours in Rome that take you beyond typical tourist paths into underground catacombs and hidden historical treasures. These personalized adventures, led by local guides, offer skip-the-line access and intimate exploration for about $100 per person—comparable to crowded bus tours but infinitely more enriching. Fall visitors to Cabo San Lucas can capitalize on surprisingly low prices (five nights from $999 including airfare) while enjoying prime fishing season or whale watching directly from oceanfront resorts.
Cruise enthusiasts will be intrigued by Travel & Leisure's 2025 rankings, with Virgin Voyages claiming the top spot for the first time. We also highlight HX's expanded Antarctica expeditions offering more opportunities to kayak among icebergs or camp overnight on the continent itself—truly bucket-list adventures. For Panama Canal crossings, October presents excellent options starting from just $1,079 for 16-day journeys.
