April 2025 Travel News: Airline Perks, Cruise Comebacks & Wine Country Wandering
This month’s travel news roundup comes to you from a breezy spring campsite in Traverse City, Michigan, where we’ve been sipping wine, stargazing, and dreaming up our next adventure. Along with headlines that caught our attention, we’re also teasing a new series inspired by our recent trip to Mexico City — more on that soon.

WalletHub ranked Spirit as the best U.S. airline in 2025 — a surprise worth looking into.
Wine Break: Dune Bird Winery
Midway through recording, we made a stop at Dune Bird Winery in Leelanau County — great wine, low-key setting, and just the right kind of place to slow down and take in the view.
Travel News & Cruise Comebacks
