Want a smarter, cheaper way to get away? We connect the dots between policy shifts, route launches, and demand dips—so you know exactly where the value is hiding and how to book it before everyone else notices. First, we break down the new airline rules on power banks and portable charging, plus the U.S. airports with the worst on-time records (and the one quietly earning a solid B). Then we pivot to a destination we love: Malta. With Delta’s new seasonal nonstop from JFK, this sun-soaked, fortress-studded island just became an easy hop for U.S. travelers. We share why Valletta’s harbor arrival ranks among Europe’s most dramatic, where to stay across styles and budgets, and how to plan a tight-but-rich itinerary on an island you can cross in under an hour.

If a beach fix is calling, Cancún is having a rare moment: sidewalks are calm, rates are soft, and a pay-in-full promotion can save up to $550 off your trip. We talk timing, neighborhoods, and one beloved resort pick that always over-delivers. Then it’s “Just Cruising,” where headlines swing from playful (sunscreen-flavored ice cream, anyone?) to practical: AmaWaterways is offering complimentary pre- and post-nights on select New Year’s sailings, Riviera is building a solo-only river ship, and Aranui is adding capacity across French Polynesia with early-book savings to remote islands few ships reach.

Finally, we roll through the top five cruise deals that punch above their price—from a balcony-at-inside-rate Mexican Riviera week to a deep Southern Caribbean Cunard itinerary, a fjords voyage where a balcony is a no-brainer, and a Honolulu-to-Tahiti crossing that delivers the kind of sea days you’ll remember for years.
