Julie Padilla+FollowWho Invented Vacay, Anyway?Ever wondered who kicked off the whole holiday trend? Turns out, only the super rich could afford to travel for fun before trains came along. Romans sent cheeky postcards, medieval folks went on pilgrimages (with a side of partying), and the British got their first paid days off in 1871. Mass tourism? That didn’t really take off until the 1960s. So next time you’re booking a trip, thank a Victorian, a Roman, and maybe even a pharaoh! #News #TravelHistory #Vacation00Share
Vincent Perry+FollowThe Jet That Changed Flying ForeverDid you know the world’s first passenger jet was once a luxury ride—until design flaws turned it into a flying nightmare? The de Havilland Comet promised posh travel with plush seats and real meals, but a series of crashes grounded it for good. Today, you can step inside a lovingly restored Comet at a quirky UK museum and see how far air travel has come—safer, cheaper, and a lot less risky! #Business #Industry #TravelHistory50Share
Brad Ramirez+FollowEnd of an Epic Flight Era ✈️Singapore Airlines just axed its legendary Singapore-to-Houston route—the world’s longest single-stop flight! For 17 years, travelers braved a wild 26-hour journey with a pit stop in Manchester (and before that, Moscow). Only 64% of seats were filled, so it’s no shock it’s gone, but still… nearly half the globe in one trip! If you’re a mileage junkie, you’ll have to settle for their 19-hour nonstop to NYC now. End of an era! #AviationNews #TravelTrivia #SingaporeAirlines #LongHaulFlights #TravelHistory #Travel00Share
