Julie Padilla+FollowCharlotte airport layovers just got interestingStuck at Charlotte Douglas airport? Turns out, a layover here can be a mini adventure. You can catch live piano performances—sometimes by musicians who’ve been on American Idol! There’s a whole tribute to the Wright brothers with interactive exhibits, and foodies can dig into local BBQ or grab a drink at a Charlotte-born brewery. Gamers can hit up the Gameway lounge for some PlayStation or Xbox time, and if you just want to chill, those iconic white rocking chairs or a quick spa treatment are perfect. Who knew an airport could be this much fun? What’s your favorite airport layover activity? #News #CharlotteAirport #TravelTips00Share
Ernest Harris+FollowSouthwest Airlines’ New Seat Rule: What Flyers Need to KnowHeads up if you fly Southwest! Starting 2026, if you need more room, you’ll have to buy two seats upfront—and getting a refund for that extra seat just got trickier. If your flight isn’t full and you follow the rules, you might get your money back, but don’t count on it. This could mean pricier trips for some, so plan ahead and check those seat sizes before booking! #Business #SouthwestAirlines #TravelTips81Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowWhy Your Power Bank Can Ground a FlightEver wondered why flight attendants care so much about your gadgets? Turns out, those portable chargers and power banks we all carry can actually start fires mid-flight. If a battery overheats, it can burst into flames—yikes! Airlines now want you to keep these devices in sight and never stash them in overhead bins. Pro tip: skip the super cheap chargers and always tell the crew if your device gets hot. It’s a small move that could save your trip (and everyone else’s)! #Business #Industry #TravelTips00Share
Nicholas Lyons+FollowDisneyland hotel guests lose early entry perkStarting January 5, 2026, Disneyland hotel guests will no longer get early park entry—a major shift for anyone used to beating the crowds. Instead, guests will get Lightning Lane access to one attraction per day, but not for top rides like Radiator Springs Racers or Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Plus, the special entrance from Pixar Place Hotel to California Adventure is closing. With these changes, staying at a Disneyland hotel might not feel as exclusive. How do you think this will impact your future trips or the value of staying onsite? #Travel #Disneyland #TravelTips01Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowAirlines Are Shaking Up Your Fall Travel PlansHeads up if you’re booking flights for fall or the holidays! Big airlines like Delta, United, and Alaska are switching up their routes—some flights are getting the axe, while others are popping up in new cities. Delta’s cutting flights from Minneapolis but adding more out of New York. United’s pausing Texas-to-Cuba trips for the winter. And if you’re flying American from Trenton, you’ll be hopping on a bus instead of a plane! Check your itinerary before you book, because your usual route might look a little different this season. #Business #Industry #TravelTips30Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowThis Cruise Hotspot Isn’t Worth the HypeEver wondered if the Caribbean is really all that? Cruise expert Alley Kerr says it’s actually kind of overrated—think repetitive beaches and not much variety. Her top picks? The Mediterranean for its culture and history, and Asia for truly unique adventures (Japan, Taiwan, Thailand—yes, please!). Plus, she spills some behind-the-scenes tea on cruise crew life: bad food, but killer pay and perks. Would you skip the Caribbean for somewhere new? #Travel #TravelTips #CruiseLife317Share
Kelly Mack+FollowTSA Just Banned These 3 Surprising ItemsHeads up, travelers! TSA just banned three super common hair tools from checked bags: cordless curling irons, flat irons with gas cartridges, and those little gas refills. If you pack any of these in your checked luggage, they’ll get tossed. The good news? You can still bring them in your carry-on—just make sure they’re covered and can’t turn on by accident. Also, no more taking off your shoes at security! Travel is getting a bit easier, but double-check your bags before you fly! #Travel #TSA #TravelTips13334Share
Jamie Watson+FollowMexico Travel: Where It’s Actually RiskyThinking about a Mexico getaway? The U.S. just issued a Level 2 travel advisory—meaning be extra cautious, but don’t panic. Most tourist hotspots like Cancún and Cabo are still safe, but experts say to steer clear of cartel-heavy areas, especially coastal Acapulco in Guerrero (yikes, high crime rates!). Some states even have a strict ‘do not travel’ warning. Bottom line: stick to the main tourist zones, use rideshare apps, and keep an eye on your bling. Stay smart, stay safe! #Travel #MexicoTravel #TravelTips5559Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowDelta’s Making Big Moves for Travelers!Delta just dropped a bunch of updates that could totally change your next trip. Think faster security lines with facial recognition, easier bag check with app-based drop-offs, and less hassle with checked luggage on some international flights. They’re also clearing up rumors about AI pricing (no, they’re not charging you more based on your data), but heads up—if you’re flying out of NYC this winter, there’ll be fewer flights. Ready for a smoother airport experience? #Travel #DeltaAirlines #TravelTips190Share
