Top 5 / Other

Where are you headed this year? With airlines increasingly dropping fares and adding routes, there are tons of new opportunities to see the world. Factoring in great value and accessibility, here are our picks for the best places to travel in 2018.

Baja California

With new protections in place to preserve the peninsula’s biodiverse waters and lands, Baja is well worth exploring beyond the tourist hot spot of Tijuana. Snorkel with whale sharks, kayak the coast and hit charming towns like Todos Santos, Loreto, San Ignacio, Mulegé and La Paz.

Canary Islands, Spain

This slightly off-radar archipelago has plenty to offer, from fascinating scenery to excellent cuisine and wine. The Parque Nacional de Timanfaya is one highlight, as are the black-sand wineries of La Geria. Scenic drives around Lanzarote are also high on the list.

La Paz, Bolivia

Bolivia’s incredible scenery is well worth a visit. Base a trip in the capital city, where you can hire budget-friendly tour companies for hiking trips into the Andes.

Poland

The European country is a steal in terms of value, while still offering a lot in the way of scenery, food, and culture. Head to Białowieża National Park, try Polish beer or explore Gdańsk’s rebuilt old town.

Hunan, China

Highlights include Zhangjiajie’s jumble of peaks, the hanging town of Fenghuang and spicy Hunan cuisine.

Interior Upgrades Begin Rolling Out Across United Fleet

United Airlines is in the midst of a major initiative to modernize its fleet over the next several years. After first announcing the plan in 2021, planes fitted with United’s signature interior are finally beginning to appear across the airline’s narrowbody fleet of Boeing and Airbus planes. United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.

What to Do During a Trip to Morro Bay, California

No, it’s not Monterey Bay. We’re talking Morro Bay, California, located about a 2.5-hour drive to the south, about halfway between San Jose and Los Angeles. A quieter destination, Morro Bay offers plenty for the outdoor adventurer to enjoy.

Greece: A Life-Changing Experience

Experience the life-changing destination of Greece by exploring its island gems in the Ionian Sea. Scattered off the western coastline of Central Greece, to the south of Peloponnese, the Ionian Islands are an island group comprising large and small islands.
