This post may seem a bit late when we think about the subject matter. But, we had never imagined that we would still be discussing this to this day. There is not much to say about the aggressions that are continuing in Ukraine, as of this writing. We here at Matouring deplore…

Spend Wisely
British Airways (our affiliate friends) have become the first UK airline to trial the use of biometric technology for international flights, enabling customers taking part in the trial to travel through the airport ‘smartly’ without having to show their passport.
Customers who sign up to take part in the airline’s trial from London Heathrow Terminal…
One of the travel sites that we visit regularly is ViewFromTheWing.com, run by the erudite, clever and funny Gary Leff. If you want to squeeze the best travel deals - especially when it comes to maximizing your credit card spend, you should really subscribe to his blog. But here, if you're a fan of…
Being travel writers, and even more avid travelers, we read a lot about the travel business: there's a lot to read! But some sources are too good not to miss. One is ViewFromTheWing.com, written by Gary Leff. One of his main missions is to find the best deals on airline points…
Forget all that business about the best time to buy a flight being Tuesday at 3pm or exactly 44 days out from your flight. None of it’s true. If it was, our Flight Experts would be pretty bored most of the time instead of hard at work sending our members deals.
The best time to…

Here's a great deal, and it expires next year. EasyJet and AWIN are getting decent results from their ONEADULT promo code aimed at single parent families and solo travellers. The current code is due to expire on 30/9/22 but will be extended now for another year. They have also extended the travel dates so it…
Finding a good airfare deal in the first half of 2022 was no simple task. Airfares for the first quarter of 2022 were up 17 percent year over year, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

They started cooling off in June and July and, thankfully, airline ticket price predictions for the fall indicate…
Despite the recent mayhem in travel, things will return to normal. But what will normal look like and how can you prepare to take advantages of the "new normal?"
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The…
We live in North America, but have lived in other parts of the world, too. It still boggles our minds how so many the residents of this part of Mother Earth still cling to the idea that a fossil-fuel burning vehicle is the way to go when it comes to getting around. Admittedly, some have…
Flying is a mixed bag for most people. We love the thought of travel, and we look for ways to travel even more. But - especially nowadays, flying can be a real turn-off. Long queues, ramped cabins, and - if you're unlucky - travelers who decide that it's OK to fight with airline staff or…
Once again, we write about camping. If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for? We would imagine that many don't like the idea of sleeping on wet grass, or fighting off the horde of mosquitos that camping implies, but there are ways around that by upgrading to 21st century technology that's been around…
The Ochre City of Marrakech presents a tale of two cities. Vibrant arts and culture, world class golf courses and fashionable night life, juxtaposed with spiritual mystique, beautiful gardens, Andalusian architecture and traditional souks.
And, the sumptuous Royal Villa at the Oberoi Marrakech Resort (our affiliate friends) has finally reopened after a two-year closure.

...sunscreen! And ice cream! In most parts of the world (as of now) we're saying hello to Mr. Blue Skies. And it's way overdue. Even with residual Covid masks still being recommended, we can almost feel back to normal . . almost.
But, when you choose a nice sunny place to spend…
When you travel, you never know what to expect, even when you scour the web, brochures and videos. It's full of surprises. But sometimes first impressions may not be accurate.
So, when we recently visited Peru, we stayed in a variety of places, of all types. Some were supremely outfitted with beautiful…
If you’ve never heard the term "fifth-freedom flights," you might be missing out on a lucrative way to snag a deal or use your frequent flyer miles. But to explain why, we have to start from the early days of airline regulation: Back in 1944, airlines and governments from around the world got together in…
If you are reading this, then you are likely no technophobe. In fact, you may relish the opportunity to get your hands on new technology and services. We know we do here at Matouring. But, when you think about it how much is too much when it comes to taking things while you travel? Do…
Even in these "enlightened" (we won't use the word "woke") times, where everything is visible and almost instantaneous, there are still some elements of being human that are inhuman. We all need something every so often and sometimes we need to look in alternative place. We're talking about the need for "love" in it's most…
