An island in Italy is offering to pay for half of your plane ticket, as well as a night at a hotel and your attraction entry fees in a bid to encourage tourists to return. Sicily, located off the south of Italy, is attempting to lure foreign visitors back to the island after the lockdown…
A decade ago, ITA Software sold to Google and then evolved into Google Flights. ITA’s Matrix took detailed ticketing data from airlines and travel agencies. Its homepage advertised that there were more than three million ways to get from Boston to LA, meaning that while most engines look solely at cheapest, fastest routes. But for those who…
If you travel a fair amount, you have probably had an even mix of good and bad experiences. Sometimes the bad experiences will make you want to pull your hair out and never travel again - or at the very least never use that airline again. But sometimes the airlines pull out all stops to…
Who among us has suffered an airline delay or cancellation, or even been bumped from a flight? Plenty. Who’s been compensated for the inconvenience? Probably not very many. One Berlin-based firm, AirHelp, is trying to rectify that, educating flyers around the world of their rights to compensation — and, for a fee, helping them secure…
For years, there has been a flight search engine that has powered the travel industry called ITA Matrix. Google purchased them in 2010. The software - which Google still uses - is available for consumers. The benefits of using the took are that there are far more search options than on the more simple Google…
. . . of genius! Here we go again, featuring and shouting about another place in Europe, one that you might not know. Welcome to Brest. Brest is an unusual choice for a European trip because it lacks the fairytale, cobblestone charm typical of other French or European cities. Located at the "end of…
Bletchingly, I'd say. Even spiffing, actually. Being British, as we are we tend to like things a certain way. We're not achingly precious about many things, but some tend to get our backs up if we see that something British is not quite right, or is obviously fake, or simply doesn't…
Some years back - quite a few as it transpires - I was looking for travel content for the matouring website. I was intrigued by stumbling across a young and vivacious and (most of all) sweet YouTuber named Yan. She's Chinese but with a German hubby Flo. Almost from the start of…
We won't be getting political here. Rather than soak in sour grapes, we're counting the days until the "very stable genius" departs to a rest home or some other option far far far away, so that humankind can try again to pick up the broken pieces that were all that was left. Never in…
Relax. This is not another one of those "SHOCK HORROR" posts that crawl along the floor of the internet. It's a somewhat sad story of a changing Japan. And while we've been in much of that wonderful country, there is so much more to see. We're sure you're of the same mind.…
Oz? Aaahs. It's the place you want to be, even if it's a hike. Or, several flights, in reality. You can't say no. Our affiliate partners, Tui have just the right way to make your holiday go swimingly. How about an adventure where you are the wizard of Oz?…
Firstly, this post is not a sales pitch for anything. Rather, it's a how do do it. However, Unless your travel partner is a magician (like your editor’s lovely and incredibly smart better half) anyone can gain from it.
First, Packing as a Strategy: Use a "modular" packing system to stay organized across…
Most of us take commercial airlines when we fly. What choice do we have? Even standard tickets are through the roof now, and everyday flights are usually crammed to the point of exhaustion. After climbing down the stairs to the jetty, you may be looking at yourself saying "why this" and "why me?"
It is…
Da da da. Which way do you turn? While Alaska may be the biggest U.S. state, its population is one of the smallest in the country. Four-fifths of the state's territory can be reached only by air, and a lot of small towns would have been completely isolated were it not for small…
So close, and yet so far. I Visited a Russian Town Next to the EU. See What It’s Like. We stumbled across this video a couple of days ago and it really piqued our curiosity. As THE BIG WIGS continue to create one battle after another, everyday people find ways of simply…
This post is, for me, a Dutch treat. Firstly, it's about birds, those lovely avions who make our hearts flutter just as much as the birds flutter past us themselves. We take walks to find them. We're thrilled when one is even just nearby. Humans have been captivated by birds for…

Ah, travel - The eternal yin and yang of being human. When it comes to air travel, most everyday humans usually will opt for the lower-cost options: most of us don't have much choice: that's the way it goes. But, sometimes we can squeeze our coins such that a delightful surprise awaits us. …
We Avgeeks always get a thrill and run at full speed when it comes to seeing an unusual, special or historical aircraft take to the skies again. It doesn't happen very often, especially when most are in museums. If we're really lucky, we might have the chance to walk around them. But, walking into these…
