Last month, Canada passed new air-passenger-protection laws that compensate individuals whose flights have been canceled or delayed. Passengers whose flights are delayed by certain amounts of time, or canceled, will be entitled to as much as $1,000 Canadian but only if the flights are canceled or delayed by factors within an airline’s control.

Sometimes it’s nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city, and a quick day trip might just do the trick. Lucky for us, Atlanta is only a few hours away from the best sights Georgia has to offer.

Looking for an escape to wine country? Look no further than the many vineyards in our own backyard.

Want to get out of the house but not travel too far? All within a two-hour drive of Atlanta, these resorts might leave you never wanting to vacation outside of the state again.

Jet lag, the fatigue-inducing disruption of the body’s internal clock, can make or break a trip. Make the most of your next adventure by preventing jet lag’s effects on both your body and mind.

While you may think of camping sites, lodges and cabins for park accommodations, some offer lodging a bit more out-of-the box. We recently stayed in a 1970s barrel cabin in Unicoi State Park in North Georgia, so named because it’s shaped like a giant barrel.

Last month, the tech giant Google took big steps into the world of online travel, introducing the Google Trips app to its online platform.

Set on 614 acres at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains in Ireland, Ballyfin may be the most elegantly appointed place I’ve ever stayed. It’s the kind of setting where no ottoman or pillow goes unfringed, you’ll encounter a full suit of armor on the staircase and the 20 bedrooms have names, not numbers.

Recently, Airbnb launched a next-level style of service called Plus, a tier of high-quality homes that include amenities such as exceptional linens and bath products, Wi-Fi, kitchens with all the essentials, and an extra clean, clutter-free environment.

For three years, I’ve written the same words on Airbnb’s reservation field that says “tell your host why you’re in town.”

The results of our first poll on The Travel 100 are in! Is it rude to recline your seat all the way on an airline? The options:

“Watchin’ the ships roll in, Then I watch ‘em roll away again.” I thought of Otis Redding’s famous lyrics when I saw my amazing balcony with a view of the river at Savannah Marriott Riverfront.

We zipped along on our green scooters, passing the impossibly white sand dunes of the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Santa Rosa Sound on the other, enjoying the unspoiled beauty of Gulf Islands National Seashore in Navarre Beach.

Traveling over the river and through the woods to visit loved ones this holiday season? Well, you’re not alone. But before heading out, help ensure a safe (and enjoyable) journey with these pre-road-trip tips.

Flying can be stressful on a normal day, but during the holidays it can reach a whole other level as airport traffic continues to increase dramatically.

For the true traveler on your list, here are some gift ideas to help you pack lighter, travel safer and stay connected.

I’ve donated enough water bottles I’ve received as gifts to quench the thirst of several football teams. Give your clients something they will really use with these customized gifts, appropriate for men and women.

There’s (finally) a chill in the air, and the leaves are beginning to change color – it’s the perfect time to plan a road trip to the mountains. But if the thought of planning a route, booking hotels and picking activities that everyone will love sounds daunting, I’ve got the app for you.

We passed thatched-roof houses, castle ruins rising out of lush green fields and spotted a rainbow over the Atlantic Ocean. The scenery of the picturesque country of Ireland was just one of the highlights of the tours we took with Wild Rover Tours.

In the South we love to give our kids two first names. This hotel in Charleston, South Carolina, is honoring that tradition with the opening of the new Hotel Bella Grace. The Marriott-affiliated property has 50 rooms and suites, which include a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator and sleeper sofa. All rooms come with a full complimentary breakfast.

“We have an anomaly on the plane and need to go back to the gate,” the captain said. That began a 12-hour delay for my flight home from Syracuse, which finally landed at 1:54AM.

On paper, the Lexus RC doesn’t match up to the BMW 4 series, Audi A5 or Mercedes C-Class. It’s heavier, slower, thirstier and doesn’t corner as well. It might, however, be the best of the four.

Counting Crows, Chris Stapleton, Jack White, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds are just a few of the big names among more than 60 diverse acts you can see at the Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival on Sept. 22 and 23.

If I had children, I’d happily transport them in a Toyota Sienna. Quiet, comfortable and dignified, Toyota’s minivan also boasts 300 horsepower and capable suspension, making it a joy to drive.

If F. Scott Fitzgerald stayed at a resort, it’s good enough for me. The Don CeSar in St. Pete Beach, Florida, opened in 1928 and welcomed several celebrity guests. It served as a hospital for the U.S. Army during World War II and reopened to guests in 1973. The resort has 277 rooms, two pools and three restaurants.

I haven’t smelled a mildewed towel since Girl Scout days, but have no desire to repeat the olfactory offense. With this quick-drying Shammy Towel from Rumpl I don’t have to.

I recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend in Austin … not nearly enough time to explore all it has to offer but we made the most of it.

One of my favorite travel sites, TripAdvisor, shared its travelers choice for the top 25 destinations in the world. Coming in at #1? Paris. As Audrey Hepburn said, “Paris is always a good idea.”

There’s nothing wrong with the 2018 Toyota RAV4; it drives fine, offers decent MPG for its class, looks nice (especially with its outdoors-y Adventure trim) and features generous cargo space and road manners.
