Read MoreWith a chill whipping down the eastern seaboard and the sun falling faster into the southern sky earlier and earlier each day, November has one last treat for the horse racing fans who sigh at the end of the season and still crave the sun on their faces long into the afternoon. In 2024, The Breeder’s Cup will be held in Del Mar, California, on November 1st and 2nd. Del Mar Thoroughbred Club will play host, offering two days of action-packed races on varying surfaces, all run by the best horses the world has to offer.
Read MoreAutumn in the 21st century is a time beloved by marketers. Pumpkin spice, cozy sweaters, vivid leaves – it’s not just the relief from the summer heat that appeals to the public. However, hidden behind the bright exterior is the knowledge that (to coin a phrase) winter is coming. Grey days, bare trees, chilly rain or sleet – we’re headed for the season that inspires daydreams of being elsewhere.
Read MoreHell is other people, as per Jean-Paul Sartre – and seldom does that concept seem as profound as at the airport. From scanning the garage for an open parking space to waiting in line to check your bag, to awkwardly juggling your belongings as the guy in front fills up six bins to be scanned, to jostling for a seat in the gate waiting area, rarely does the world seem as crowded as it does when traveling by air.

Read MoreFor the typical airline traveler, “flying” and “luxury” don’t exist in the same sphere. While U.S. airline travel is now far more affordable relative to average income than it was before deregulation in 1978, anything that was once glamorous and exciting has eroded away for the economy-class traveler, who endures crowded gates, cramped seats, limited (and pricey) food options and unhappy fellow passengers. First-class travelers get more creature comforts, but still must tolerate long security lines and unexpected delays.
Read MoreWhen it comes to private jet travel, North America and Europe dominate. According to WingX, about three-fourths of all global business jet and turboprop flights in 2023 departed from North America, with Europe second on the list at 15%. No other region accounts for more than 3%. However, when analyzing the growth in those flights over a four-year period – starting right before COVID upended the travel world – the leader suddenly looks very different. Departures from airports in South America are the clear winner, increasing by more than 200% in 2023 from 2019. Change the starting date to 2020, 2021 or 2022, and South America remains the fastest-growing market.
