Julie Padilla+FollowFinland’s Ski Season Is Basically Canceled?!Tourists are getting their winter trips to Finland canceled—not because of too much snow, but because there’s barely any! Resorts that usually bank on thick snow are looking pretty bare, and travel companies are scrambling to move people further north just to find some powder. Locals say winters are getting grayer and shorter, and it’s not just bad for vacation plans—it’s a huge warning sign for the climate and local economies. Would you still go if there’s no snow? #News #ClimateChange #TravelNews00Share

gregorybrown+FollowSouthwest’s New St. Maarten Flights = Spring Break WinPlot twist for your 2026 travel plans: Southwest is finally flying to St. Maarten! Starting April 2026, you can hop a nonstop flight from Orlando (or weekends from Baltimore) straight to this dreamy Caribbean island—no passport needed if you stick to the Dutch side. Think turquoise water, epic beach clubs, and a French-meets-Dutch vibe. If you’re already scheming your next beach escape, this just made things way easier (and way more tempting). #News #TravelNews #SpringBreak00Share
Sean Clark+FollowBig changes coming to Zion’s scenic driveStarting June 2026, Zion National Park will turn away large vehicles from the iconic Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway. This means if your RV, trailer, or bus is over the new size or weight limits, you’ll have to find another route. The park says it’s all about safety—tight curves, narrow tunnels, and old bridges just can’t handle today’s biggest rigs. For locals and visitors, this could mean less congestion and safer roads, but also some big adjustments for tour groups and road trippers. How do you feel about these new restrictions? #Transportation #ZionNationalPark #TravelNews00Share
Sandra Escobar+FollowSouthwest’s Seat Shuffle: Big Changes AheadSouthwest is ditching its famous open seating for assigned seats starting Jan 2026—and that’s not all. If you need more than one seat, you’ll have to buy it in advance (no more hoping for a free extra at the gate). There’ll be three seat tiers, and plus-size passengers face stricter rules for refunds. This is a major shakeup for anyone used to Southwest’s free-for-all boarding! #News #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews00Share
Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowHyatt Sells Beach Resorts, Still Runs the ShowHere’s a money move for your next vacation: Hyatt just sold a bunch of its all-inclusive beach resorts to Tortuga for $2 billion—but don’t worry, Hyatt’s still running the day-to-day. The big shift? Hyatt gets a cash boost and less real estate risk, while you’ll still see the same Hyatt experience at your favorite spots in Mexico and the Caribbean. More beach, less balance sheet drama! #Business #Hyatt #TravelNews00Share
Justin Dixon+FollowNational Parks Just Got Pricier for TouristsPlanning a trip to the Grand Canyon or Yosemite? Heads up: starting in 2026, international visitors will have to cough up an extra $100 for entry. The new 'America-first' policy means U.S. citizens still get the $80 annual pass and more free-entry days, but tourists from abroad will pay $250 and lose out on some free days. If you’re a local, mark those fee-free dates—everyone else, better budget! #Travel #NationalParks #TravelNews00Share

Julie Padilla+FollowAirline Rankings: Who Flies High & Who Flops?Just saw the latest long-haul airline rankings and wow, American and United are dead last (ouch). Singapore Airlines is living its best life at #1, with Qatar and Cathay Pacific close behind. Delta’s holding it down for the US at #9.
