Private Jet Charters
March 14th, 2013 World Traveller 
Jet charters are a popular choice for corporate travelers, who are often on hectic schedules and need to cut down on travel time. Private jet rentals eliminate the waiting time at airports, the luggage checks, and other bureaucratic hoops that make mainstream travel so time-consuming. Of course, the cost is usually the catch: jet charter rates can be prohibitively expensive, especially for small companies just getting started in international business.
Different factors come into play in determining jet charter prices. Some of the most important are distance, number of passengers, and extra amenities requested. For example, big cities such as New York and Chicago are popular destinations and may cost less, while landing in a smaller airport will entail further costs for land travel.
The type of aircraft also influences the price; most companies now use Boeing, Lear, Westwind, Legacy, Citation, Hawker, and Gulfstream. These models offer different pros and …
Europe’s Best Ski Resorts for Easter
February 8th, 2013 World Traveller 
Winter may be in its tail-end, but the advent of Easter means another peak season for ski resorts and enthusiasts. This is especially true in Europe, where the landscapes and temperatures lend themselves particularly well for late-season skiing, and where companies like MadDogSki offer tempting travel packages. If you’re on the prowl for a last-minute ski vacation, here are some of this year’s top picks.
St. Anton: A well-known stop for avid skiers, this Austrian corner of the Alps offers a variety of tough and easy slopes, as well as a great selection of bars—perfect for kicking back after a day on the slopes. Mountain climbers and trekkers are also drawn to its slopes throughout the year. The scenic backgrounds are of course a welcome perk.
Val Gardena: Located in Northern Italy, this ski resort is known for being family-friendly. Kids are well provided for in the nursery …
Caravanning for Beginners: Your First Trip
February 8th, 2013 World Traveller 
For new caravan owners, the first outing can be as stressful as it is exciting. Questions like how to stay safe, how to make sure everyone has fun, and what to do in an emergency can crop up. But caravanning doesn’t have to be stressful—in fact, much of its appeal comes from the promise of a fun, stress-free vacation.
Driving the van is one of the first and most important things to consider. Although it takes some experience to make it second nature, it’s not rocket science either. Your best recourse is to do a few test runs before your first outing. You can do this on your drive way or the storage site, or wherever it’s convenient.
Something that doesn’t always come up, at least at the beginning, is caravan insurance. Companies like Caravan Club can keep you covered whether you’re on or off the road, and provide coverage …
Traveling on Eurail
August 20th, 2012 World Traveller 
Eurail, the most popular form of cross-country transport in Europe, is a boon for travelers looking get around on a shoestring. Essentially a consortium of European train carriers, Eurail allows non-European citizens to visit up to 22 countries in one trip. The arrangement makes it easy to plan itineraries, as well as save on train or plane tickets.
Passes are bought for a specific number of days within a given period, such as four days out of one month. They can allow access to one or multiple countries; the Global Pass allows you to visit all 22. The system is designed so that there’s a package for every budget and itinerary.
One thing that makes Eurail attractive is that passes can be bought in advance, eliminating the lines upon arrival and allowing tourists from outside Europe to get straight to their destinations. A backpacker, for example, can land on any …
Travel Health: Be A Proactive Tourist!
August 15th, 2012 World Traveller 
With travel budgets going down across the board, a lot of hype has grown around “proactive” travelers—the kind of traveler who foresees unwanted expenses and avoids them way ahead of time, saving more than a few pennies. These include everything from cuts and scrapes to lost luggage, as well as vaccinations. The U.S. CDC (Centers for Disease Control) advocates this view, offering practical advice to help travelers stay safe on the go.
There are three things worth considering before you board your plane: your destination’s health risks, local laws, and your own medical condition. The first thing you want to look at is the level of risk—health and security-wise—of your country of choice. Both the CDC and the WHO (World Health Organization) publish regular notices on countries that pose specific health risks to visitors. These may include epidemic outbreaks or airborne diseases, as well as potential natural disasters. In the …
Where To Go for Museum-Hopping
May 11th, 2012 World Traveller 
If you’re one of those travelers who like to take home a bit of knowledge, chances are you’re always seeking out the museums wherever you go. While many cities are famous as museum hotspots—Montreal and New York are among the best—other cities have just as much to offer, minus the crowds. Here are some of Frommer’s top picks for museum-hopping around the world.
Mexico City: It’s not the first place you’d go for a Caribbean adventure—that honour belongs to Cancún—but it beats the rest of Mexico when it comes to museums. It’s home to over 150, enough so that the typical local would probably not have seen them all. Start off with the Museo Nacional de Antropología, thought to be one of the best archeological museums in the world, with endless displays of Mayan and Aztec artefacts. Those with more specific interests can check out the National Shoe Museum and …
Surprise Yourself: Alternative Summer Holidays
April 16th, 2012 World Traveller 
If you’re looking to spend summer off the beaten path, this may just be the year for you. Whether it’s the recession in the developed world or a newfound interest in the environment, countries that were previously off travel lists are now making a name for themselves. Paris, Rome, Athens, and the Caribbean are still worth a visit, but far-off places hold a lot more appeal for experienced travelers. Here are some that are worth checking out.
Muscat—Beaches off the beaten path
Crowds ruin the beach experience for even the most avid beach bums, so the 1,700-km coastline of relatively unknown Oman is a real treat. In Muscat, the capital, one can hit the beach without the hassle of parking or traffic. Although there’s none of the glam of Miami Beach or the laid-back charm of Mexico, you get your peace and quiet, stunning scenery, and a good selection of …
Little-Known Places Top 2012 Travel List
April 14th, 2012 World Traveller 
Travel season is just around the corner, and in some places is already in full swing. The tried-and-tested places—Paris, Rome, the Caribbean—are already reeling in throngs of tourists. But travel experts are urging this year’s travelers to take the less trodden paths, not just because they’re less expensive but because they have a lot to show. While European and South American hotspots still make the list, there are more than a few surprises in Financial Times’ top destinations for 2012. Here are some of the most interesting.
Ethiopia: More well-heeled travelers may be familiar with Lalibela, Ethiopia’s gathering of rock churches. And to be sure, they’re not to be missed if you’re visiting for the first time. This year, however, the East African country has far more to offer, from the Omo valley where it meets the Horn of Africa to the northern Simien mountains. The Danakil desert is a …
Britons want adult-only flights
April 14th, 2012 World Traveller 
Don’t like sharing a plane with crying babies and talkative toddlers? Britain shares your sentiment—and they’re calling for child-free flights.
More than half of British travellers would vote for an “adult-only” flight option, according to a survey by Jetcost, a flight comparison website based in the UK. The respondents cited loud children as their main reason for wanting to travel only with adults; this topped this list of in-flight pet peeves in the same survey.
The poll involved over 1,600 adults aged 18 and up who had traveled by plane in the last two years. The participants were asked what part of flying had annoyed them the most in recent trips, ticking off items from a list. “Loud children” was picked by 63% of travellers, with “other passengers reclining seats” coming in second at 61%. Other annoyances included non-allocated seats, poor airline food, and lack of legroom.
Those who had …

Now imagine how much better it is to be visiting on a motorcycle, with the wind blowing against your face, sights, sounds and smells unmuffled by rolled up, tinted windows.
