    Fake listings and scams are very common when booking short-term holiday rentals online. Market Watch reports, despite the photographs enticing you and even the price not deterring you, you never really know whether the rental is real. The reality is, you don’t, but here’s how to spot red fla…

      One-day theme park tickets to Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Calif., and its sibling, Disney California Adventure Park, start at $104 per person, so calling Disneyland cheap is about as believable as saying an elephant can fly. But at Disneyland, elephants do in fact fly (Dumbo, anyone?) — and successfully planning a trip to Disneyland on...

          Travel points/miles could make your next trip cheaper, or even free, and many Americans could benefit from the help this year. A new NerdWallet survey finds that the majority of U.S. adults (84%) have taken or plan to take a vacation that requires a flight or hotel stay in 2023, spending $3,916, on average, on...

            Since at least biblical times, money changers have been gouging foreign visitors exchanging their currency for local shekels. Fortunately, if you're going outside the U.S. this summer, you can avoid most of the gouge. Unless you're a currency speculator, you'll almost always lose a little in exchanging your dollars for whatever, but you can keep those losses to no more than around 1 percent:

            Last seen in the Apple TV+ series “Dear Edward,” Idris Debrand is at work on the streaming site’s upcoming series “Sinking Spring,” where he plays the younger version of a character played by Brian Tyree Henry. “Ray is a complex character and we see some of the choices he’s made as a teenager and how they affect him in the present day,” said the British actor. “So [without giving] too much away, I play the reason why Ray is the way he is.” Originally from London, Debrand currently splits his time between Philadelphia and New York.

            Traveling with kids can be tough, but there is one perk to flying with those that are under 2 years of age, they fly free, sitting in their parents laps. But recently some flight attendants have begun to speak out, telling the Washington Post why they think it’s a bad idea. Veuer’s Tony Spit…

            Travel brand loyalty is nothing new.

            Even after the “revenge travel” craze of 2022, Americans are still eager to get out there. According to an email survey of its members from Going, a travel deals service, 68% of the 3,274 respondents say they plan to spend more on international travel in 2023 than they did in 2022. Yet there’s just one problem:...

            Today's giant airlines — as well as many smaller ones — make their business on connections. The pervasive "hub and spoke" route system means you can fly from almost anywhere in the U.S. to almost anywhere else with one stop-and-connection at a hub. My home airport, Medford, Oregon, is typical. If I want to fly to, say, New York, there won't be a nonstop within my lifetime. But I can get from Medford to New York with one stop/connection on four different airlines: Alaska via Seattle, American via Phoenix, Delta via Salt Lake City or Seattle, and United via Denver, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.

            For most, Positano is simply the most romantic and chic stop on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. South of Naples, the famous coast is blessed with beaches, sunshine, and picturesque towns spilling down steep hillsides. Many who visit Positano want only to shop and lay on the beach. But the tour guide in me simply must put a little historic and cultural meat on your visit.

            Steven Krueger stars opposite Christina Ricci and Juliette Lewis in the Showtime series “Yellowjackets.” “I play coach Ben Scott, who’s the assistant soccer coach,” the actor said. “When our plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness on the way to the national championships, I wind up being the only adult and one of only a few males who are stranded with a group of high school girls. Add to that a traumatic leg amputation in the aftermath of the crash and a deeply-held personal secret and it makes for a very dynamic character. I'm incredibly lucky to be part of such a rich and complex story. It's been the most challenging and most rewarding role of my career so far.” Though he’s technically based out of Sarasota, Florida, the actor said that over the past two and a half years, he has lived in Los Angeles, Vancouver and Santa Fe, as well as in Florida. “I have my car and a storage unit and not a whole lot else at the moment,” said Krueger. “It has been fun and liberating to realize I can get by with so few actual belongings.”
