For the top destinations of 2018 based on proprietary booking data, Costa Rica (Liberia and San Jose), Rome, and London were all among the top 10. Results also showed that visiting a place they’ve never been before is a travel goal of over 57% of Americans in the coming year, 52% enjoy the memories created by getting lost and stumbling upon a restaurant, shop, or place, and 41% view receiving a room upgrade as one of the most desired surprises. View more of the survey’s results here.

Air Travel Changes to Come in 2018

travel talk 2

Just when you thought the airlines were done with surprises! Below are some of the most notable changes for air travel in the coming year:

  • Southwest will begin offering flights to Hawaii .
  • More major airlines are continuing to jump on the band-wagon of offering basic economy. Be sure to read the fine print of your airfare prior to booking or avoid basic economy altogether by booking with a travel agent.
  • By downloading the Delta Airlines App and entering your trip details, you can be automatically checked-in for your trip (after all, this is 2018). We definitely won’t miss those early wakeup calls to manually check in at the 24-hours mark!
