1 ~~~ The Destination You Should Visit in 2022, Based on Your Zodiac Sign ~~~ 170 Astrocartographer Maya White looks to the cosmos for answers. Astrocartography is a branch of astrology that shows the exact positioning of the planets at the moment you were born. The premise is that the earth holds a resonant memory of this celestial alignment; knowing your map can help you understand why you feel happier in some places than others. Anyone can produce a free astrocartography map online, but you’ll need a professional like astrocartographer Maya White to actually decode it. “I first got into astrocartography because I needed help understanding my own life,” says White, who purchased her first astro map in 1976 after spotting an ad in a horoscope magazine. She became a certified practitioner in the late ’80s; now she offers private readings, online learning programs, and astrology retreats. “If you have an accurate time and place of birth, it’s just amazing what information comes out,” she says, noting that it helped her understand where she should live (currently Florida) and also where to travel (she went to India, for example, because her Sun and Uranus lines crossed there). Climate preferences, work, social environment, and family always factor into her readings. “There is no value in me telling somebody to move to South Dakota if there’s no way they’d do that,” she says. She also pinpoints so-called “trainwreck zones,” areas of the world where certain planetary lines might make for a less-than-stellar experience. Though nothing beats a personalized reading, your star sign alone can offer insight into the types of trips you enjoy most. We asked White to share destination suggestions for where to go next based on the 12 zodiac signs—because it’s never too soon to start planning.

4 ~~~ These are the 10 best places to live in the world ~~~ From quaint Nordic hubs to Canadian cities, these destinations promise a high quality of life The idea of moving abroad is always appealing, whether you want to live somewhere with a better quality of living or simply have an insatiable appetite for travel. But where to start? It may help to look at some ironclad data. Enter the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) Global Liveability Index 2022, the latest annual ranking of the best places to live in the world, which scores 172 cities in five categories: stability, Healthcare, Culture and Entertainment, Education, and Infrastructure. For the past two years, EIU’s rankings have been largely driven by the Covid-19 pandemic, with lockdowns and social distancing measures affecting scores for culture, education, and healthcare in cities across the world. The 2022 report seems to signal a return to pre-pandemic trends, although several other factors – particularly Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – have caused some regions to fall in the rankings. So what exactly are the most livable cities in 2022? Looking at the top 10, metropolises in western Europe and Canada reign supreme – but those in Australia and Japan rank high as well. (And before you even look, be warned that zero UK cities made the cut.) Counting down, here are the 10 best places to live in the world. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/best-places-to-live-in-the-world?28 July 2022 |

5 ~~~ These are the worst airports in the world for flight delays and cancellations right now ~~~ Looking for a seamless airport experience? You may want to think twice about your departure point of choice Bleary-eyed after midnight, I reloaded the United Airlines app for the umpteenth time, desperately hoping my 8pm flight to London Heathrow, now scheduled for 1.30am, would finally start boarding. Instead, I received a text at 12.39 am that the flight had been cancelled. Perhaps it shouldn’t have come as a surprise. It was 1 June – just days into the summer travel season – and I was at Newark Liberty International Airport, one of the world’s top airports for flight cancellations at a time when on-time departures have become unicorns in the current realities of international travel. While the time of day can play a major role in flight disruptions (my prime-time departure didn’t help my odds), the airports themselves may be an even more crucial factor, as certain ones have recently developed a track record for frequent cancellations. Aviation intelligence company FlightAware compiled new data revealing which international airports have had the most cancelled flights from the period of 27 May until 31 July 2022, to help travellers better plan for smooth journeys. Here are the worst airports in the world in terms of flight cancellations – plus some alternative facilities to fly into instead. www.cntraveller.com/article/worst-airports-for-cancellations#20 August 2022 |

6 ~~~ 10 airport hacks to help you survive the 2022 travel chaos ~~~ From packing to airport security, an air travel expert shares their best travel tips for making your next flight as easy as possible You can’t read or watch the news at the moment without hearing horror stories about the travel industry. In so many cases, the criticism from frustrated travellers looking forward to their first business trip, holiday or family reunion in some time is completely justified. While it’s been disappointing to read the government blame the airlines for the current operational challenges – given that they ended the furlough scheme when passenger numbers were down 55 per cent and the industry was still experiencing rapidly changing travel restrictions – ultimately, today’s traveller has bought their ticket in good faith and wants to get away as seamlessly as possible. Having worked in aviation for 17 years, from starting at the check-in counter to being senior cabin crew and now managing our people department, I have definitely witnessed my fair share of delays, long queues and passenger meltdowns. So far this year I have travelled about once a month, some for work, and others for holidays, and I have of course noticed the difference not just in the logistics of travelling, but also in the travellers themselves. Pre-pandemic, most of us were so used to just jumping on a plane like a bus and thinking nothing of it, but now we’re either having to remember the processes, adjust to the new requirements, or both. All of our colleagues in the terminals and on board the aircraft are working tirelessly with great kindness and professionalism to iron out as many negative experiences as possible. To further help relieve those stressful situations and save time, here are some handy common sense hacks that every traveller should know about. www.cntraveller.com/article/manage-airport-stress25 July 2022 |

7 ~~~ How early should you get to the airport? ~~~ It’s best to give yourself some extra time before your flight — here's how early you should get to the airport if you want a stress-free trip There have always been two types of travellers: those who get to the airport extra early and those who cut arrival times as close to take-off as possible. And our editors fall on both sides of the spectrum of this eternal debate. But the truth is that nobody likes to waste time. So what are the exact recommendations for how early you should get to the airport? A few key factors can help flyers to hit that timing sweet spot. First, how big or busy is the departure airport? Given the travel chaos happening around the world right now, but especially in Europe, travellers would be wise to allow more time than usual. Review the airline’s guidelines and check-in requirements – often, for domestic and short-haul flights you’ll be expected to arrive at check-in two hours before, and at your gate an hour before departure. Arrival time can also be judged based on when you’re flying. Is it a busy time of year or day? Do you have access to faster queues because of your ticket type? Are you travelling with a family of five, and therefore should plan in more time? What would be the cost of missing the flight? For those who like to play with risk, know how restrictive the ticket and airline are. You may need to read the fare rules associated with your ticket to determine this. We spoke with Laura Lindsay, Skyscanner’s Global Travel Expert, who shared her tips to ensure you don't need to make a mad dash through the airport. www.cntraveller.com/article/how-early-should-you-get-to-the-airport18 July 2022 |

12 ~~~ These countries have lifted all coronavirus travel restrictions ~~~ These are all the destinations that currently have no Covid-related entry requirements. This list is being regularly updated Since 2020, we’ve all needed to stay on top of the Covid-related rules for different countries – from where you can travel without a vaccine to which destinations require a Covid booster jab for travel. By spring 2022, however, a handful of European countries (including the UK since Friday 18 March 2022) have lifted all restrictions relating to coronavirus and travel, allowing international visitors to enter without proof of vaccination, a negative test, recent recovery or even filling in a passenger locator form. These are the places that have dropped all such rules – although, of course, we still recommend following UK health advice, including having your Covid vaccine and booster if you are able to. www.cntraveller.com/article/countries-without-covid-restrictions#26 July 2022 |

16 ~~~ How Airports Are Using Biometrics so You Can Spend Less Time Waiting in Lines Make a reservation for TSA and check your luggage using biometric scans. Maddie Winters, a travel agent and blogger, usually racks up around 75,000 to 100,000 frequent flier miles a year. With that much time spent in airports, she relies on her memberships in programs like TSA PreCheck and Clear to save time at the airport. “[Having those memberships] makes me think I can show up at the airport later since I avoid most lines at security,” says the New Jersey–based traveler. However, on a recent trip from Los Angeles to Hawaii, a line stretching the length of the terminal to check a bag nearly cost her an on-time departure. That all-too-common scenario is one of the issues that airports, airlines, and government agencies are hoping to solve with a burgeoning amount of biometrics, the category of technology that includes fingerprint, retinal, and facial recognition scans and helps travelers skip over lines. “Each of us is different physically in many different ways, from the spacing between our eyes, the sound of our voice to the patterns of our fingerprints,” explains Rob Mungovan, COO at Aware, a biometrics software company. “Biometrics measures these differences and records them. This comparison of physical characteristics can be a much more secure authentication method than those used in most contemporary solutions, such as passwords.” Since the onset of the pandemic, biometrics have proliferated in hubs across the country as a faster—and touchless—option at each stage of the air travel journey. One particularly notable new initiative is a pilot program between Delta and TSA, with a new biometric-enabled bag-drop designed to provide a seamless, low-touch experience that should take less than 30 seconds. www.cntraveler.com/story/how-airports-are-using-biometrics-so-you-can-spend-less-time-waiting-in-lines#15 November 2021 |

Rumblings of a railway renaissance have been swirling recently, thanks to a growing interest in sustainable transportation. And with new tracks being laid and upgraded trains to look forward to, there’s even more reason to take the scenic route. More travelers are eyeing ways to not only make their future trips stress-free but also more eco-conscious. Countries like Scotland and Spain have announced plans to roll out zero-emission hydrogen-powered trains, which is in step with the European Union’s commitment to doubling high-speed rail use by 2030 and tripling it by 2050. The rising interest in rail vacations recently led Google to expand its search options for train schedules in select countries like Germany, Spain, and Italy. While iconic passages like the Trans-Siberian Railway have long offered travelers an exciting way to traverse the countryside, new rail adventures are popping up around the world. Whether you’re planning to reduce your carbon footprint or dreaming of a sumptuous sleeping car, these routes may entice you to get on board with train travel once and for all. www.cntraveler.com/story/new-train-routes-were-excited-about?28 October 2022 |
