Savannah ranked among top U.S. destinations with a ‘Foreign Feel'
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — To uncover the most sought-after U.S. destinations with a 'foreign feel,' Turn The Page Travel commissioned a survey of more than 3 thousand travelers to discover which of these towns they would most like to visit.
And Savannah made the Top 5.
'Founded by British colonists in 1733, Savannah blends British and French influences. We can see it in its cobblestone streets, historic mansions, and elegant public squares. Designed by General James Oglethorpe, the city's grid layout mirrors European planning traditions. Landmarks like the Regency-style Owens-Thomas House and Telfair Academy showcase British architectural elegance, while French Huguenot influence adds to its charm. Visitors can stroll beneath Spanish moss-draped oaks, explore centuries-old homes, and dine in European-inspired cafés, making Savannah a picturesque Southern city with a distinctly European feel.'
Helen, Georgia — nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains and renowned for its annual Oktoberfest — came in at Number 9 on the list, followed by Beaufort, S.C. at Number 11.

American Airlines Is Giving Onboard Service a Major Upgrade
American Airlines Is Giving Onboard Service a Major Upgrade originally appeared on Parade. Attention all traveling foodies: American Airlines is rolling out a deliciously major upgrade. The airline is celebrating some of its popular summer travel destinations with a new European-inspired in-flight dining menu beginning June 11 for customers flying in Flagship Business, a Flagship Suite Preferred seat, or a Flagship Suite seat on select European routes. Routes that will feature the menu include Paris (CDG) and Nice (NCE), France; Rome (FCO), Venice (VCE), Naples (NAP), and Milan (MXP), Italy; Barcelona (BCN) and Madrid (MAD), Spain; Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC), Germany; London (LHR) and Edinburgh (EDI), United Kingdom; and Dublin (DUB), Ireland. The menu items inspired by France are ratatouille and a porcini short rib paired with polenta and blue cheese, while the Italian-inspired menu features an herbed short rib with pea risotto and pan-seared halibut with fingerling potatoes. Would it be a German menu without schnitzel and spaetzle? American Airlines isn't taking that risk, adding both to the menu with potatoes and blistered tomatoes accompanying the schnitzel, and grilled zucchini, cremini mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes joining the spaetzle. The theme continues with the Spain-inspired menu items, going coastal with a mar y mar paella and a seared sea bass served with squid ink rice, while the U.K. is represented with mustard-crumb lamb served with turnips, peas and baby carrots, and a peppercorn short rib with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. That's not the only change being implemented, as the airline is now giving customers more time to make their pre-order selections by adjusting the pre-order meal window to 20 hours before departure, giving them four additional hours than they currently have to select their in-flight meal.

The new signs include a QR Code, which links to the City's . The page has a link to the oceanfront safety map that shows water hazards or advisories in real time which give citizens information that could potentially be lifesaving. Each sign includes details about red flag warnings, rip currents, and general beach safety precautions. 'The signs allow better language access along the Oceanfront and an ability to get the same safety information if some beachgoers don't read or speak English,' said Rob Gramkowski, EMS assistant chief – special operations. 'The signs ensure we are keeping everyone as safe as we can.' 'By adding a second language, it's inclusive and allows more people to pay attention to a warning,' said Drew Reibel, Sandbridge lifeguard supervisor.
