Royal Caribbean extends its pause on calls to Labadee, Haiti
Royal Caribbean Group has removed its private destination of Labadee, Haiti, from itineraries through at least October, a continuation of a pause on visits that began in April, the company confirmed Friday. The April decision came amidst reports of surging gang violence in the country, and a spokesperson for the line said it has continued its pause "out of an abundance of caution." "We have communicated with guests directly on this change," the spokesperson said. This will be the second consecutive year in which the destination will be closed to cruises for at least half of the year. In 2024, Royal Caribbean stopped visiting Labadee in March and returned in October.

Jetstar passenger's breathtaking spot from window of Bali flight
Most people love to travel, but the act of travelling itself is not always so glamorous. Long hours in cramped seats, unexpected delays, and nauseating turbulence can take the buzz out of even the most exciting trips. However, every now and then, something happens mid-flight that turns an ordinary journey into an unforgettable one. Such was the case for a Sydney woman earlier this month, who flew to Bali on a Jetstar flight on July 16. She was treated to an unexpected yet welcome surprise as the aircraft flew over the Northern Territory, en route to the popular tourist hotspot about three hours into the journey. Hundreds of kilometres west of Alice Springs, passengers in window seats were instructed to look out the window. Their view? Australia's sacred red centrepiece — Uluru, unmistakable even from thousands of feet in the air. The woman admitted she'd never experienced anything quite like it on board a flight, and a spokesperson for Jetstar shared with Yahoo why pilots will often take the special initiative. "Their spontaneous commentary isn't scripted; it's genuine and often adds an unexpected highlight to the trip," they said. "We're proud of the enthusiasm our pilots show, not just for flying, but for connecting people with the places they're travelling to." The spokesperson said that from pointing out iconic landmarks to sharing regional insights mid-air, these "thoughtful touches reflect the pride and passion" the team bring to the journey. What other Australian landmarks are visible from the air? They revealed what other incredible, uniquely Australian landmarks jetsetters can see from the air. Travellers flying from Sydney to Bali or Melbourne to Darwin may catch a glimpse of Uluru as they cross the Northern Territory. Those heading from Melbourne to Cairns could see the shimmering expanse of the Great Barrier Reef off the Queensland coast, while passengers travelling between Cairns and Adelaide might pass over the rugged beauty of South Australia's Flinders Ranges. Sad theories emerge as popular Bali tourist spot destroyed Travellers warned as deadly disease causes alarm in Bali 'Horrible' reality millions face every time they board a flight A flight from Hobart to Adelaide can offer views of Victoria's famous 12 Apostles, and those flying from Melbourne to Canberra often cross the Brindabella Range in New South Wales. The route from Melbourne to Sydney may pass over the alpine ski fields, while the journey from Hobart to Sydney can reveal the peaks of the Snowy Mountains. And for sports enthusiasts flying into Melbourne on a northerly approach, you might spot the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) just before landing. Do you have a story tip?

The Best Way to See China? On Futuristic, Punctual, Very Fast Trains
As I rocketed out of Shanghai aboard a train at nearly 200 miles an hour, the speed reduced the trees outside my window to greenish blurs. I had the out-of-body sense that I was fast-forwarding my way through China. The ride felt decidedly more languid when I turned my attention from the window. A smartly uniformed attendant was passing out snack boxes, but I craved something more substantial and made my way to the Starbucks-equipped snack bar to order a cappuccino and soup dumplings.
