Special hotel booking service launched for 18-year-old travellers
US-based Hotels for 18 Year Olds has launched a service targeting young adults who often encounter difficulties when booking hotel accommodations due to age restrictions.
The platform aims to simplify the process by providing information on age-friendly hotels across the country.
The service specialises in collaborating with hotels that welcome guests who are 18 years old, addressing a gap left by traditional booking sites, which frequently omit clear age requirements.
This oversight can lead to last-minute cancellations and complications for young adults, who, despite being legal adults, face age-based barriers in the hospitality sector.
HotelsFor18YearOlds.net founder Randall Barwick said: "Too many 18-year-olds are being turned away at hotel front desks or having their reservations cancelled simply because of their age.
"We're bridging this gap by creating the first platform specifically designed to solve booking challenges for young adult travellers who are legally adults but still face age discrimination in the hospitality industry."
The HotelsFor18YearOlds.net platform provides details about each property, encompassing specific age requirements and any other policies that might impact young adult guests.
Barwick added: "We're seeing strong interest from both travellers and hotel partners who recognise the value in serving this demographic.
"College students, young professionals, and other 18-year-old travellers deserve the same booking confidence that older guests enjoy."
The service caters to different travel needs common among young adults, which include internship relocations, college visits, gap year trips, and early career travel.
The platform is now live and features properties in major US destinations, with plans to broaden its network of partner hotels and include international destinations.
"Special hotel booking service launched for 18-year-old travellers" was originally created and published by Hotel Management Network, a GlobalData owned brand.

The Best Clothes for Quick Trips, According to Flight Attendants
Lea McIntyre, who has been a flight attendant for six years, has packing down to a science. Lea McIntyre While it may seem like flight attendants spend a lot of time sightseeing at exotic locales, a lot of the job involves quick turnarounds. Layovers often include hotel hang time, sleeping, a meal with coworkers, or a quick outing to shop or enjoy a nearby park. Standard protocol for packing involves checking the weather at the destination then choosing a 'change of uniform' for each day, something comfortable that can also be worn in public. Lauren Wolfe, a Denver-based flight attendant who has been on the job for four years, packs to survive living at a hotel, which means taking a workout ensemble for each day of her trip. She'll use it for lounging, a trail walk, and hitting the gym. Wolfe likes Lululemon leggings (we like them, too) because they're trendy enough for multiple activities. 'I can go for a workout and then if I need to run over to the store, I … still feel like I'm put together,' she said. These multifunctional travel workhorses are breathable, supportive, and fast-drying. Plus, they have pockets and come in three lengths. The medium-weight fabric feels cool and smooth, though the slightly brushed texture is prone to showing smudges and attracting lint. Leanna Coy, a flight attendant based in Hartford, Connecticut, who has been on the job for over two years and completed 326 flights last year, loves Gymshark leggings. She always opts for a pair with pockets. She uses them to workout, lounge, or even sleep in, pairing them with a basic top like a simple crew neck or a long-line sports bra that can be worn as a shirt. Leggings, cropped shirts and sports bras, and sandals and sneakers in neutral colors were popular among the flight attendants I spoke with, including Destanie Armstrong (left) and Lauren Wolfe (right). Destanie Armstrong / Lauren Wolfe Two flight attendants I spoke with frequently pack coordinating sweatsuits. Flight attendant Lea McIntyre, a flight attendant based in Washington, DC, who has been on the job for six years and has over 158,000 followers on TikTok, sticks to non-brand-name sweatsuits that are affordable enough that she doesn't mind leaving them in her suitcase between trips. Wolfe opts for brands like Aritzia. Coordinating sweatsuits are a no-brainer to pack. These oversize sweatpants from Aritzia pair well with a matching sweatshirt for an easy, comfortable look. A coordinating pullover sweatshirt is great for lounging around and having an extra layer on hand. You can also sleep in it. Two flight attendants I spoke with frequently packed coordinating sweatsuits, including McIntyre, shown here. Lea McIntyre McFarlane always packs both pants and shorts on a trip — that's because he once left for a trip for sunny Hawaii and instead ended up in cold Japan. He says his most versatile travel essential is a pair of stretchy, comfortable jeans; he likes the Ezy Ultra Stretch Jeans from Uniqlo. (We also recommend a stretchy pair of Uniqlo jeans in our guide to the best jeans for men.) 'I had a layover recently where I forgot to bring shirts, but I brought a pair of jeans,' he told me, 'and I just wore my uniform button-up shirt with the jeans and I was like, damn, this looks good!' Flight attendant Sean McFarlane packs versatile pieces he can mix and match, including jeans, neutral T-shirts, and white sneakers. Sean McFarlane One flight attendant I spoke with swears by these affordable, stretchy jeans, which are made from breathable lyocell with a dash of spandex. Usually, though, McFarlane remembers his shirts, typically packing a basic black V-neck, which is easy to dress up or down. (If you're looking for an inexpensive basic tee, we recommend the Bella + Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Tee in our guide to the best white T-shirts for men, which is also available as a black V-neck.) But he changes things up based on the destination and brings a button-up, tank, or sweater. For crew hangs, Destanie Armstrong, who has been a flight attendant for three years and is based in Chicago, repurposes her flowy lounge pants by pairing them with a cute top. 'Versatility is definitely the theme,' she said. McIntyre likes bodycon dresses for going out because they pack small. Most of the flight attendants I spoke with either wore oversize T-shirts or silky pajama sets from Target or to bed. 'The material rolls and folds so easily,' McIntyre told me. 'It doesn't take up a lot of space.' Layers are another consideration. 'On the plane, it's cold,' Coy told me. On personal trips, she usually brings a cardigan, even in warmer weather. For work trips, McFarlane and Armstrong often opt for a crew-neck sweatshirt. 'They're cute for casual layover vibes,' Armstrong said. Plus, you can sleep in them. Flight attendant Leanna Coy stressed wearing neutral colors. She often packs a black puffer coat, leggings, and white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers, shown here on the right. Leanna Coy As for jackets, four of the five flight attendants I spoke with opt for a puffy coat in black because it packs down easily and goes with everything. McIntyre has a bubble jacket from Calvin Klein that 'smushes down to almost nothing,' while Coy uses a packable puffer, also from Calvin Klein, which is similar to this coat. (If you're willing to splurge, we recommend this puffy, packable jacket from Montbell in our guide to the best down jackets.) Wolfe said that in her first years of working as a flight attendant, she wore heels. 'You can't function like a normal human,' she said. Switching over to loafers was eye-opening. 'I'm just so much more comfortable and mobile.' While her beloved loafers are mostly for work, every flight attendant I spoke with was all about comfort for both work and casual shoes. (Flight attendant hack: Make dressy shoes more comfortable with insoles. Wolfe uses a pair from Superfeet, which is one of our top picks.) Most packed two pairs of footwear for their layovers: sneakers and, especially in the summer, sandals. McFarlane, though, opts to pack free throwaway hotel slippers instead of sandals, but perhaps to the same end: 'You don't really want to be barefoot in your hotel room,' he said. Everyone I spoke with packed sneakers in neutral shades like black, white, or tan. Three of the flight attendants wear New Balance lifestyle sneakers, like the New Balance 740 and 530 models. Wolfe, who also has a black pair of On Cloud sneakers, says they're more practical than the other 'fashion statement' sneakers she owns. Coy packs white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers, which are also one of our picks in our guide to the best white sneakers. We're in agreement: They hit that sweet spot of comfort and style. Comfortable neutral-color sneakers are an off-hours go-to for flight attendants. A pick in our guide to white sneakers, these tried-and-true leather shoes have a storied history. They're heavier than most sneakers, but they're also comfortable and make a statement. $115 from Urban Outfitters For Armstrong, in chilly Chicago, Dr. Martens Jadon Boot Platforms are her non-sneaker ride-or-dies. 'They can be dressed up, they can be dressed down, they're comfortable, they last a long time.' And hers are still going strong after five years. They do take up precious suitcase space, so she wears them on the flight if the trip allows. A pair of black boots can dress up or down and are great for cold-weather trips. This pair has lasted one flight attendant five years. But, they're heavy and take awhile to break in. The flight attendants I spoke with travel with a range of sandals from inexpensive Old Navy flip-flops to fashion slide sandals. Wolfe's go-to for trips are thong sandals from Teva because they're comfortable and really thin, which makes them easy to fit in a suitcase. We also recommend several sandals in our guide to the best sandals, including the Teva Original Universal Slim Sandals. We love this slim-strap version of the classic rugged Teva, which has EVA cushioning, arch support, Velcro straps, and treaded soles but is more stylish and packable (if less robust) than the original. If there is any flight attendant secret, it is this: Be a minimalist, except when it comes to underwear. 'Are you even human if you don't bring, like, a million pairs of underwear?' joked Wolfe, who packs two pairs per travel day. 'Overpacking underwear allows you to feel fresher longer,' said McFarlane, who packs three pairs for a one-night layover. 'You never know when you can get stuck an extra day,' Coy told me. Armstrong, who once got waylaid in Miami for two weeks due to a medical issue, echoed the sentiment. Most of the flight attendants I spoke with bought inexpensive, bulk packs of 'work underwear,' so they could keep a bunch in their suitcase ready to go, or so they could identify them quickly while packing. (Incidentally, the top pick in our guide to the best women's underwear is an affordable pack from Hanes.) McFarlane tends to wear briefs for mobility and comfort. (If you prefer boxer briefs, we're fans of this affordable option.) McIntyre swears by no-show panties, which are made of thin, lightweight material. 'I put them in a bag and they're just balled up in there,' she admitted. 'You can smush them down to practically nothing.' She and Wolfe both like underwear from Target's Auden line. The flight attendants we spoke to recommend packing extra underwear, and they opt for affordable, thin, lightweight underwear that's easy to stock up on and easy to pack. Wolfe also brings a Skims Scoop Bralette, which she says is as easy to pack as it is to wear. (Our guide to the best bras has bralette picks for a variety of bust sizes.) Other flight attendants bring bras that do double duty, such as long-line sports bras that can be worn as tops or crop tops with built-in bras. Don't forget your swimsuit! Bikinis don't take up much space, though swim trunks can. That's why McFarlane chooses swim shorts that do double-duty as everyday shorts, like the Lululemon Swim Shorts 5" Linerless. Versatility is key for flight attendants. To save on space, one flight attendant I spoke with packed a pair of swim shorts that easily passed for everyday shorts. For personal trips, not all attendants stick to minimalism. For leisure travel, McIntyre takes two outfits per day, though she still manages to fit it all in a carry-on. Coy was the only flight attendant I spoke with who braved checking a bag on personal trips. 'I'd rather be comfortable,' she said. Plus, 'They make you check your carry-on half the time anyway.' But Armstrong told me that her job has simplified her packing, including for personal travel. Before, she said, 'I would have these extravagant outfit plans that would take up so much space in my suitcase.' Now, she knows how to dress up basics with jewelry, hair, and makeup. Besides, looking cute is no longer her top priority. 'I feel like I'm just trying to be more present in the moment,' she said. Isn't that what travel is all about?

Starmer and Trump to hold ‘one-on-one' talks at G7 in push to wrap up trade deal
Sir Keir Starmer has said he will meet US President Donald Trump for 'one-on-one' talks at a major global summit in a push to get the US-UK trade deal over the finish line. The Prime Minister said he expected the economic pact to be completed 'very soon' ahead of a meeting with Mr Trump at the G7 conference in Canada. Britain's long-coveted free trade deal with Washington was agreed upon last month but is yet to be implemented, with both sides yet to take the necessary steps to reduce tariffs. Asked whether he would be able to finalise the deal as he crosses paths with Mr Trump at the international leaders' summit in Kananaskis, Sir Keir said: 'I'm very pleased that we made that trade deal, and we're in the final stages now of implementation, and I expect that to be completed very soon.' Amid speculation that the two leaders will carve out time for a bilateral meeting between G7 plenary sessions, Sir Keir said: 'I'll be having a one-on-one with him. 'I think I'm seeing him on a number of occasions today because we're in all of the sessions together, so I'll be having a lot of conversations with President Trump.' He added: 'We will be talking about our trade deal… because that really matters for the vital sectors that are safeguarded under our deal, and we've got to implement that.' The Prime Minister is walking a diplomatic tightrope as he seeks to strengthen ties with Canada, the G7 host nation, while keeping the US president, who has repeatedly threatened to annex the country, on side. On Sunday, Downing Street confirmed efforts to revive stalled trade negotiations between London and Ottawa after a bilateral meeting between Sir Keir and Mark Carney. In warm words at the top of the talks, the UK leader challenged Mr Trump's call for Canada to become a '51st state', speaking of the importance of Britain's relationship with the country as 'independent, democratic sovereign countries'. In recent months, the UK has held a series of engagements aimed at securing a reduction in the tariffs Mr Trump imposed on Britain and the rest of the world on April 2. Along with 10% tariffs on all British goods, the president imposed 25% levies on cars and steel. He later increased the tariff on steel to 50%, but gave the UK a reprieve, keeping its rate at 25% until at least July 9. Under the broad terms of last month's agreement, the US will implement quotas that will effectively eliminate the tariff on British steel and reduce the tariff on UK vehicles to 10%. The White House has also voiced concerns about plans to build a Chinese embassy near London's financial centres, with reports suggesting the issue has been raised in trade talks. The redevelopment proposals for the former site of the Royal Mint were called in last year, and ministers will now have the final say on whether the project goes ahead. On his way to the G7, Sir Keir was asked by reporters whether he was confident the matter would not undermine efforts to complete the trade deal, and whether US objections would be taken into consideration in the Government's decision-making. He said: 'We will act in our own national interest at all times on any issue including in relation to the embassy. 'We will carefully balance what is in our national interest in any decision that we take.' Sir Keir faces a busy week of diplomacy as leaders from the world's major economies descend on a luxury mountain lodge in the Rockies amid spiralling conflict in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. As well as heads of government from Canada, the US, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is also expected to attend the conference. The Prime Minister told reporters he had a 'good relationship' with the US president, which is 'important' at a time of heightened global instability. 'I've been saying, for probably the best part of six months now, we're in a new era of defence and security, a new era for trade and the economy,' he said. 'And I think it's really important for Britain to play a leading part in that, and that's what I'll be doing at the G7, talking to all of our partners in a constructive way. 'And I'm very pleased that I have developed good relations with all the G7 leaders.'
