‘Business class' for half the price of others, but no lie-flat seat
The Airline: Jetstar Route Sydney to Seoul, flight JQ47 Frequency Four flights a week (plus three from Brisbane) Aircraft Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner Class Business; seat 3F Flight time 10 hours, 11 minutes. We depart 30 minutes late and arrive 45 minutes behind schedule Checking in I'm connecting from Melbourne, so I have an early morning departure. Jetstar does not check bags through from domestic to international connections, which means collecting my luggage in Sydney and catching the free airport bus to the international terminal (you can also take the train, but you'll have to pay at least $7.30 to go one stop). At the international check-in, business class passengers have a dedicated lane, and there's no queue. The same can't be said for security and immigration, with the queue, hundreds of metres long, wrapping around the whole terminal. It moves along at a reasonable pace, but eventually I, like many others, am advised by staff to skip ahead lest we miss our flights. Baggage Business class passengers are given some reprieve from Jetstar's notoriously stingy (and strictly enforced) baggage limits – up to 30 kilograms of checked luggage and 14 kilograms of carry-on.

7 Exciting New Airline Routes Launching from the US This Summer
The summer travel season is nearly upon us—and there has never been a more exciting array of destinations for US travelers to fly direct to. The International Air Transport Association estimates that 5.2 billion people will take to the skies this year, a 6.7% increase from 2024. As travelers gear up for what could be a record-breaking summer, the airline industry is responding by introducing a diverse range of new routes. According to aviation analytics company Cirium, there will be approximately 5,000 more airline seats flying between the US and Europe this summer compared to 2024. US airlines like American, Delta, United, and JetBlue are at the forefront of the expansion, adding new routes as well as increasing service to popular European destinations like Venice, Madrid, and Lisbon. Italy alone will have 14 new routes from the US this summer—but it's not only Europe that's seeing a boost in air connectivity. Thanks to these direct flights, you can forget about lengthy layovers and puddle jumpers on your summer vacation. Whether you want to travel to Iceland or Shanghai, these are seven exciting new flights from the US. Washington Dulles to Venice Starting May 22, 2025, United Airlines will begin seasonal daily nonstop flights from Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE). Utilizing a Boeing 767-300 aircraft, the new route will complement United's existing service from Newark Liberty International Airport. Newark Airport Flight Delays and Cancellations: What Travelers Need to Know Flying in or out of Newark Airport? Here's the latest travel guidance, plus a breakdown of what's causing the mass delays and cancellations. Though summer is peak travel season in Venice, the city has recently taken several steps to curb overtourism, including by levying a tourism tax for day trippers in 2025. As with many popular destinations, the best times to avoid the crowds at attractions like St. Mark's Square, Doge's Palace, and the Rialto Bridge are during the early mornings and late evenings. Travelers can also find quiet corners in less-visited districts like Castello or Carnareggio. For a convenient home base, stay at the Rosewood Hotel Bauer, set to debut in 2025 following a multi-year renovation of the historic building steps from St. Mark's Square. Chicagoans will get a new daily non-stop flight to Madrid this summer on American Airlines.

This daily nonstop flight will be operated on the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.
