Best Cyber Monday Deals on Travel Accessories

When traveling — just like in Boy Scouts — it’s important to be prepared. Sure, being able to say you’ve scaled Kilimanjaro or dived with great white sharks (and Instagrammed it) is great, but in order to do those things, you’re going to need to do some traveling. And to do some traveling, you’re going to need to be prepared.

The could mean a lot of different things. If you’re out on a boat with your buddies, you’re probably going to want some sweet tunes to go with what is surely ample amounts of beer (and maybe even some fishing). If you’ve got three layovers and 20 hours of plane travel, you’re going to need a bag that is light but still has plenty of room for everything from a spare pair of boxers to enough gum and deodorant to keep you from being the most-hated person on the plane.

Once nearly impossible to visit, this country could soon welcome the world
Turkmenistan just got easier to visit
Turkmenistan

For most of the world, Turkmenistan remains a mystery. Landlocked in Central Asia, it’s the second largest country in the region, yet it’s one of the least-known nations globally. Part of the reason for its obscurity? Turkmenistan has long maintained some of the strictest visa policies in the world. Independent travelers could only access the country on a transit visa, typically valid for just 3 to 7 days, or by joining a guided tour that required pre-arranged, government-approved invitations.

But that may soon change. According to The Independent, Turkmenistan has passed a new law that simplifies the visa process. Under the new system, travelers will only need to fill out an online form, eliminating the need for a formal invitation. Although President Serdar Berdymukhamedov will have the final say on the specifics (including the types of electronic visas and their validity) the new process promises to make visiting Turkmenistan far easier for travelers.

Lufthansa Group monitors food waste with the Tray Tracker
Lufthansa Group Tray Tracker

Lufthansa Group’s new “Tray Tracker” uses AI to analyze and limit onboard meal returns. At the dishwashing line, the technology scans meal returns and determines whether the meal has been entirely eaten, partially eaten, or left untouched. The analysis also takes into account the cabin class, meal concept, and flight route. With that information, the airline can revise meal selections and portion sizes on future flights. Not only that, but the “Tray Tracker” can help reduce CO2 emissions by lowering plane loads and weight. Food waste is also curtailed.
