Delta now serves 66 international destinations from ATL, like its recently added flights to Brussels and Naples. That’s in addition to more frequent flights to Barcelona, Zurich, Rome, Cancun, Athens, Toronto, Barbados, and Curacao. 

Delta’s domestic schedule also keeps growing, including in its home state. That includes 20% more intra-state seats to Savannah, Augusta, Albany, Brunswick, Columbus and Valdosta.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said: “Home to the world’s busiest and most efficient airport, Atlanta’s position as a global leader for cultural and business connectivity is only enhanced by Delta’s expansion of their domestic and international network.”

“As our hometown airline and the state’s largest private employer, Delta plays an integral role in our economy through workforce opportunities, community investments and meaningful partnerships.” 

Joe Miller, VP – Airport Operations, ATL, commented: “Our growth and strength in Atlanta come from the dedication of Delta people who live our Brand Beliefs—Welcoming, Elevated, and Caring—every day. Our team’s pride, unity, and relentless drive to improve are what truly make the Delta difference.”

Copenhagen: Five days in Scandinavia’s most livable city
City, Architecture, Building

Some trips spend years on your wish list before they finally happen. Copenhagen was one of those destinations for us. We had talked about visiting Denmark for years, drawn by its reputation for clean design, remarkable quality of life, and a city where bicycles outnumber automobiles. When we finally spent five summer days there in 2026, we discovered something even better. Copenhagen isn’t just attractive—it is remarkably easy to enjoy. Everything works. Public transportation is outstanding, the harbor is alive with boats, the food is excellent, and almost every neighborhood feels welcoming, safe, and effortlessly stylish. And, in the summer, everyone is living outside and basking in the sun. This was reinforced for us when my wife chatted with an American woman who had spent the last four summers in the city with her family. She felt that it was both an exciting change from suburban America but also safe enough to give their kids a longer leash than they would at home. 

If you’re thinking about a first visit, here’s what stood out.

Copenhagen was just named the world’s most livable city. After spending half my year here, I’m not surprised.
Copenhagen

Every few months, I swap Ohio for Copenhagen.

For roughly five or six months of the year, Denmark’s capital becomes home. My boyfriend lives here, which means I’ve had the rare opportunity to experience Copenhagen beyond the typical long weekend itinerary. I’ve settled into routines that make the city feel familiar, from stopping by Netto for groceries to grabbing what I still maintain is the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had from Lagkagehuset. I’ve spent warm afternoons swimming at Ofelia Plads and Nordhavn, wandered through neighborhoods that rarely make first-time visitor guides, and discovered that some of the city’s best moments happen when there’s no plan at all.

These 2026 island getaways are surging in popularity right now
Sandals St. Lucia Grande

Expedia just released its latest set of data: The 2026 Island Hot List, a trending list that compiles the emerging islands travelers are searching for before they become the next big thing. According to the newExpedia data, interest in these rising island destinations is up 55% on average year-over-year, while social media mentions have climbed 20% as travelers look for new experiences, better value, and fewer crowds. If you ask me, this is pretty surprising to hear it’s up 55%, especially when I thought islands were already one of the most popular year-round travel destinations.

Ranked #1 on Expedia’s 2026 Island Hot List is St. Lucia, an island I first fell in love with back in 2023 when I went on my honeymoon there. Once you visit here, it’s pretty easy to see why it’s ranked the best for romantic escapes. This destination has been a popular spot for anniversary and honeymoon trips for a long time now — and it doesn’t appear to be slowing down. As travelers move beyond crowded Caribbean hotspots, many are willing to take the extra trek to destinations like St. Lucia for it’s dramatic scenery, romantic resort options like Sugar Beach, and soft adventure focus.
