Try 5 of Austin’s most beloved restaurants without even leaving the airport
These restaurants will make your time spent at the airport a little better
A busy day in the austin airport

The Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is the best of both worlds - it's small enough that you can make it to your gate at a leisurely pace yet big enough to offer a slew of iconic Austin staples for any passersby to enjoy. You can buy a record at Waterloo's or grab something to read at BookPeople, which are two local favorites. But it's the Austin airport restaurants that make me show up a solid hour earlier to have enough time for a delish meal.
These five eateries are absolutely worth visiting during your time in the actual city of Austin, but it's nice to know you have a convenient alternative if you're just passing through the fine-food-laden Texas town.

Going to Yosemite National Park just got a whole lot easier
Now's your chance to bypass Yosemite's reservation system
Yosemite National Park water and mountains

Going to Yosemite National Park just got a whole lot easier with the elimination of their reservation system for the rest of 2024. The National Park Service originally intended to extend the reservations until October 27, but due to lower-than-expected crowds, they've already pulled the plug. Park officials highlight that the entrance fee of $35 entrance will still be required, but not to worry. Refunds will be automatically issued to those who purchased one of these reservations.
Yosemite National Park removes reservation system

The first version of Yosemite's reservation was first introduced in 2020 to promote social distancing from COVID-19. Initially, it was meant as a temporary measure, but since Yosemite sees around 3.8 million visitors per year, they decided to keep it in place. Many national parks have seen a huge increase in visitors, which in turn crowds the roads and facilities, and makes it difficult for them to protect the environment and infrastructure. These newest versions of the system was designed to try and mitigate the negative effects.

Do you need compression socks for air travel?
Should compression socks be on your travel gear list?

If you've ever flown on a long-haul flight, you’ve probably noticed people pulling on long, tight socks. These are likely compression socks, and they’re not just a fashion statement – they serve a purpose. The question is: do you need compression socks for air travel? 
Why use compression socks for air travel?

In an airplane cabin, you’re often immobile for hours, sitting in a confined space. That’s when blood can pool in your lower extremities due to the cabin's lack of movement, gravity, and lower air pressure. The socks work by creating pressure on your legs, which pushes the blood back to your heart, helping to prevent circulation issues. This helps prevent the pooling of blood in the legs, which can reduce the risk of conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), leg swelling (edema), and general discomfort from sitting for long periods.
Who should wear compression socks on flights?
