This week, Air France made an exciting announcement, adding a nonstop trip between Paris and Las Vegas to its summer schedule. From April 15, the airline will offer thrice-weekly flights between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) aboard a state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900.

From timeless Parisian charm to the thrill of Las Vegas

The new route flies on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Flight AF56 departs CDG at 1:40 p.m. and touches down at LAS at 3:35 p.m. (local time). In the other direction, flight AF57 takes off from LAS at 5:50 p.m. and lands at CDG at 1:05 p.m. the following day (local time). Las Vegas will be Air France’s 19th U.S. destination and its 26th in North America.

Nicolas Henin, General Manager, North America at Air France-KLM, said: “We are thrilled to announce our 19th destination, a new nonstop service between Las Vegas and Paris, expanding Air France’s presence in the United States. This exciting new route will connect travelers from Las Vegas and the greater Southwest to Paris and our extensive global network across Europe and beyond. We look forward to welcoming our customers aboard our state-of-the-art Airbus A350 and offering them the exceptional elegance, comfort, and service that define the Air France experience.”

Steve Hill, President and CEO, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), added: “Welcoming Air France to Las Vegas is a proud moment for our city. Linking Las Vegas with Paris and Charles de Gaulle marks a significant milestone in strengthening our global reach. This new route not only makes it easier for travelers from France and across Europe to experience the energy and excitement of Las Vegas but also reflects the shared global appeal that unite our two world-class destinations.”

The Palouse: America’s Most Underrated Scenic Drive
Waterfalls, barns, and the wide open spaces the West is known for. All at the tip of your fingers in the Pacific Northwest
Field, Grassland, Nature

When Americans talk about spectacular landscapes, they usually mention the obvious headliners: the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Rocky Mountains, or the dramatic coastlines of California and Oregon. Far fewer people have heard of the Palouse, a remarkable agricultural region straddling eastern Washington and western Idaho.

That is a shame because the Palouse is one of the most visually distinctive landscapes in North America—and one of the most rewarding road trips you can take in the Pacific Northwest. I have visited this area several times, both as a destination in its own right and on my way through to the Idaho Panhandle.

Inside Gordon Ramsay’s spectacular new London restaurant in the sky
From skyline views to Gordon's famous fried chicken, Lucky Cat delivers on every level
City, Urban, Metropolis

I'm not saying Gordon Ramsay is the reason I booked a dinner reservation in London.

But after my partner and I binged Being Gordon Ramsay on Netflix earlier this year, visiting Lucky Cat suddenly shot to the top of our list.

London has no shortage of rooftop bars. Florattica still stands out
This East London rooftop bar proves you don't need to be 50 floors up to impress
Bar, Person, Candle

London does not need another rooftop bar. The city has them stacked on top of skyscrapers, tucked behind hotel lobbies, and squeezed onto buildings where you'd swear there isn't room for a bar, let alone a view. So when a new one claims to be worth your evening, it has some convincing to do.

Florattica, perched on the 11th floor of Canopy by Hilton London City, did the convincing. It just recently picked up its first PIN from The Pinnacle Guide, and after a night spent working through its cocktail menu (slowly, responsibly, mostly), it's easy to see why.
