American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and Hawaiian Airlines are joining forces at Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), bringing the terminal’s total oneworld Alliance members to 10. By joining American in Terminal 8, Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines will help make travelers’ days smoother for a more streamlined airport experience. 

Hawaiian Airlines has begun Terminal 8 flights

Hawaiian Airlines began flights out of Terminal 8 on April 22, with a route to Honolulu (HNL). Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines plan to relocate all operations to Terminal 8 by October, including the moving of gates, ticket counters, and other customer services. Inside the terminal, passengers can enjoy easier connections and world-class lounges. Soon, travelers will have access to more than 60 restaurant and shopping choices via a comprehensive redevelopment program, conducted by American, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) Airports.

The Art of Doing Nothing in Kyoto
the art of doing nothing in kyoto hanami street

My first trip to Kyoto was an exhausting three-day bender. I rose at 5 a.m. to see the sunrise from Fushimi Inari, spent a small fortune Ubering between temples, and probably snapped a terabyte’s worth of photos of geiko, monks, and monkeys. I departed the ancient city with the nagging feeling that I had simultaneously seen everything and nothing—a regret akin to rushing through a magnificent dinner.

When I returned this past summer with my girlfriend, I kept in mind Kipling’s advice to the traveler: “The first condition for understanding a new country is to smell it.” With the UNESCO sites safely ticked off, I wanted to savor Kyoto slowly. Mornings in coffee shops with a book. Afternoon strolls through Gion to admire art, watches, and antiques. Dinners at out-of-the-way izakaya, perhaps followed by nightcaps at bars recommended by waiters. Like a Heian roué, I would lounge, loiter, and lollygag my way through Kyoto.

Canyon de Chelly: A Beautiful Place With a Powerful and Tragic History
Peter Horan

From the rim of Canyon de Chelly, the view is almost impossibly beautiful. Sheer red sandstone walls plunge hundreds of feet toward a green ribbon of cottonwood trees and cultivated fields. Ancient stone dwellings cling to narrow ledges high above the canyon floor. It’s the sort of landscape that makes you reach for your camera before you’ve even begun to understand what you’re looking at.

But Canyon de Chelly is much more than another spectacular Southwestern landscape. People have lived here for nearly 5,000 years, and unlike most of the great archaeological sites of the Southwest, this is still a place where families live, farm, and maintain deep connections to their ancestral homeland. It’s also the setting for one of the most tragic chapters in American history.
