No. 1 happiest travel destination: Bali, Indonesia

Building the perfect travel wardrobe can only be achieved if you have versatile (and comfortable) pieces in your rotation. After all, you don’t want to bring your entire closet with you on every trip, right? And, you’ll want to feel good in the clothing you do choose to pack. Otherwise, you’re just wasting space in your luggage — and you won’t be a happy camper in something that’s restrictive and uncomfortable. According to Amazon shoppers, the Xieerduo Puff Sleeve Top is a summer travel must-have, and since it’s on sale right now for just $17, there’s no better time to shop.

Apart from being a best-seller on Amazon, the popular puff sleeve blouse is a favorite for its easy-to-style and ultra-cozy construction, which is achieved with its soft and breathable polyester-rayon blend.

(CNN) — Cocktail lounges, five course meals, caviar served from ice sculptures and an endless flow of champagne: life on board airplanes was quite different during the “golden age of travel,” the period from the 1950s to the 1970s that is fondly remembered for its glamor and luxury.

It coincided with the dawn of the jet age, ushered in by aircraft like the de Havilland Comet, the Boeing 707 and the Douglas DC-8, which were used in the 1950s for the first scheduled transatlantic services, before the introduction of the Queen of the Skies, the Boeing 747, in 1970. So what was it actually like to be there?

“Air travel at that

(CNN) — On an average day, more than 200,000 flights take off and land across the world. That includes commercial, cargo and charter planes — which account for about half of the total — as well as business jets, private aircraft, helicopters, air ambulances, government and military aircraft, drones, hot air balloons and gliders.

Most of them are equipped with a transponder, a device that communicates the aircraft’s position and other flight data to air traffic control, and that signal can be captured with inexpensive receivers based on a technology called ADS-B, for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast. That’s what flight-tracking websites do in a nutshell, providing users with a real-time snapshot of everything that’s in the sky (minus a few exceptions).
