In travel news this week: smart alternatives to the world’s top tourism destinations, the Michelin restaurant that closed because it was too expensive and the plane that reached 14,000 feet after taking off with missing windows. Destination inspiration Travel tech company Expedia has announced its list of 2024 “destination dupes”: places that are smart alternatives to top tourist destinations and are often cheaper and less crowded.
Passengers noticed the aircraft was “noisier and colder than they were used to,” but the plane climbed to at least 14,000 feet before turning back. Air Canada has apologized after passenger Rodney Hodgins, a wheelchair user, made international headlines when he shared his experience of having to drag himself off a flight when it arrived in Las Vegas.
