A nonstop flight can be the difference between “someday” and “booked.” We kick things off with a rare seasonal win for travelers in the West: Delta’s nonstop Salt Lake City to Lima, Peru, running December through January, with round-trip fares starting around $771. Then we map out how to turn Peru into a full experience instead of a single checkbox, pairing Machu Picchu with the Amazon rainforest near Puerto Maldonado, time in Cusco, and a stay in the Sacred Valley so the trip feels balanced and unrushed.

Next, we dig into travel news that affects how you plan and what you pay. Delta is rolling out live sports streaming on international flights through onboard Wi-Fi, and US carriers are shifting strategy in Europe by adding more nonstop routes to secondary cities and leisure destinations. We talk through what that could mean for your next Europe vacation, plus a standout Fiji Airways 75th anniversary sale that can price Fiji and even Sydney at surprisingly low levels on select dates, with the option to add a Fiji stopover to break up the long haul.

Our Just Cruising segment is all about value and unusual ports. Mark shares a seven-night Celestyal cruise from Barcelona to Lisbon with stops like Gibraltar and Casablanca, Morocco, starting at $549 for an inside cabin. We also hit major cruise headlines, from Oceania’s new Sonata-class ship plans to new and returning homeports like Philadelphia and New York City, and we wrap with a money-saving reminder: carry-on rules in Europe are not universal, so check every airline on your itinerary before you pack.
