@gcmap I used to do mileage runs between my home airport and Cairo; I never forgot the closeness between IAD-FCO-CAI and IAD-CAI -- they're separated by 1m!

Business class onboard @Delta 's recently refurbished fleet of Boeing 767s is an impressive experience, especially when traveling between Hawaii and the East Coast. Here's a rundown of what you can expect: https://t.co/vBoGuLY25B

"Why does travel suck right now?" It's a legit question, and this edition of The Daily Flyer explains why and why you should care, and shares tips for recourse. Plus coverage on: the #Schiphol crisis, the best airline brand, and a @TravelFake shout out. https://t.co/TgkzMZIdJD

Memorial Day weekend in the United States marks the unofficial beginning of summer. This #PhotoOfTheWeek celebrates a popular summertime activity, albeit shot in a dramatic environment. https://t.co/QC1SQwyjWT

Spring is in the air - or summer for those in the eastern United States who are suffering a heatwave - and this #PhotoOfTheWeek reflects it. Cheers to outdoor adventures! https://t.co/aUHhWP9MM3

We appear to be turning a COVID corner once and for all, and travel is ready to return. Perhaps you've noticed: prices are skyrocketing right now. This #PhotoOfTheWeek entry reflects these expensive times. https://t.co/r1HHTyuJFF

This #PhotoOfTheWeek entry captures couples socializing together, albeit still distanced from one another. With Dr Fauci's pronouncement that the United States is out of the pandemic stage, scenes blending the old with new normals should be more common. https://t.co/n5a0LVbemw

Happy #EarthDay! It's become near cliche to say climate change is real, and it's imperative that we work collectively to curb its impact on the world at large. The #PhotoOfTheWeek reflects the urgency of the crisis. https://t.co/XZt1CxQnb2

#MLB today is celebrating the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's debut; the pioneering ballplayer broke baseball's color barrier, and fundamentally changed sports in the United States. The #PhotoOfTheWeek entry is in his honor, too. https://t.co/dmzr09TRW6

#Spring is coming and this entry in the #PhotoOfTheWeek series reflects the status quo: we’ve been in a dark place, but a sunny future awaits. https://t.co/CYUJo9pudC

This entry to the #PhotoOfTheWeek was shot in #Hawaii; don't worry, Mom - it's nowhere near as dangerous as it looks! If you find yourself on Oahu, be sure to check this view out at Makapu'u Point #FlyHigher https://t.co/DuNwyvlJuW

This #PhotoOfTheWeek highlights a jarring juxtaposition in North Florida: a vibrant stretch of row buildings sit in the shadow of a faceless corporation's headquarters. https://t.co/tHYDmzV5uS

Happy St. Patrick's Day (plus one)! While this #PhotoOfTheWeek was shot in San Francisco (hopefully that's not too blasphemous) and not Ireland, there's still plenty of spring green to go around. Cheers! https://t.co/xERgohpEt6

Like the impending time change, The Higher Flyer will be springing forward in the coming weeks with new and improved content. #FlyHigher! https://t.co/gnj8VCFz2n

This week marks a momentous occasion in the US: the declaration of Juneteenth as a public holiday, which honors the freeing of slaves in 1865. This gesture is important, but there's still work to do for future generations; this #POTW entry pays tribute. https://t.co/LgrDjtY0zk

This weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer, and what better way to celebrate the change in season by going to the beach?! If you need inspiration for where to go, here's South Pointe Park in legendary Miami Beach. https://t.co/scbhtckQdx

This photo of the week entry offers an interesting juxtaposition: a barren hill that's otherwise springing to life. It serves as a pretty obvious metaphor too for the state of affairs (and perhaps as an inspiration for a great American road trip). https://t.co/OsyEAnuV3t

Spring is here and baseball is back. Fans are allowed to attend games --they're kept socially distant in most places - as cases around the country fall. Scenes like these capture what's a comforting return to normal; here's to many more photos like this! https://t.co/OLZ9HEHnWH

COVID's clouds are breaking in many places around the world — unfortunately not everywhere yet — and the Sun is beginning to come out! It’s (soon) time for those vaccinated to #FlyHigher. This #potw reflects what an exciting prospect this is! https://t.co/VMlL3oMBpU
