Top 10 moving Memorial Day getaways

To many, Memorial Day means the unofficial start to summer, a three-day weekend for grilling and a chance to break out white clothes that have been in the attic all winter. But the holiday is more than just beaches and barbecue. It鈥檚 a time to pay tribute to those who have died in military service to our country. Originally created after the Civil War to honor the fallen Union soldiers, Memorial Day has now evolved to commemorate every American soldier and service member. Here are the top 10 destinations to celebrate and honor America鈥檚 heroes.

Best airlines for bringing sports gear

You may be headed to the best biking trails, ski runs, surf breaks or golf courses in the world, but if your trip starts off with a gauntlet of extra fees and restrictions at the airport, your vacation buzz will be killed before you even hit the fresh air. It may not sound glamorous, but picking the right airline is a key part of making your trip a good one. Not all airlines, it turns out, are created equal鈥攅specially for active and outdoors sports travelers. Sure, everyone鈥檚 bummed if their bag gets lost or a bit beat up in transit. But what about a brand new, $2,000 kayak? Or your custom skis? Or your trusty touring bike? If the very item you planned your whole trip around goes missing, it鈥檚 a heckuva lot worse than a business traveler going a day without an extra suit and tie. Mishandled baggage is probably the biggest concern for active travelers, but it鈥檚 worth taking a closer look at other airline policies, too. United Airlines may offer the cheapest fare from A to B, but by the time you pay $125 extra each way to check your bag and bike鈥攁nd shell out another $15 on sustenance at the airport, since United provides no free snacks en route鈥攊t may be a smarter option to pay for the pricier ticket with, say, JetBlue. And, of course, you'll have to pay careful attention to your particular sport. Most airlines, for example, will allow you to bring a surfboard for a reasonable fee ($50-75), but Qantas allows you to bring one free, as long as it's no longer than nine feet. US Airways, on the other hand, charges $200 each way. The same variations tend to apply to鈥攊n order from least restrictive to most鈥攕kis and snowboards, fishing poles, bicycles and, finally, canoes and kayaks (several airlines prohibit them altogether). In our quest to suss out the best airlines for carrying your prized gear, we looked at baggage policies鈥攊ncluding fees and prohibited items鈥攎ishandled baggage rates and, of course, destination offerings. It's great to have great baggage policies and no fees, but if it means you can't get where you're going, then you're out of luck. We also perused forums where disgruntled passengers report their busted gear, where we discovered horror stories of ruined $700 skis and $3,000 carbon bike frames somehow snapped like twigs, and even found people who'd gone so far as to start Facebook protest pages. Delta, United and US Airways were the most common culprits, but that's partially a product of the millions of customers they serve. Either way, we dug deep to help guide you. Here, we take a look at airline policies with outdoors sports and adventure traveler in mind. Study it. It could save you cash鈥攁nd your gear鈥攐n your next big travel adventure.

Top 10 European sleeper cities

With warmer weather on the horizon, folks are already beginning to dream about 鈥� and plan their trips to 鈥� far off destinations. Traveling abroad is an exciting adventure that can conjure up images of rich history, scenic beauty and possibly, an empty wallet. 聽There鈥檚 no doubt about it, heading 鈥渁cross the pond鈥� can be an expensive endeavor. This is especially true if you鈥檙e like most travelers who visit popular tourism hubs like Paris and London, cities with both high demand and hefty prices during the peak-summer season. However, a European summer trip doesn鈥檛 have to cost an arm and a leg if you look beyond the more established tourist cities. Earlier this year, I shared a list of my favorite U.S. 鈥渟leeper cities,鈥� a title the travel industry gives to up-and-coming destinations that feature big-city attractions without the big-city price tags. The list was so popular, and created so much conversation, that I decided to highlight similar cities for European-bound travelers. As the president of a travel company, I鈥檓 lucky enough to see trends as they develop, and I鈥檝e found that visiting an off-the-beaten-path destination is often the right mix of value, revelation and respite. These cities offer a ton of history, incredible sight-seeing and great hotel deals (most under $100 per night). Plus, more and more European properties are recognizing the benefits of working with discount hotel sites (like Hotwire) to help them fill their unsold rooms, and that includes established international hotel chains. This means you can be sure you鈥檒l get a great room for a ridiculously low price, leaving you with extra cash to spend on immersing yourself in the local culture. By visiting some of the following 鈥渟leeper鈥� destinations, you can get your European adventure for a fraction of what it might cost to visit London or Paris, all while avoiding the copious summer crowds that come along with them.
