Fliers are missing out on a major perk that can help them ‘relax,' travel expert says

An avid flier who has an impressive record of having traveled on 700 different flights over the last decade, half flown in business class, shared the one perk many fliers are missing out on — without even realizing it.
When someone has as much experience in the air as Dennis Bunnik, CEO of Bunnik Tours — he not only knows the best travel practices, but he knows hidden perks like how airlines have free pajamas to give out to business class fliers.
Comfort is key when on a flight, and according to Bunnik — 'There are a number of airlines that offer them, and they're fantastic,' he revealed to Business Insider in a recent interview.

'One, it keeps your clothes crease-free and clean. [And two], it helps you relax.'
Some airlines reserve pj sets for first-class passengers only.
However, according to One Mile At A Time, some airlines like Virgin Atlantic, United, Emirates, Air India and Etihad supposedly have complimentary pajamas for those sitting in business class on long-haul international flights.
Free pajamas to change into on a flight sounds ideal — especially since there are many outfit choices that experts advise fliers against wearing.
Fliers can ask flight attendants for their free pjs if they aren't offered them.

'Airlines won't always tell you this, but there's a hidden dress code,' former flight attendant and YouTube sensation Barbara Bacilieri told What's The Jam.
'And breaking it could get you denied boarding, delayed at security or worse — put in danger during an emergency.'
Skimpy outfits like mini dresses and skirts are big no-nos because they can be dangerous in an emergency.
The expert said to also avoid wearing heels and 'even metal accessories, like jewelry, or big belt buckles.'
These items can all potentially pop the evacuation slide in the event of an emergency.
Another piece of dangerous clothing that shouldn't be worn in case of an SOS flight situation is leggings because the fabric that most brands use puts travelers at risk of catching on fire, aviation safety specialist Christine Negroni explained to HuffPost.
In the event of an onboard fire, leggings 'will either melt on your skin or cause serious burns,' Negroni told the outlet.
In addition to stretchy pants being a potential fire hazard on a flight — American Airlines flight attendant Andrea Fischbach said that the popular pant choice is also very constricting.
'You want to get the most comfortable you can be to avoid cramping, swelling, and anything that can affect you later,' she told Who What Wear.

Canadian tourism industry goes on offensive, as US travelers ditch Great White North

Canada's tourism industry is going on an offensive — rolling out ad campaigns in US border states to lure Americans back to the Great White North. US travel to Canada dipped by about 10% in recent months, amid the raging trade war between the two neighbors. An American tourist looks confused as he receives a warm hug from a Canadian hotel employee in a new TV ad. YouTube/Tourisme Cantons-de-l'Est Advertisement In one TV ad running across New England and New York, an American tourist – sporting a baseball cap and matching sweater tied around his shoulders – sheepishly whispers to a Canadian hotel front desk worker that he's from the land of the free. The employee looks awkwardly towards him and presses what looks like some kind of red panic button – before bursting out a smile and walking across the desk to hug him. Advertisement Other ads take more of a practical approach, trying instead to appeal to American's pocketbooks. One billboard campaign simply reminds Americans how much further their dollar will go north of the 49th parallel. '$1 USD = $1.43 CAD,' reads the billboard from Destination Ontario, which has been spotted in Detroit and Cleveland, among other border towns. 'Spend less, do more.' Americans make up more than three-quarters of tourists to Canada. Destination Ontario Advertisement American tourists make up the bulk of visitors to Canada – last summer, 78.5%, nearly four out of five visitors to the Great White North came from the US. The drop hasn't been as dramatic as Canadian tourists to the US – who've boycotted the country en masse, leading to a 30-40% fall in air and land travel. But it's sure to make a dent in the tourism industry – according to Statistics Canada, Americans spent $15.3 billion in the country last year.

'Vacation guilt' is out. Here's how to actually tune out work and enjoy your PTO.

Have you ever been sitting poolside, sipping on a cocktail in a tropical destination, only to be abruptly interrupted by nagging worry that you weren't in this week's team check-in? "Vacation guilt" is a common occurrence among American workers, many of whom say they can't help but feel guilty when they're on vacation. A 2024 survey of more than 2,000 employed adults conducted by the communications firm Movchan Agency found nearly half of workers feel guilty while on vacation, while 63% feel anxious if they don't check their work-related messages during a trip. But there's a growing movement to embrace PTO and throw vacation guilt to the curb: The " loud vacationing" trend, increased awareness about burnout, and Gen Zers fearlessly embracing mental health days. And there's hope for those who are using paid time off to unwind, but struggle to unplug, according to Dennis Dearie, a licensed therapist at Healthy Life Recovery in San Diego. "If a person has problems with taking vacations, that's just one symptom of a bigger challenge they have," Dearie told Business Insider, adding that there are plenty of reasons a worker might feel guilty about taking vacation. Employees might have valid concerns about job security: They might feel that if someone else picks up their responsibilities while they're out, they'll be seen as dispensable or not good at their job. Others might struggle with giving up control over their work, if someone else has to step in when they're out. Dearie said some employees genuinely feel guilty that their time out of the office will burden their coworkers who pick up their slack. They might also work somewhere with a company culture that discourages time off, leading to feelings of guilt among those who do take vacation anyway. It's important to figure out what the cause of the vacation guilt is because that will help determine how to address it. Be mindful and take a look at your values For people who grind at work, being mindful about why they are struggling to unplug could be the first challenge. "They have to stop working and think about stuff that they probably don't think about," Dearie said. He said many people who focus a lot on work tend to derive a lot of value from it. Work gives them a sense of purpose and a sense of accomplishment, but focusing on work can mean other values suffer, like spending quality time with your kids or partner. It can help to take an honest look at your values and compare them to how you spend your time, Dearie said, adding you should ask yourself, "Why is unplugging valuable to me?" Plan and delegate If you are struggling not to feel guilty on vacation because of all the work that's on your plate, Dearie said it's important to plan ahead and inform your team as early as possible when you will be out. Delegate everything that needs to be done while you are gone and leave thoughtful instructions. Let clients know who they can contact at the company while you're on PTO, so you are not anxious about whether they are expecting a response from you. Support your coworkers when they take PTO If taking a guilt-free vacation is challenging for you, be supportive and enthusiastic when your team members take time off, Dearie said. Offer to take work off their plates when they are on vacation, or ask how you can help them feel confident taking time off. Helping your colleagues take time off can foster a feeling on your team that everyone is chipping in and doing their share to encourage PTO, and it can also get you an ally when you want to take time off. "You're helping the culture in your company adjust," he said, adding that you can shift company culture, at least on your team, and help set the precedence that taking time off is OK. Practice with micro-unplugging Regardless of why you're struggling to take time off, Dearie said "micro-unplugging" — or tuning out from work for short periods of time — can help you get better at it for longer stretches of PTO, too. "Everything we do is training our brain," Dearie said, adding that our brains can learn to tolerate new things, like tuning out from work, with practice. If you especially struggle to unplug, Dearie said you could start by taking a single day off in the middle of the week. Plan ahead and let your coworkers know what to do in your absence or how reachable you are. Maybe refrain from checking your work messages all day, or checking them only twice that day, or even once per hour, depending on how difficult unplugging for you is. The goal is simply to unplug for longer than you normally do, Dearie said. You can build up that tolerance over time. "It's like a vacation, but not a vacation, and it's uncomfortable. It's going to produce anxiety," Dearie said. Micro-unplugging can help bridge the gap between what a person believes — that taking time away from work is good for them — and how their brain actually responds. "They believe it's true, but it doesn't feel true," Dearie said of taking time off. "When they do these behaviors, their brain can catch up with that truth."

Chinese hotel told ‘wake-up service' of red pandas climbing onto guest beds must stop

A Chinese hotel has been ordered to end its unusual wake-up call service that involves red pandas climbing onto guests' beds after concerns for safety and animal rights. Lehe Ledu Liangjiang Holiday Hotel, a popular family resort in Chongqing, has been called on by the local forestry bureau to stop one of its most popular services. Many guests are attracted to the hotel solely for its red panda wake-up experience. The service involves bringing one of the hotel's red pandas up to a guest's bedroom in the morning, allowing the panda to roam freely around the room and climb onto the bed. Reviews online for the resort show guests checking in just so they can book the experience and get up close to cute, furry animals from the comfort of their hotel room. One British couple, Reanne and Ben, who run the YouTube channel On Tour With Dridgers, documented their experience with the red pandas at Lehe Ledu Liangjiang Holiday Hotel in April. The video shows the red panda first climbing a tree in the small courtyard between rooms before it roams through the corridor to the couple's room with a staff member, where it is given apple chunks and hops onto the bed. The YouTubers stroke the panda while it eats the apple from the palm of their hands. 'Oh my gosh, I can't believe I've got a panda on my bed,' Reanne says. Despite the popularity of the service, the Chongqing Forestry Bureau has reportedly asked the hotel to immediately cease all close contact activities between the pandas and visitors. Staff at the hotel told China Newsweek that four red pandas are kept onsite and take turns participating in the wake-up call room visits. A member of staff will lead them up to the guest rooms, and visitors are allowed to interact with them for a few minutes before the animal is led away again. There have been concerns about injury or disease transmission voiced by people online, but the hotel said that the red pandas are borrowed from a zoo, have been vaccinated and a cared for by dedicated staff. The hotel also said that young children should always be accompanied by an adult during the wake-up call session. Sun Quanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organisation, told the Global Times that red pandas are a nationally protected wild species and should not be kept as pets or for tourism-related entertainment. He added that the pandas are naturally sensitive animals, and being forced to interact with guests could trigger a stress response. The forest bureau has sent a team to the hotel to conduct an on-site investigation, and said it will release the results of this visit.
