Glamping lets travelers experience the outdoors in upscale comfort, instead of roughing it in a tent. Rather than setting up a tent and making dinner via a portable stove, guests reside in customized abodes that blend rustic and modern elements. Under Canvas is a leader in the glamping space, specializing in elegant canvas-covered dwellings set amongst stunning surroundings.

Hotel brands like Hilton and Hyatt have made recent forays into the glamping space, but now, Hyatt is doubling down with a partnership with Under Canvas, offering World of Hyatt loyalty program members more ways to redeem points and experience the outdoors in luxury. Here’s what’s included.

Across 13 destinations, Under Canvas brings unique canvas-covered abodes equipped with optional en-suite bathrooms, wood-burning stoves, king-sized beds, West Elm furnishings, and more. The safari-inspired dwellings look like a mix of teepee and cabin, with canvas stretched over wooden supports. For those looking for adventure and luxury, it’s the best of both worlds. Now, World of Hyatt members can join in, earning and redeeming points at Under Canvas properties.

Under Canvas locations include Moab, Lake Powell – Grand Staircase, Grand Canyon, and more. In the orbit of national parks, guests have a dream-like hideaway, with a mini tent city serving as a luxury outpost. Each location has distinct dining options, using local recipes and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Topping it off is nightly s’mores by the fire.

Mark Vondrasek, Chief Commercial Officer, Hyatt, said, “By adding these luxury outdoor camps to World of Hyatt, we are bringing more memorable travel experiences for our guests and members. Hyatt offers one of the fastest-growing luxury portfolios globally and with the inclusion of these incredible Under Canvas camps in World of Hyatt, we continue to double down on this focus and bring immense value to our rapidly growing member base.”

You'll have to wait until at least 2027, but what's a few years more?
Big Ben, the U.K. Parliament, and the London Eye in London, England, U.K.

If exploring an underground bomb shelter once used by spies and soldiers sounds like your idea of an exciting travel activity, and you have future plans to visit London, you're in luck! A network of clandestine passages shrouded in mystery for nearly seven decades is set to open to the public.

Exploring London's secret WW2 underground tunnels
With an area of 8,000 square meters and corridors stretching up to 7.6 meters in diameter — equal to the width of three of London's iconic buses — these World War II tunnels, also known as The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels, are located at the intersection of London's West End and the historic Square Mile. They were initially built in the 1940s to help protect the city's citizens during WW2's Blitz bombing campaign and have since been a secluded home for a number of covert government operations.

Delta Airlines might have screwed up in a big way this time

Delta Air Lines recently introduced significant changes to its SkyMiles program, aiming to simplify the process of earning rewards. While the airline's intention might have been to streamline the experience, these changes have left many customers deeply upset and dissatisfied. Not only do these alterations make it increasingly challenging for loyal passengers to enjoy coveted perks like access to the SkyLounge, but they also demand an exorbitant amount of spending to achieve and maintain status within the program.
The changes to Delta SkyMiles
Delta Air Lines, as one of the last big three U.S. airlines to make such a transition, has now definitively shifted toward a spending-based system for status qualification. On the surface, this might seem like a logical evolution for frequent flyer programs, but a deeper dive reveals the concerns that have customers up in arms.

To attain status in the new program, travelers must open their wallets wider than ever before. Delta's official website announces everything you need to know.
