| | “Which seat should I pick?” That’s one of the first questions anyone ever asks me when they find out I’m an aviation journalist. Airlines are increasingly finding ways to squeeze a bit of extra cash out of passengers for a bit of extra comfort, and seats with more legroom are part of that. On the plus side, that means you don’t have to be an extra-special Ultra Amethyst Elite frequent flyer to buy your way into the big (legroom) leagues! | | |
 | | 10 hangover cures from around the world | | When it comes to hangovers, science is firm, if a little dull, on what to do the morning after the night before. Regular imbibers know that the evidence-backed ways to counter the effects of excessive alcohol include downing lots of water combined with electrolyte supplements, buoyed by judicious use of painkillers. However, a review of hangover remedies from around the world indicates that there are much more interesting ways by which merrymakers can ease their pain. They may not be scientifically proven but who says science is always right? | | | | | |
 | | Why I won't give up on Sri Lanka and you shouldn't either | | “Welcome to Sri Lanka!” was one of the first greetings I heard in Colombo, the country's bustling big city.

 | | The Philippines for beginners: 7 first-timer fails to avoid on your trip | | The Philippines is a relatively easy travel destination by Southeast Asian standards. English is widely spoken, and the country has an endearing don't-worry-be-happy vibe, soothing for first-time visitors.

 | | All aboard: Greece’s scenic train journeys | | When it comes to train travel, Greece rarely springs to mind. The country’s relatively limited rail network means it doesn’t appear on any ‘epic train journeys’ lists, and because of this a number of its amazing—if short—stretches of railway remain unknown to the wider train-loving community of travellers. | | | | | |
 | | California's top experiences | | From towering redwood forests in foggy Northern California to perfectly sun-kissed surf beaches in the south, this 'Golden State' alongside the Pacific simply begs to be explored. Come for the landscape, stay for the sensational meals, and glimpse the future in the making on America's creative coast. | | | | | |
 | | Alternative isles: nine intriguing lake islands | | The ocean doesn't have the monopoly on islands. Some of the world's loveliest and most culturally significant islands are actually surrounded by freshwater. Formed by sedimentation, erosion or volcanic activity, these islands can be huge (Manitoulin Island in Canada's Lake Huron is over 1000 square miles) or teeny (Phantom Ship, a craggy rock column in Crater Lake that's a mere 500 feet across and resembles a ghostly schooner in the fog). | | | | | |
