We all like to complain about how awful air travel is, but it can quickly get much, much worse if you don't take the intense safety procedures seriously.

If you’re flying home for the holidays, get ready for lines of all kinds—according to a forecast by advocacy group Airlines for America, more than 47 million Americans will fly in the days leading up to Christmas and through January 5, 2020, representing roughly 2.6 million passengers a day.

When Qantas ran a test of the world's longest flight, a nonstop from New York to Sydney, Australia, the airline used a brand new 787-9 aeroplane. However, the plane only had 40 people on board (including this reporter).

You’re about to leave for the airport, assured you’ve followed your packing list to a tee, when you reach into your carry-on and panic sets in—somehow, your driver’s licence is nowhere to be found. You rummage through your suitcase and retrace your every step, but no luck.

If you're regularly on flights for work or for leisure, you'll know Frequent Flyers is a handy bonus to leave gathering when you're looking to book that holiday. But with so many flying rewards offers floating around across hundreds of airlines, it's hard to keep up with what you're entitled to and what you're not.

When it comes to flying, nobody wants to pay excess baggage fees.

Are you filled with dread by the thought of stepping foot on a plane? If so, I know how you feel. Because that used to be me.

The space agencies of Australia and the UK have announced a partnership, which they're calling "a world-first Space Bridge". At the core of this agreement is a new kind of rocket engine which could enable flights between Sydney and London in "as little as four hours". Here's what you need to know.

The thrill of the chase, the excitement of a freebie, and our innate human tendency to collect things can make frequent-flyer programs extremely attractive.

First and Business class plane tickets come with a lot of perks.
