If you’re used to travelling, then you’re probably all too familiar with how frustrating it can be to wait for your flight at the airport. Fortunately, by stopping at the right airport, you can get some rest and relaxation and perhaps even have some fun while you wait for your flight. Here are the most luxurious airports where you can be while you wait for your connecting flight.

Dubai International Airport

Are you someone who loves the idea of unwinding in a tranquil airport lounge? Well, with over 30 lounges, Dubai International Airport has more than enough options for you. When you’re not sipping cocktails on a comfortable sofa, you can peruse a wide variety of fashion boutiques as well as a champagne bar. What’s more, there’s also a five-star hotel for those in need of sleep during a longer layover.

London Heathrow

With a seemingly endless array of luxury brands on sale, Heathrow is a shopper’s paradise. With an enormous concentration of lounges, this airport is also home to several 4- and 5-star hotels within a three-mile radius. There’s also the Voyager Entertainment arcade that will help you kill some time.

Singapore Changi Airport

Renowned for its enormous indoor waterfall, this Singaporean gem is home to an array of entertainment attractions, including CLIMB@T3, where you can enjoy indoor rock climbing, and the cactus gardens, where you can breathe in some nature. There is also plenty to do for kids, including play areas, DIY projects, and interactive puzzles.

The Japanese capital is known for its eclectic mix of high-tech gadgets, traditional clothing, and futuristic fashion. The Ginza neighborhood of Tokyo is home to some of the world’s most luxurious shopping destinations, including Chanel and Louis Vuitton stores. For those looking for something more affordable, Harajuku and Shibuya offer a vibrant street fashion scene with quirky boutiques and vintage shops.

Armani Hotel Dubai

Another top pick is the Armani Hotel Dubai, located in the iconic Burj Khalifa tower. This stylish hotel was designed by fashion designer Giorgio Armani and features chic rooms, a luxury spa, and a selection of gourmet restaurants.

Just because we are experiencing a pandemic, it doesn’t mean travel has stopped completely. You can still travel locally and enjoy a staycation in a neighboring state or city. That means you need a travel bag, and here are our top three picks for 2020. 

Black Hole® Wheeled Duffel Bag (Patagonia, $409)

For duffel bags, our top choice is the Black Hole style from Patagonia. This versatile duffel bag is easy to pack—as the entire top zips open—and it contains some mesh dividers. On top of that, the bag has wheels and a pull-up handle, which transforms it into an easy-to-pull wheelie bag. We all need to be environmentally conscious, which is one of Patagonia’s ethos—and this bag is made from recycled materials. 

Boxford Travel Bag (Longchamp, $410)

If you have been looking for a stylish weekend bag, then the Longchamp Boxford bag is a clear winner. It features the classic leather accents associated with the brand, and the waterproof body that has made the bags famous. There is enough space for a couple changes of clothes and a toiletry bag. 

Maxlite 5 (Travelpro, $118)

For those on a budget, the Maxlite 5 is an excellent soft shell wheeled bag. It meets the airline industry’s size restrictions for cabin baggage, and it contains enough storage the contents of the bag won’t move around in transit.

Grab your bag, and head off on a staycation!

With more than 100k followers on Instagram, Carmen Edelson lives up to her status as a full-time luxury travel influencer. Specializing in luxury and family travel, she launched her blog-turned-brand Carmen’s Luxury Travel in 2013, after some encouragement from a close friend who urged her to document and share her envy-inducing experiences around the world.

Her brand is now dedicated to those of us who like to indulge in the finer things in life. Those include reviews and recommendations on exclusive beach hotels, small luxury hotels, weekend spa escapes, cruises, gourmet restaurants—and everything else you need to live your best life.

Her recent blog posts include a Recipe for the Perfect Summer Road Trip and a post dedicated to Glamping in Montana.

“The best piece of travel advice I’ve ever been given relates to packing!” she relayed in an interview with Travel Awaits. “My friend once told me to pack everything I absolutely want to bring on a trip…and then take half of it out! Also keep in mind that if you’re packing something you never wear at home, chances are you won’t wear it on your trip.

“Thankfully, we are more than halfway through 2020,” she shared in a recent Instagram post. “Here’s hoping next year brings healing, positivity…. and a LOT more travel!”

And while international travel is still discouraged, Edelson has already won us over.

With traveling next to impossible, you can’t blame us for being greedy. Forget traveling on a budget, our next vacation is all about luxury. Our tour guide? Misha Gillingham from the travel blog, Wildluxe. With a tagline like “luxury travel meets the great outdoors”, you know we’re pumped up!

“Wildluxe was born out of an immense passion for adventure and a desire to share my explorations with others,” explained Gillingham in an interview with Husskie. “It was not something that I thought would turn into a business. At that time, making an income off of blogging was pretty unheard of.”

Now, with more than 20k followers on Instagram alone, Wildluxe is considered one of the top luxury travel blogs in the world, combining luxury hospitality and exploration of the great outdoors. With special focus on video content (her own “luxury show”, as she puts it), Gillingham’s posts take you within the luxurious resorts themselves, making you feel as though you yourself are experiencing these over-the-top places.

“I must admit I’ve always been fascinated by luxury hotels and all of the things that go into creating that perfect five-star guest experience,” says Gillingham. “There are so many variables involved and I just love when it is executed flawlessly. It’s an art form and I want to give people a closer look at it.”

One of the most classic movies of all time is To Catch a Thief, starring Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. Not only do these stars ooze with glamour and elegance, but the setting makes us green with envy.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BgFgdSWDNC2/?tagged=tocatchathief

Look no further than the Cannes coast in France, where Cary and Grace take their iconic  drive and romantic picnic (see recipe here).

The Carleton Hotel, where the couple stayed, is an absolute luxury destination. This is not the vacation for travelers on a budget or looking for “local charm” but is a drop dead gorgeous experience full of decadence and glamour.  

Additionally if you have the time and resources, the Cannes Film Festival is the cinematographic event of the year (occurring annually in mid May), with sneak peaks at each year’s most aesthetically appealing and stimulating films.

Either way, Cannes has plenty of beautiful views of the coast and the French mountains.

United Arab Emirates

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are true paradises, but the prices will make your head spin.

If you like tropical locations, the Bahamas might be worth the high prices they have there.

Norway

They do have big paychecks, but the prices aren’t small either.

Singapore

The country is the biggest population density has to have high prices to make up for the crowdedness.

It takes a lot of effort and money to transport everything that far away!

Look no further than the Cannes coast in France, where Cary and Grace take their iconic  drive and romantic picnic (see recipe here).

The Carleton Hotel, where the couple stayed, is an absolute luxury destination. This is not the vacation for travelers on a budget or looking for “local charm” but is a drop dead gorgeous experience full of decadence and glamour.  

Additionally if you have the time and resources, the Cannes Film Festival is the cinematographic event of the year (occurring annually in mid May), with sneak peaks at each year’s most aesthetically appealing and stimulating films.

Either way, Cannes has plenty of beautiful views of the coast and the French mountains.

It’s not easy when you want to move from your current country. However, be careful where you move or else your wallet might regret it!

Luxembourg

This small European country is sometimes the epitome of luxury. The prices follow suit as well.

Qatar

Part of a series of the bustling hub in the Middle East, Qatar is not for those with shallow pockets.

United Arab Emirates

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are true paradises, but the prices will make your head spin.

Bahamas

If you like tropical locations, the Bahamas might be worth the high prices they have there.

Norway

They do have big paychecks, but the prices aren’t small either.

Singapore

The country is the biggest population density has to have high prices to make up for the crowdedness.

Iceland

It takes a lot of effort and money to transport everything that far away!

Hong Kong

This lively and amazing hub is a great way to experience both a fast life and high prices.

Switzerland

Luxurious is the middle name of Switzerland.

Bermuda

But those beaches are priceless.
