What we talk about when we talk about time travel: going back to kill Hitler, Back To The Future, treading on butterflies causing irreparable damage to history, Doctor Who, whether or not it’s ethical to use it to cheat on the lottery or sports gambling or whatever, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. What we don’t talk about when we talk about time travel: whether it actually exists. Or will exist. Or has existed.
The idea of being able to travel backwards or forwards through history has appeared in countless forms through pop culture, conversation and daydreams for ages, but how come we don’t discuss whether it’ll actually ever be real?
Is the the idea of time travel so beyond the realms of possibility that we don’t even consider that it could be real? Well, we’re here with good news! Not from the future, sadly, just in the grimly predictable present. A grimly predictable present that includes quantum physics, Higgs Bosons and other science-y things we don’t quite understand but apparently have something to do with a conceivable way for us to travel through time.
No less a genius than Stephen Hawking spent years looking for a reason that time travel couldn’t exist, only to find the concept didn’t contravene any laws of physics, eventually admitting “time travel may be possible, but it is not practical”.
Plus there’s that history of time travel in our culture has frequently strayed into the non-fiction – so long as you’re inclined to believe the possible crackpots that are discussing it – all of which adds up to some pretty compelling pieces of evidence that prove time travel is real.

TripAdvisor to promote destination activities with redesigned website

TripAdvisor to promote destination activities with redesigned website Activities will be given more prominence on the TripAdvisor website

TripAdvisor has redesigned its homepage with new feature enhancements that make booking every aspect of a trip more convenient for its community of travellers.

The travel planning and booking site has put particular focus on attractions, tours and in-destination activities on the new site. 

With the debut of a new "Things to Do" widget on the homepage, TripAdvisor is making it easier for travellers to discover and book attractions, tours and local activities right alongside hotels, holiday rentals, restaurants and flights.

Year-to-date, attraction and tour bookings on TripAdvisor¹ have risen 150 per cent year-over-year.

TripAdvisor has grown its attractions listings by 63 per cent during the same period as the company works to make more amazing experiences bookable through the website, along with adding a host of free venues like scenic parks and admission-free museums.

With the new "Things to Do" widget built into TripAdvisor's updated homepage, users can quickly enter their destination to discover local experiences that can be booked independently, or added to their hotel, holiday rental, restaurant or flight booking. With the continued pairing of millions of traveller reviews and opinions, the new widget will help travellers unleash the full potential of every trip.

"We're committed to improving the end-to-end planning, booking and in-destination travel experience for our users," said Jeff Chow, vice president of product, attractions at TripAdvisor.

"The tours and attractions industry has been making amazing progress in recent years, moving towards adopting the digital and mobile ways consumers book travel.

"Our goal is to accelerate this transition by delivering a world full of local travel experiences to our users, instantly bookable on a smartphone, tablet or desktop using TripAdvisor.

"Giving travellers easy access to an authentic Italian cooking class in Rome, a thrilling helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon and a guided tour of Sydney's iconic Opera House is just as important as helping them book their lodging or a flight.

"These are the elements of our travels that turn a good trip into a lifelong memory."

British Airways launches improved distribution capability with KAYAK

Google

Welcome Googler! If you find this article interesting, you might want to subscribe to our Newsletter for the latest travel news.

British Airways launches improved distribution capability with KAYAK

British Airways has launched a New Distribution Capability alongside travel search engine KAYAK.

KAYAK is integrating British Airways in its facilitated booking path by using the British Airways developed NDC.

This will enable customers to have a better booking experience by directly booking British Airways flights through KAYAK websites.

This NDC launch, which will see customers able to book both direct and connecting flights, also allows KAYAK to be the first travel company to offer customers the ability to pay for their preferred seat on British Airways flights via their site.

Previously, this could only be done on ba.com.

NDC is the International Air Transport Association's programme that improves communications between airlines, travel agents and other travel players like KAYAK, by addressing the industry's current distribution limitations around product differentiation, time to market, access to full and rich content and the transparency of the shopping experience.

Ian Luck, head of distribution for British Airways, said: "With every new adoption of NDC we see more elements launching – in KAYAK's case, the ability to book and pay for preferred seating and guarantee customers the seat they want.

"There's a great impetus behind NDC now and we're seeing real interest and engagement from the travel industry.

"It's a great way to bring our products and services to life. It demonstrates the real value that British Airways offers, including all of the elements that go in to the fare, enabling them to manage bookings in a way that was previously only available on ba.com."

Other recent NDC developments from the airline have included the ability to pre-book additional luggage, advise the airline of catering requests (pre-order in Club World and First, pre-paid enhanced meal options in World Traveller and World Traveller Plus and special meal orders), add Executive Club and On Business numbers to bookings and pay British Airways via IATA's Billing and Settlement Plan.

Annie Wilson, vice president business development Europe at KAYAK, said: "We are very excited to have British Airways integrated into our facilitated booking path.

"This is a great opportunity for our users to have a better experience by searching and booking flights directly on our sites."
