If all you want for Christmas is Mariah Carey, we have some great news for you. Mariah Carey will be teaming up with event booking platform Bucket Listers for the third year in a row to organise the so-called Mariah Carey Holiday Bar. 

“The holidays are my favourite time of year, and I love finding new ways to share the magic with my fans. This year, we’re making my holiday bars even more fabulous and bringing the celebration to more cities than ever before! Think festive cocktails, wall-to-wall sparkle, and plenty of surprises. I can’t wait for everyone to celebrate with us,” Mariah Carey said in a press release.

Although it will not be the first edition of the Mariah Carey Holiday Bar, it will certainly be the biggest as of yet. Compared to 2025, the number of locations will be doubled. Moreover, aside from seven cities across the US, the pop up event will also be going international for the first time ever with a location in London.

As one might expect from a Mariah Carey-themed bar, all pop ups are set to include a touch of music. Aside from classics such as ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’, visitors will also get the chance to listen to the singer’s latest album ‘Here For It All’.

Yet it doesn’t stop there. According to Bucket Listers, fans should be prepared to step inside a winter wonder-world of Mariah Carey, including twinkling lights, seasonal decor, and charming atmosphere. The bars will all feature a life-sized Christmas window front for festive photo opportunities.

Moreover, visitors of the pop ups will get the chance to write a letter to Mariah Carrey and to send some holiday cheer directly to the Queen of Christmas. They will also gain access to Carrey’s all-new holiday merch and limited-edition vinyl records, available only this season, and to a selection of holiday cocktails including Mariah’s very own Black Irish. Finally, the bars all feature a full food any and will organise a holiday-worthy brunch every weekend.

At the moment of writing, tickets for the Mariah Carey Holiday Bars have not yet been made available. However, fans can already sign up for the presale by leaving their details on the web page of their preferred Holiday Bar location(s). The bars are expected to open over the course of November. 

Following the information shared by the event, general admission tickets are standing room only, with limited seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests aren’t guaranteed seating. Each reservation is for a 90-minute festive experience, after which guests will be gently reminded to wrap up their holiday magic.

“Overshoot is not surrender. We can still keep it as small and as short as possible – and bring temperatures back below 1.5 degrees by the end of the century,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated. 

Although a 1.5°C overshoot compared to preindustrial levels was the main goal of the Paris climate agreement in 2015, a UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report from earlier this year established that objective was no longer feasible. The organisation estimated global heating would reach at least 1.8°C.

Global warming will overshoot 1.5°C in the coming years. There’s still a chance to bring temperatures back down, but the window is closing fast. This is the point of return. #EmissionsGap https://t.co/VDXkg0JPtQ

— UN Environment Programme (@UNEP) October 21, 2026

However, the newly-published Emissions Gap Report 2026: The Point of Return paints a scenario in which the overshoot could be limited to 1.7-1.8°C around the middle of the century before returning to 1.5°C by 2100. If the guidelines put forward in the report were to be followed, UNEP estimates the chance of success at around 50%.

“Every additional fraction of a degree and additional year of warming above 1.5°C increases climate impacts and risks, such as the deadly floods, heatwaves and wildfires that have plagued many nations this year. So, we must pull out all the stops to minimize peak warming and return to 1.5°C by the end of the century. This is possible,” said Inger Andersen, Executive Director of UNEP.

According to the report, a return to a 1.5°C overshoot by the end of the century would be possible if global greenhouse gas emissions were to be reduced by 18% by 2030, 45% by 2035 and 69% by 2040, all relative to 2025 levels. However, to reach these emission cuts, the world would have to go above and beyond the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which would only reduce emissions by 5-8% by 2030 and 11-15%  by 2035, relative to 2025 levels.

While this may sound ambitious, the report leaves room for optimism. According to the researchers, there have never been as many opportunities to accelerate action. Compared to 2015, when the Paris Agreement was adopted, renewable energy has boomed, the total energy supply from coal and oil has grown slower than initially projected, and climate policies have cut emissions in many places.

“We have a wealth of success stories showing that emissions can be cut quickly. It is now up to nations to urgently put in place policies that spark fast, deep and sustained emissions reductions, and put the world on track for a more stable climate and more stable economies and societies,” Inger Andersen added. 

However, if the current policies were to continue, global warming could reach 2.8°C before the end of the century and would continue to increase afterwards. That number would be limited to 2.6°C if all NDCs were delivered and similar efforts were to continue. Even in the most optimistic scenario, if all NDCs plus additional net-zero targets were to be achieved, global warming would only be limited to 2.1°C in this century. Due to the withdrawal of the US from the Paris Agreement as well as revised estimates of historical emissions, the projection has worsened over the past year.

According to the UNEP, keeping peak warming below 1.7 to 1.8°C will quickly become impossible if no urgent action is taken. Every five years of CO₂ emissions at current levels push peak warming up by around 0.1°C.

The report comes shortly after August 2026, which proved to be the world’s joint hottest month ever recorded. As the global average surface air temperature reached 16.96°C, temperatures climbed 1.65°C above the estimated 1850–1900 pre-industrial average.

The news follows a preliminary investigation, which included an analysis of the risk assessment reports submitted by Booking.com in 2026 and the preceding three years, information published in its transparency reports, and the company’s replies to the Commission’s formal requests for information sent on 23 September 2025 and 26 May 2026.

According to a European Commission spokesperson, the research revealed that the number of scams reported on Booking.com rose by 500 per cent between 2022 and 2024, with fraud totalling 4.2 billion euros in 2024. 

According to the European Commission, Booking.com may have breached the Digital Services Act (DSA) on three specific subjects.

Firstly, the Commission will examine whether the provider of Booking.com has properly identified and assessed the systemic risks linked to the dissemination of illegal content. Fake listings, such as for non-existent properties, impersonation fraud, and non-compliant accommodation offers may have negative effects on consumer protection. The investigation will also assess whether the platform has put in place effective measures to mitigate these risks, including by removing fraudulent and non-compliant listings.

Secondly, the investigation will determine whether the provider of Booking.com has diligently assessed and addressed the risks that phishing scams pose to consumers. The research will focus on risks related to the way reservation and guest data is shared with accommodation providers, and the design and functioning of Booking.com’s messaging service. The Commission will also examine whether the company has put in place sufficient safeguards to prevent data from being misused to carry out phishing and solicit fraudulent payments.

Finally, the Commission will investigate whether Booking.com complies with the DSA’s advertising transparency obligations. Accommodation providers can make their listings more visible in Booking.com’s search results by paying a higher commission but users should be able to clearly recognise that these ‘boosted listings’ are in fact advertisements. 

Booking a holiday should be exciting, not risky. Europeans deserve to book with confidence, knowing platforms are taking their safety seriously. We’ll make sure they live up to their responsibilities. More: https://t.co/PdRBQHxfJN https://t.co/PaxZGfGH6J

— European Commission (@EU_Commission) October 21, 2026

The Commission will also examine whether, for each advertisement shown on Booking.com, users can easily see who is behind, who paid for it, why they are seeing it and how they can change the settings that determine which ads they see. This matters as under the DSA, users are entitled to understand when, and on whose behalf, an ad is shown to them. Without this, they cannot tell whether a listing appears prominently because it matches their search or because the accommodation provider paid for that visibility.

“Europeans should be able to book their holidays without fear of being scammed. The Digital Services Act sets clear responsibilities on platforms to address these risks, and we must ensure that the leading booking platform in Europe takes those responsibilities seriously,” said Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, in a statement.

Now that the formal proceedings have been opened, the Commission will carry out an in-depth investigation while it will also be able to take further enforcement steps, such as interim measures and non-compliance decisions. Moreover, through the investigation, the Commission is empowered to accept commitments offered by Booking.com to remedy the matters subject to the proceedings.

If the Commission finds Booking.com to have broken the rules and if the platform refuses to change its policies, the Commission could impose fines amounting to up to 6% of the company’s turnover.

As 2026 is slowly but surely coming to an end, many people are already looking ahead. Travellers in particular are starting to become excited for 2027 and planning their next trips as airlines, train companies, and other industry stakeholders are announcing numerous novelties for the year to come.

National Geographic, too, is getting ready for 2027. The organisation has just published its yearly ‘Best Places in the World to Travel to’ list, featuring no less than 25 destinations across the world. From adventurers to cultural-minded city dwellers to culinary enthusiasts, the 2027 ranking features something for every kind of traveller.

“Our audience, and travellers in general, are looking for their travel to be meaningful and enriching in some way, so we also really look for places that deliver something that feels like it’s going to add to the experience and give you a bit more. People’s leisure time is so precious − it is one of those things that none of us feels we have enough of. That’s why I think our list is really focused on trying to find places that deliver that for people across a wide range of interests,” Nathan Lump, National Geographic editor-in-chief, told USA TODAY.

The 25 best places to visit in 2027

In order to decide which destinations made the 2027 selection, National Geographic started by asking the question to its community. Writers, reporters, photographers, videographers, National Geographic explorers, editors, and staff members all submitted their favourite destinations for the year to come, which resulted in a list featuring hundreds of proposals. 

By carefully going through every submission, the National Geographic editors eventually managed to narrow it down to just 25 destinations. According to Lump, all finalists must have a certain wow factor to them, while the final list must show a good range of geographies, special interests, and passion points.

The 2027 list thus features destinations from across the world, from the US to Armenia and Japan. History fanatics can discover the birthplace of the American railroad, Baltimore, while creative wellness offerings await at Grenada.

As far as Lump is concerned, the destination that stands out the most is Kuélap in northern Peru, a destination that only a few people have heard of. 

“Is a really interesting pre-Incan site that has only recently become more accessible to visitors. It was built by the Chachapoya people in about 500 BC, and it’s an incredible feat of engineering. They’ve got like human-shaped sarcophagi perched on a cliffside, and it’s like one of those really mysterious places that most people have probably never heard of It’s a really, really fascinating place,” he told USA TODAY.

National Geographic also gave its readers the chance to vote for a Readers’ Choice Best of the World destination. Catalina Island, located at an hour-long ferry ride from Long Beach in California, came out as the winner for 2027.

In what is the largest network expansion since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Lufthansa Group has announced it will be adding numerous flights to its schedule over the course of 2027. Lufthansa, Discover Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Brussels Airlines, Edelweiss, and ITA Airways have all announced to be expanding their offers in 2027.

“The world moves a little closer for Lufthansa Group customers in the summer 2027 flight schedule: a total of ten new destinations and even more new connections represent not only the largest route expansion across our six Lufthansa Group hubs in a long time, but above all a promise to our guests: even more choice, even better connectivity, and even shorter journeys to what drives people — meeting business partners, family and friends, and exploring the world together with them,” says Stefan Kreuzpainter, Senior Vice President Commercial Customer Offer.

Lufthansa

Some of the most important flight schedule expansions will take place at Lufthansa. 

From 28 March 2027, Lufthansa will operate a daily flight from Frankfurt to Tokyo-Narita (Japan). This complements the airline’s existing daily services from Frankfurt and Munich to Tokyo-Haneda, with a second Tokyo airport served daily. Lufthansa will also seasonally resume the direct Frankfurt–Nagoya (Japan) connection from 29 March 2027. 

From 5 May 2027, Lufthansa will connect Frankfurt with Columbus three times per week on a nonstop basis. Lufthansa will thus become the first and only European airline with a nonstop connection to Columbus.

Furthermore, from 3 August 2027, Lufthansa will launch the new Munich–Phoenix route, the first direct connection to any Lufthansa Group hub, which will operate three times per week. 

As a new European destination from Frankfurt, Dubrovnik (Croatia) will be served by Lufthansa again on a daily basis. 

In addition, the airline is increasing frequencies to, among other destinations, Cape Town (South Africa), Chicago (US), São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro (both Brazil), Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore (all four India, Singapore, and Montreal (Canada). The Frankfurt–Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) route, which is being added to the schedule in October 2026, will continue through Summer 2027 and be expanded to a daily departure.

SWISS

SWISS is expanding its offerings in the summer of 2027, when demand from its passengers is particularly high. The recently introduced connection to Bengaluru in southern India will remain part of the summer schedule and the service to Tokyo-Narita (Japan) will be expanded.

Within Europe, the airline will be adding Toulouse (France) to its route network, connecting Zurich with the southern French city twice a week from 25 June to 23 August. At the same time, SWISS is increasing frequencies to popular destinations in Europe, including Budapest (Hungary), Hamburg, Paris, Nice (both France), Bremen, and Niš (Serbia).

Austrian Airlines

From June to September 2027, Austrian Airlines will be adding a direct Vienna–Beirut (Lebanon) route to its offer. 

Other popular destinations will once again be back on the planning. Mauritius and Malé (Maldives) will continue to be served until 22 April 2027 and 25 April 2027, respectively, while Tokyo-Narita (Japan) and Shanghai (China) are back on the schedule from the very start of the summer 2027 timetable.

Across the Atlantic, Austrian’s Summer 2027 schedule will once again feature services to New York (JFK and EWR), Washington, Boston, Chicago, and Montreal, while Los Angeles will return to the network as of April 2027.

ITA Airways

ITA Airways will further expand its network with the launch of a new direct service between Rome Fiumicino and Caracas, broadening its international offering and strengthening connectivity between Italy and Venezuela. The new route will commence operations on 30 March.

The company will also expand its domestic network. Starting on 28 March 2027, the new Rome Fiumicino–Verona route will enhance connectivity between key Italian regions.

Brussels Airlines

Brussels Airlines launches Cairo as a new destination in summer 2027. The Belgian airline will connect Brussels with the capital of Egypt five times weekly. After the successful launch of Kilimanjaro in summer 2026, Brussels Airlines will increase its flights to this Tanzanian airport to three times weekly.

On the European network, Brussels Airlines adds Evenes in Norway to the summer schedule, after a successful launch of sales for the 2026/27 winter timetable. Other European destinations with increased frequencies are Porto (Portugal), Heraklion and Zakynthos (Greece), and Funchal (Madeira).

Edelweiss

Edelweiss is continuing to expand its flight offerings on several long-haul routes. Seasonal flights to Windhoek will begin as early as March 16, while the number of flights to Zanzibar, Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), Malé (Maldives), and Tampa Bay (US) will be increased.

Discover Airlines

Discover Airlines is expanding its Canadian network with the launch of its first-ever nonstop service from Frankfurt to Edmonton in June 2027. Alongside Calgary and Halifax, Alberta’s capital will become the airline’s third destination in Canada.

With the addition of two flights to Windhoek, service to the Namibian capital will increase to five weekly departures from Munich in next summer’s schedule.

Meanwhile, Eurowings will announce its summer flight schedule at a later date.

With new routes, returning destinations and increased flight frequency, Lufthansa Group’s summer 2027 schedule marks its most extensive network expansion since 2020.

VINCI Airports, the leading private airport operator in the world, managing the development and operation of more than 70 airports located in 14 countries, has experienced a slight decrease in passenger traffic. According to the company, geopolitical disruptions in Asia and high kerosene prices continued to impact traffic at certain airports.

However, the negative effect on the passenger numbers was almost entirely offset by a strong momentum of numerous platforms in Europe and Latin America, highlighting “the network’s sound geographic diversification and its resilience to cyclical shocks”.

Strong numbers

VINCI Airports’ data show that several airports in its network continued their growth trajectory over the course of 2026. 

In Europe, Budapest’s airport recorded very high passenger traffic during the summer period (up 12% when compared with the third quarter of 2025). The increase was caused by an expanded flight offer by Wizz Air and Ryanair to Southern Europe. Meanwhile, Belgrade airport confirmed its dynamism and role as a regional hub, with strong performance on routes to Western Europe. 

At Edinburgh airport, traffic growth during the third quarter of 2026 was driven by increased capacity from airlines such as Ryanair, easyJet, and Jet2, particularly to Mediterranean destinations. In Portugal, too, strong performance continued: Porto and Faro stood out, with significant increases in passenger numbers this quarter (up by 7.1% and 3.7% compared to 2025).

Moreover, in the Cabo Verde archipelago, airports recorded a notable increase in traffic which was driven by the strengthening of connections with Europe, in particular through new routes operated by easyJet and TAP.

In Mexico, traffic growth was driven during the third quarter pf 2026 by strong domestic flights between regional airports. Meanwhile, Salvador Bahia airport in Brazil confirmed its rise as a regional hub following investments by the airline GOL. In the Caribbean, Dominican Republic airports saw significant growth thanks to connections with Spain, other islands in the region, and Latin America.

Industry difficulties

However, geopolitical disruptions also continued to impact traffic at some airports across VINCI Airports’ network.

In Asia, tensions between China and Japan again weighed on the trends of Japanese airports in the network (down 8.8% compared with 2025). Cambodia, too, recorded a decline in traffic, linked to decreased demand from China and Thailand. 

In Chile, Santiago Airport saw its traffic contract, mainly due to unfavourable fuel price trends and flight adjustments for the Southern hemisphere’s winter season.

Finally, the decline in traffic at London Gatwick continued but eased over the third quarter (down 2.9%). According to VINCI Airports, the trend reflects the continued effects of the restructuring of the medium-haul offering of low-cost carriers, partially offset by strong results during the summer, particularly to Spain, and by the five new aircraft based by the company Jet2.

Every year, Virtuoso, a leading global network of luxury and experiential travel agencies, publishes its so-called Luxe Report. The survey combines trends spotted by 3,100 advisors across more than 50 countries in order to portray the travel behaviour of affluent travellers worldwide.

Looking towards 2027, Virtuoso’s network considers Greece to be the most popular luxury honeymoon destination of the year. Moreover, country ranked fourth among the world’s most popular luxury travel destinations for 2027 behind Japan, Italy and France and ahead of Spain, which rounded out the top five.

“Greece took the top spot for 2027, ending Italy’s long-standing lead, while Italy remained in the top five and France also placed in the top 10. Together, the results point to strong demand for destinations that combine romance with culture, cuisine and opportunities to build a more varied itinerary beyond the traditional beach escape,” Misty Belles, Vice President of Global Public Relations at Virtuoso, told Euronews.

Among the reasons listed for Greece’s popularity, the local food, history, and culture are mentioned alongside the spectacular natural scenery and the romantic atmosphere.

According to Kayla Zeigler, Founder and Travel Advisor at Destination Europe, an affiliate of Virtuoso, newlyweds are however starting to look beyond Greece’s most popular destinations. Instead of visiting busy tourist hotspots, affluent travellers are choosing for lesser-known areas such as Paros, Milos, and the Athens Riviera. While beautiful hotels and exceptional serviceremain at the heart of the ultimate luxury honeymoon experience, authenticity, privacy, and a genuine sense of place have become increasingly important. 

The 10 most popular luxury honeymoon destinations for 2027

1. Greece
2. Bali
3. Maldives
4. Italy
5. French Polynesia
6. Japan
7. Fiji
8. France
9. Thailand
10. South Africa

Whether it is in Greece or in other destinations, newlyweds are increasingly opting to travel outside the high season and to destinations where they are less likely to encounter mass tourism. In Italy, for example, Ischia is taking over Capri on the Amalfi Coast and Piedmont and Umbria are gaining in popularity compared to Tuscany. In France, Paris is no longer the main destination, as affluent couples are choosing to discover other regions including the Provence and the French Riviera. 

As the summer months become increasingly hot and dry, newlyweds are seeing the advantages of planning their honeymoon in April, May, October, and even November. With less crowds and more opportunities to go and discover the country, the off-season is showing a wide range of advantages.

Finally, according to Zeigler, “luxury today is becoming less about extravagance at every turn and more about choosing where to splurge, creating meaningful experiences and having the time and freedom to enjoy them.” By opting for tailor-made, local experiences and smaller-scale hospitality businesses, affluent newlyweds are choosing uniqueness over grandeur.

Since its opening in 1983, Imperial Hotel Plaza Tokyo has been a luxury shopping haven. Yet cityscapes change, consumer behaviour evolves, and the building is currently lying vacant while awaiting demolition before the reconstruction of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo tower.  While the demolition had initially been scheduled for 2024, the works have been postponed until 2031 due to rising costs.

Instead of leaving the building as is until then, the former commercial centre is now set to temporarily house a cultural centre known as Not a Museum. To make the project possible, hospitality brand Nota – known from initiatives such as Not a Hotel – and Tokyo creative collective SKWAT – which already runs SKWAT Kameari Art Centre – will be joining forces.

From the Summer of 2027 until 2031, the cultural space will be taking over the first, second, third, and fourth floors of the building. The two companies will be in charge of the entire project.

“Since 1983, Imperial Hotel Plaza Tokyo has been a source of cutting-edge fashion and culture. Not a Museum aims to keep on that storied legacy with a new project that highlights the best of contemporary Japanese culture. Art, music, books, cinema, and fashion: an experimental ground for the future where diverse forms of expression converge, allowing you to experience culture as it unfolds,” Not a Museum explains on its website.

A post shared by NOT A MUSEUM (@nota_museum)

The core concept of Not a Museum will be ‘Culture in the making’, meaning the accent will be put on the process instead of the final product as would be the case in a normal museum. Nothing has been shared as of yet about the artists who will be participating in the project.

Not a Museum is the second project that is part of Not a City, part of the wider Nota brand. The aim of the company is to make the most of unused spaces in Tokyo, especially those which are awaiting deconstruction and are thus temporarily standing vacant.

Another Not a City project is Japa Valley Tokyo, a “visionary art, retail, and hospitality precinct” designed by Nota creative advisors producer Pharrell Williams and fashion designer Nigo. The project will be set on a plot of land left empty since the demolition of two buildings from the 1960s.

“Inspired by California’s Napa Valley, Japa Valley Tokyo will be a new tourist hub that combines the best of Japanese food, fashion, and culture. The setting for the project is Yurakucho Park, which Mitsubishi Estate is currently developing in front of Yurakucho Station as a temporary space before it commences construction on a new major building complex,” Not a City explains.

Japa Valley Tokyo will be open for a limited period beginning in 2027, covering one hectare of ground and featuring artwork from KAWS, event spaces, and pop-up stores.

Organised by Brussels Museums, the city’s museum federation, the annual event brings together major institutions and smaller venues for a programme developed in collaboration with emerging artists. From 7:00 pm until 1:00 am, visitors can explore familiar collections in a different setting and discover museums they may not previously have visited.

Brussels City Hall joins the programme for the first time this year, offering an opportunity to discover its interiors after hours. Other participating venues range from Autoworld and Train World to the House of European History and the Musical Instruments Museum.

The evening combines access to collections with creative activities, inviting visitors to experience museums as spaces for performance and participation as well as exhibition. The involvement of emerging artists adds another dimension to the event, bringing new interpretations and contemporary perspectives into the participating institutions.

Art, workshops and music after dark

Across the participating locations, the programme combines exhibitions with activities and performances, giving visitors several ways to experience the collections beyond a conventional museum visit.

At the Art & History Museum, an open studio will invite participants to explore modern Inuit art through practical experiments with colour and form. Drawing inspiration from its clean lines, simplified silhouettes and contrasting shapes, visitors can work with watercolour pencils or try a simple block print using a woodcut and watercolour.

The activity offers an opportunity to respond creatively to the exhibition, experimenting with soft colour gradients, pigment and contrasting forms rather than simply observing the works on display.

The Fashion & Lace Museum will host a workshop called “The Texture of Scent”, while the Belgian Museum of Freemasonry will offer a DJ set combining contemporary house music with samples from CEDOM’s Masonic audio archives.

The variety of activities makes it possible to build an evening around different interests, whether photography, history, fashion, transport or contemporary art. With 28 venues taking part, the event also offers a chance to move between institutions and experience different sides of Brussels’ cultural scene.

The six-hour programme leaves room for several stops, although the range of activities means visitors will need to make choices. Individual venue schedules provide a useful starting point for deciding which exhibitions, workshops and performances to prioritise.

Afterparties at Botanique and C12

The museum programme finishes at 1:00 am, but the evening continues at two afterparty venues for those with the appropriate ticket.

At Botanique, the programme spans club music, trance, pop and neoperreo across three stages. C12 will host Berlin-based Hyperaktivist, whose psychedelic-tinged techno will be accompanied by sets from Laura Charlier and Keyser.

In the smaller C11 space, RaQL will bring deconstructed Latin club sounds, alongside NMSS and Vera Moro. The afterparties extend the event’s combination of cultural discovery and nightlife beyond the museums themselves.

Tickets and transport

Presale tickets are available until 16 October 2026. A standard ticket costs €18 and includes access to all 28 participating venues, shuttle buses and the Noctis night bus network.

A combo ticket costs €29 and also provides access to the afterparties. On the day of the event, prices rise to €22 for a standard ticket and €33 for a combo ticket.

The organisers’ online programme provides details of the activities at each venue, allowing visitors to choose their stops and plan an itinerary before the evening begins.

Although the Winter season hasn’t begun just yet, airlines and holidaymakers alike love to plan ahead. Ticket sales for the Summer of 2027 are thus already starting to take off, so no better time to launch a series of new flight routes.

Budget carrier Ryanair has launched 29 routes for the Summer 2027 so far and is already speaking of a bumper schedule. The airline will cover 2,500 routes across 230 destinations, delivering a myriad of options for its 214 million annual customers across Europe.

“Ryanair is pleased to launch the first 29 new routes of what is set to be a bumper Summer 2027 schedule, giving our cost-savvy customers an early opportunity to start planning next year’s getaways. These are the first of our new Summer 2027 routes to go on sale, with more exciting additions to be announced as Ryanair continues to expand Europe’s largest route network. Customers looking to secure the lowest fares for their Summer 2027 travel should head to the Ryanair app/website and book now to get ahead of the curve,” said Ryanair CMO Dara Brady.

easyJet, too, has announced a selection of new routes departing from the United Kingdom. For its 2027 expansion, the carrier seems to be concentrating its efforts on Spain, launching no less than six new routes. easyJet currently serves 22 UK airports, offering more than 650 routes to 139 destinations from the United Kingdom to Europe and beyond.

“We’re delighted to be offering 18 new routes and package holidays for summer 2027, which shows our commitment to providing customers across the UK with more choice from their local airport. Our Spanish network is greatly expanding with six new routes from the UK, including Girona for the first time, and we’re also further strengthening our presence in Scotland, where we’re already the largest airline, with six new routes from Aberdeen and Edinburgh Airports,” said Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager. 

Aside from easyJet and Ryanair, other airlines, too, are planning on extending their schedules for the Summer of 2027. American Airlines, United Airlines, and Azerbaijan Airlines are among those planning to add direct flights to and from Europe.
