Budget Travel Tips Experts for 2026 Guide – 1-29 Deadline – Travel & Leisure

QUICK TURN: For Travel + Leisure, I’m working on a story about ways to travel on a budget in 2026, according to experts. I’m looking to hear from financial/travel experts who can give practical advice in as much detail as possible — actionable tips about packing, moving through airports, eating on the road, all the various nitty-gritty ways to save on travel (that can be supported by products... stuff like investing in a refillable water bottle instead of buying single-use plastic water bottles as you go). Please respond to the prompt by email with a deadline of 1/29. **Apologies for the quick turnaround on this one during the holiday period. Here’s how to pitch: Simply respond to this email with a new subject line or pitch me at [email redacted].

Sustainable Cruise Travel Advisors & Lines for The Compass Feature

The Compass magazine: The Cruise Industry’s Movement To Become More Sustainable For a print issue of The Compass (a travel magazine for travel advisors) I’m covering cruise lines’ sustainability commitments, innovations, and long-term environmental strategies. This will be an engaging (but not promotional!) overview of what leading cruise lines are doing now—and what they plan to do next—to reduce their environmental impact. I’m looking for: - A travel advisor who specializes in sustainable travel and/or cruising to interview about how to use sustainable cruising initiatives to attract clients, and why/how to book with sustainable cruise lines. - Info from cruise lines on their latest (or upcoming) sustainability initiatives, benefits of those initiatives for both travelers and the world, and how passengers are responding to these initiatives. I’m particularly interested in hearing from Hurtigruten, Ponant, Regent, and Riviera, but I am open to hearing from any other cruise lines with info to share, as well! If you can help, please email me ([url=https://substack.com/redirect/c7d2adb8-5729-4e11-a53b-773a8a60b746][email redacted][/url]) ASAP! I’m looking to have all info and interviews by Dec. 19.

Travel Advisors with 2026 Insights on New Industry Launches - The Compass

The Compass magazine: What’s New and Exciting Across the Travel Industry My second feature for The Compass (a beautiful print magazine for travel advisors) will be a listicle that spotlights what’s new & noteworthy in each major travel category: - Hotels - Cruise Lines - Rail & Airlines - Theme Parks & Guided Tours - Any others (e.g., Travel Insurance) if there’s a meaningful update worth noting. Each item can be specific (a newly announced property, a just-revealed cruise ship feature, a new rail route) or broader (a brand-wide initiative or platform rollout). The goal is to help advisors understand what’s new and how it affects booking logistics, not to promote the launch itself (so please keep this in mind and tailor your pitch accordingly!). Keep in mind that this issue will be published in April 2026, so the launches should feel fresh for that time period. I’m also looking to interview travel advisors who have experienced early FAM trips or site visits for upcoming launches they’re really excited about. If you can help, please email me ([url=https://substack.com/redirect/c7d2adb8-5729-4e11-a53b-773a8a60b746][email redacted][/url]) by Jan. 9, 2026.
