The Newest Members of the Visa-Free Club

If you’re from Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Malta, Estonia, Latvia, or Japan, congratulations—you’ve officially hit the jackpot! No forms, no embassy queues, just a glorious 30 days of visa-free access to China.

Whether you’re planning to:

  • Climb the Great Wall (and convince yourself it’s “just like a Stairmaster”),
  • Wow your boss at a business meeting in Shanghai,
  • Or reunite with that college friend who still owes you a hotpot dinner,
    …you can now do it all with minimal fuss and maximum excitement.

But Wait—There’s a Deadline!

This sweet deal is only valid until December 31, 2025, so don’t wait too long to book that trip. If you miss the cut-off, it’s back to filling out those tedious forms and Googling “How to get a visa to China without losing my mind.”

From Trial Run to Global Success

This whole visa-free party started as a trial in November 2023, with China offering the perk to travellers from France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Malaysia. The results? A smashing success! Tourists loved skipping the paperwork, and China loved the influx of visitors.

So, naturally, they thought, Why stop there? By expanding the program to 38 countries—mostly in Europe—it’s clear China is ready to welcome even more travellers with open arms and high-speed trains.

How Visa-free Travel to China for 9 Fantastic New Countries Works (Yes, It’s This Simple)

  1. Duration: Stay up to 30 days.
  2. Purpose: Business, tourism, family visits, or even a quick layover—your call.
  3. Requirements: A valid ordinary passport and zero patience for complicated forms.

No secret codes, no fine print, no sneaky fees. It’s as straightforward as it sounds.

Why You Should Care

Because fewer visa hassles = more opportunities to be spontaneous. Thinking of sipping tea in Beijing? Done. Snapping selfies with pandas in Chengdu? Easy. Bargaining for knock-off sneakers at a Shanghai market? Go ahead, haggle away.

And if you’re wondering, “Why is China being so generous?” It’s all part of their plan to boost tourism, strengthen global ties, and subtly remind you their bullet trains are way cooler than whatever you’ve got back home.

Your Move

Grab your passport, plan your itinerary (or just wing it), and pack your bags—China’s visa-free offer is calling your name! Just remember, while the visa’s free, your luggage allowance isn’t. So maybe leave that fifth pair of shoes behind, OK?

Ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Time’s ticking! Experience Visa-free Travel to China for 9 Fantastic New Countries!

Brussels Airlines Unveils 56 Exciting New Africa Flights

Ready your suitcases, folks, because Brussels Airlines is stepping up its game in sub-Saharan Africa for summer 2025. With a brand-new 11th long-haul aircraft joining the squad, the airline will soar to 56 weekly flights, marking a 10% capacity boost. Translation? Your odds of scoring a direct flight to your go-to African hotspot just shot up.

Say Bye-Bye to the Triangle Tango

The big headline? Brussels Airlines is ditching those puzzling triangular routes. No more mid-air math lessons or playing “guess where we’re stopping next.” The winners here are Dakar (Senegal) and Abidjan (Ivory Coast), now flaunting shiny new direct flights. Less connecting, more relaxing—it’s geometry-free travel bliss.

Africa, Daily Edition

If you’re all about consistency, you’re in luck. Nairobi (Kenya) and Accra (Ghana) will now offer daily flights, while Banjul (Gambia), Freetown (Sierra Leone), and Conakry (Guinea) are getting extra departures. The math is simple: more flights = fewer marathon layovers = happier travellers.

Kinshasa Rolls Out the Red Carpet

Here’s where it gets fancy: Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) is getting a major glow-up. Starting March 2025, it’s daily and direct, waving goodbye to the pit stop in Luanda (Angola). Think of it as Kinshasa’s promotion to airline royalty.

As CEO Dorothea von Boxberg proudly declared:

“Kinshasa is our flagship route, and this upgrade highlights nearly 100 years of history connecting Belgium and the DRC.”

In non-CEO speak? Kinshasa is their MVP, and Brussels Airlines is pulling out all the stops to prove it.

Luanda Heads to Lufthansa

Meanwhile, Luanda (Angola) is packing its bags and moving in with Lufthansa. Starting March 2025, it’ll enjoy three direct weekly flights to Frankfurt. Sure, it’s a new address, but hey—it’s still in the family. Brussels Airlines Unveils 56 Exciting New Africa Flights

Dreaming Big Beyond Africa

Brussels Airlines is turning up the travel dial to 11 this summer—literally! With an 18% capacity boost, over 370 new recruits, and enough flights to make your passport sweat, 2025 is shaping up to be an epic travel year. Let’s dig into the highlights:

Fleet Goals

This summer, Brussels Airlines is showing off its 50-strong fleet, including:

  • 11 Airbus A330s for those long-haul naps with questionable airplane wine.
  • 39 short- and medium-haul planes for your weekend getaways to beaches or baguettes.

For the dreamers with wanderlust, Brussels Airlines is adding an 11th Airbus A330 to expand its long-haul game. New destinations? They’re keeping it hush-hush for now, but let’s hope it’s somewhere with palm trees and all-inclusive resorts.

Now Hiring: Jet-Set Dream Team

To pull all this off, Brussels Airlines is bringing on 370 new recruits, including:

  • 190 cabin crew to hand you peanuts and pretzels with flair.
  • 50 pilots to ensure turbulence is more “oh, neat” than “grip the seat.”
  • 60 ground staff to make sure your luggage beats you to the destination.
  • And more behind-the-scenes wizards to keep the magic running.

Highlights Brussel Airlines Big Summer 2025:

  • 50 aircraft ready to take you anywhere you dream.

Whether you’re after sandy beaches, cultural charm, or a break from trying to explain the whole “Berliner” donut joke, we’ve got your ticket to freedom.

New Destinations: From Beaches to Geordies

Prepare your summer bucket list, because it’s about to get fabulous:

  • Bilbao: Art, pintos, and stretchy pants. Your waistline will forgive you.
  • Corfu: Greek island vibes, minus the crowds and the confusingly tiny roads.
  • Faro: Portugal’s Algarve coast will cure your winter blues and make you rethink your life choices.

Time to crank up the Eurowings playlist:

Ready for Takeoff?

Get excited because November 28, 2024, is your launch date! With seven round-trip flights per week, you’ve got plenty of chances to explore Hanoi and Kuala Lumpur on your terms.

Vietjet Launches Daily Flight from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur 2025 for Unforgettable Adventures

Hanoi or Kuala Lumpur? Why Not Both?

This new route lets you crisscross between Hanoi and Kuala Lumpur with the grace of a regional jet-setter. Need to crush a meeting in KL and then eat your way through Hanoi’s street food scene? This flight makes it happen. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your tickets, pack your appetite, and get ready for a Southeast Asian adventure you’ll never forget—passport stamps included!

In light of this new direct route, over 170 different locations around the world will become reachable through Air France’s worldwide network. So, once you’re done exploring every nook and cranny of Disney World, isn’t it wise to catch a layover in New York or Miami after your Orlando fun? You will be the envy of Instagram.

It’s an effortless way to experience French elegance, superb service, and, of course, world-class cuisine.”

So buckle up—this isn’t just any flight. It’s an experience. You might not be walking the Champs-Élysées mid-air, but we guarantee you’ll feel pretty fancy munching on French pastries at 35,000 feet.

Qantas Offers Nonstop Luxury to London and New York 2026

Qantas Offers Nonstop Luxury to London and New York 2026

Grab your neck pillow and adventure sense because Qantas is set to lift air travel to another level (quite literally) with Project Sunrise. Nonstop services between Sydney and London, as well as New York will begin in 2026 and will take an incredible 19 to 22 hours to complete. This is sufficient time to binge watch an entire Netflix catalogue, pick up a new language, or eventually finish that book that you have been pretending to read since 2018.

“No More Middle-of-the-Night Layovers”

Australia, the land Down Under, has long suffered from being, well, down under. But Qantas’ CEO Vanessa Hudson is on a mission to change that. Speaking in LA, she dubbed the route a “game-changer.” And she’s right. This flight doesn’t just cut layovers—it cuts four hours of airport wandering and overpriced coffee. Think of it as teleportation, minus the sci-fi tech.

Need help with your groups and incentives in London? Check out this fantastic DMC!

Your Flying Time Machine: The Airbus A350

What makes this sky marathon possible? The Airbus A350—a plane so advanced, it might make you forget you’re hurtling through the atmosphere at 900 km/h. Expect:

  • Big Windows: Perfect for stargazing or staring wistfully into the void.
  • Enhanced Air Quality: So you don’t step off the plane feeling like a raisin.
  • Comfy Seats: Designed for stretching, lounging, and maybe even sleeping (imagine that!).

Oh, and they’ve consulted scientists to help reduce jetlag. No promises, but you might land feeling like a human instead of a zombie.

Double the Sunrises, Double the Fun

Why settle for one sunrise when you can have two? These flights let you chase the sun, catching it twice in one journey. Imagine sipping your in-flight mimosa as the second sunrise glows on the horizon. It’s the kind of thing that turns you into “that friend” who brings it up at every brunch.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just about getting from Point A to Point B. Project Sunrise is connecting continents, shrinking distances, and rewriting aviation history. It’s also giving Aussies a chance to escape faster—and the rest of us a quicker way to visit their beaches, koalas, and, yes, Vegemite (approach with caution).Qantas Offers Nonstop Luxury to London and New York 2026 is simply fantastic news!

Flying Smart, Flying Green

The A350 doesn’t just go the distance; it does it sustainably. Its fuel-efficient design means you can enjoy your journey guilt-free—or at least as guilt-free as one can feel after three desserts in the in-flight dining service.

Highlights at 38,000 Feet:

  • Duration: Up to 22 hours nonstop (yes, really).
  • Aircraft: The futuristic Airbus A350, designed for long-haul lounging.
  • Firsts: Witness two sunrises in one journey.
  • Eco-Friendly: Reduced carbon footprint without skimping on style.
  • Layover-Free: Save up to four hours—and your sanity.

Qantas Offers Nonstop Luxury to London and New York 2026

By 2026, air travel will not be focused only on the point of arrival, but rather on getting to the point. Qantas seeks to elevate the national reputation of Australian airlines in making long distances fly as an enjoyable experience. Indeed, whether it’s work, wanderlust, or even simply saying that you have remained in the air for 22 hours, saying so makes Qantas the ideal airlines for travellers.

Get ready to fly into the future—with a double sunrise as your reward.

Explore Wild Crazy Golf Fun in Swingers Las Vegas 2024

Hold onto your clubs—Swingers Las Vegas has just opened its doors at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, and it’s ready to flip your typical night out on its head. Imagine mini-golf, but not the kind where you try to keep your ball out of the bushes. This is a full-throttle, adults-only crazy golf experience with a whole lot of flair—think immersive entertainment, delicious bites, and cocktails that might just make you think you’re in a Vegas version of Willy Wonka’s factory.

As the largest Swingers to date and the global flagship of the brand, Swingers Las Vegas is the ultimate playground for grown-ups who want more from their golf than just a boring old putt. We’re talking four outrageously fun golf courses, an arcade that’ll make you feel like a kid again, Detroit-style pizza, and cocktails that’ll have even your most “I’m-not-a-party-person” friends shaking their groove thing.

Need help with groups and incentives in Las Vegas? Contact this fantastic DMC!

Get Ready for a Hole Lotta Fun

This is a 40,000 square feet area which is spread out into two floors of pure madness. Of course it’s golf, but not the banal fairway kind. Imagine moving windmills, useable hot air balloons that are not photo props and carousels that do not have to wait for those childish swings. It is crazy golf on steroids, designed in London by Thomas Borer- and we say that in the most entertaining way possible.

The English Country House That Just Won’t Stop Partying

When you step into Swingers, it feels like you’ve entered a magical English country house that morphs from “quaint and cozy” to “wild party palace” the second the sun goes down. Oh, and did we mention there’s a DJ booth right in the front? It’s basically your dream house party, minus the broken furniture and awkward small talk with distant relatives. Get ready for the vibe that’ll make you think, “Why didn’t I think of this sooner?”

Relive Your Arcade Glory at Swingers Carnival

Remember the days when the arcade was the place to really show off your skills? Swingers Carnival is here to bring back all the nostalgia. With classics like Skeeball, Whack-a-Hole, and Claw machines, you’ll be racking up points for absolutely useless prizes like shot glasses and golf balls. But let’s be real, you’re in it for the bragging rights.

Feeling Hungry? Emmy Squared Pizza Has Got You Covered

We know, you’re playing golf and having fun, but your stomach is probably starting to protest. Luckily, Swingers has teamed up with Emmy Squared Pizza to bring you some of the best Detroit-style pizza and award-winning burgers you can get on the Strip. Our personal favorites? The Colony pizza, which comes topped with pepperoni, jalapeños, and honey (yes, honey!), and the Le Big Matt Burger, because pretzel buns are a gift from the gods.

Sip, Swing, and Sip Some More

Stay hydrated (and tipsy) with a cocktail menu that’s just as fun as the golf. From frozen drinks to wine, beer, and fabulous cocktails like the Lime in the Coconut Collins (pineapple rum, coconut cream, passionfruit) to the Spiked Orange Crush (because who doesn’t love a good crush?), you’ll be good to go for a round or two—or three. And don’t worry, non-alcoholic options are available too, for those who want to keep their eye on the prize—or avoid stumbling into a windmill.

Bars, Beats, and Good Vibes

If you’re more of a “chill with a drink” type, Swingers has not one, but two bars—The Estate Bar and the Clubhouse Bar. Enjoy craft cocktails while you soak in killer views of the golf madness happening all around you. And with daily DJ sets, it’s not just a bar—it’s a whole vibe.

The Ultimate Venue for Your Event

Looking to throw the best event since… ever? Swingers Las Vegas has room for up to 1,500 guests, so whether you want a semi-private space for a cozy celebration or you’re planning the VIP event of the century, they’ve got you covered. With cocktails, crazy golf, and maybe even some spontaneous dance-offs, your event will be the one everyone talks about.

Pricing and Packages

A round of golf starts at $35 per person, but why stop there when you can add cocktails, street food, and reserved seating? Because bundles make everything better. For locals, the walk-up price is $22.50 per round from Sunday to Wednesday. Carnival games start at $15 for 80 credits, and if you don’t want to swing a club, feel free to just hang out at the arcade and bars without shelling out for a round of golf.
