Hello, and welcome to WIRED Travel, WIRED’s new destination for coverage of all things transportation, aviation, vacation, and more. Of course, innovations in travel technology, from next-generation electric vehicles to fuel-sipping, climate-friendly aircraft, are all mainstays of WIRED’s coverage already. But we’re excited to pull it all together in one place and have the opportunity to bring you even more.
WIRED Travel will introduce you to companies moving beyond fossil fuels and people embracing the “slow travel” movement. We’ll bring you up-to-date, practical tips and tricks to get where you’re going, like the best apps for solo travel and the gear you should pack before you go. As climate change and extreme weather challenge our transportation systems, we’ll offer a closer look at how experts are addressing global infrastructure challenges and how transit companies are adapting to a changing world.
If your summer plans include a quick getaway to more pleasant shores, or you just want to get a head start on the best deals for your family holidays at the end of the year, we’ve got you covered. Remember though, we’re on this trip together! If you have questions or feedback, or even want to contribute your voice to the section, email us at mail@wired.com, and mention travel in the subject line. We’d love to hear from you.
