How to Make Long Flights Easier


Club Newport offers an array of customized travel packages to individuals and businesses seeking an affordable and hassle-free booking experience. With a Club Newport vacation membership, travelers can plan trips to thrilling destinations around the globe while saving money and earning rewards.

When considering international travel, there aren’t many people who would disagree with the fact that long flights can be rough. When you find yourself cooped up on a long-haul flight, Club Newport concierge recommends these few tips to make your journey easier.

- Spring for the seat upgrade. While riding in coach is the most affordable option, it also offers the fewest amenities and least legroom. Whether you pay out of pocket or use your airline miles, you’ll find a lengthy flight more bearable as you enjoy more space, and better entertainment and food and beverage options with an upgraded ticket.

- Bring a well-equipped travel pack. While you shouldn’t overburden yourself with too many carry-on items, you will want to bring a few essentials to make yourself more comfortable. Earplugs, facial moisturizer, and a comfortable sweater or blanket are just some of the things that may help you relax until you arrive at your destination.

- Stay healthy. Keep hydrated with electrolyte-rich liquids and help ward off viruses by wearing a facemask and keeping up with your vitamins before you leave. Don’t forget to move around as much as possible to prevent swelling in your legs and release any tension in your back and shoulders.

If you appreciate these types of tips and would like more of them while enjoying discounted travel, call 1-877-CLUB-NEW today to learn more about membership possibilities with Club Newport.

Crucial Tips for Your First Cruise


South Florida-based Club Newport seeks to make global travel an affordable luxury for all. Through exclusive savings and added benefits, members enjoy a significant return on their purchases and stretch their dollars further than ever. A wide variety of transportation and accommodation options are available either online or through the Club’s personal concierge team and cover everything from quality hotels and resorts, rental homes, car rentals, cruise excursions, and so much more.

For those planning to embark on their first cruise vacation, the multiple booking options may seem a little tedious in the beginning. Choosing the ideal cruise line, route, and selecting your cabin can be overwhelming as much as it is exciting. Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time for planning and mulling over options before making any decisions.
Once your initial reservations are made, consider these few tips to help make your adventure as stress-free as possible.

1. Before your trip, review the deck plan to get an idea of your ship's layout. This will make it easier for you to find your way around and help you feel more relaxed on your first few days at sea. 

2. Leave the cash at home. Most cruise lines make it easy to charge items directly to your room key so there’s no need to carry around a thick wallet or purse. Unless you’ve booked an all-inclusive trip, however, consider bringing a few singles to tip the staff members that assist you along the way.

3. Remember that you’re there to kick back. If you find yourself rushing around in order to see and do everything the ship has to offer, chances are you may find yourself exhausted and a little tense. It’s ok to miss out on a few items on your list and save them for the next one!

Travel by Train


For vacation-goers and business travelers alike, Club Newport offers customizable and tiered enrollment packages that can be tailored to suit any budget and lifestyle. With discounted transportation and accommodations all over the world, club members have saved more than $29 million on over 400,000 reservations to date.

Unlike traditional online booking sites, Club Newport offers added benefits like guest passes, resort stays, a 110% price guarantee and complimentary concierge services. Members can shop the convenient online portal for everything from hotels to vacation homes, cruise lines, airfare, car rentals, and more with complete confidence. 

When planning a trip, most travelers turn directly to airlines and car rentals to get them where they need to go. Traveling by train, however, is always encouraged by the Club’s concierge team and for good reason. 

Train passengers typically find the ride an exciting experience that can be more cost effective than booking a flight. Fares are generally more stable and the schedules are subject to fewer delays. For shorter or last-minute trips, you can show up the day of travel and purchase a ticket without incurring extra fees or charges, making this a viable option.

Beyond the financial benefits and convenience, taking a train can be significantly more comfortable than flying with more space to stretch out and even better dining options. Parents also find children more relaxed, as they’re less confined, have more to look at through the window, and there’s no concern of uncomfortable pressure changes. Children’s fascination with trains alone typically allows for an overall more pleasant disposition and therefore, better experience for mom and dad.

Known as a hub for arts, culture, and craft beers, Asheville also serves as the eastern gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

International travelers with a taste for something more exotic, however, may find Aogashima Island in the Philippine Sea more to their liking.

Three Top Attractions in Sicily


Membership with Club Newport provides significant savings on a variety of travel services through customizable enrollment packages and reward offers. Members can enjoy the convenience of online shopping by viewing thousands of quality resorts, hotels, cruise excursions, airlines, and car rentals available from around the world, or choose to utilize the Club’s concierge service for recommendations and booking.

With endless domestic and international options, travelers can get choosy with how, where, and when they spend their valuable time. While traditional vacation spots aren’t without awe, be sure to always take advantage of researching and exploring a country’s lesser-known areas for making the most unforgettable memories.

A typical venture to Italy, for example, will surely entail the museums of Florence or the breathtaking streets of Rome. While these are certainly must-see places, savvy travelers know that some of the country’s greatest treasures can be found on the islands dotting the waters off the coast. One of the better known of these is Sicily - a large island situated off the toe of Italy’s “boot” that offers rich culture, culinary treasures, and historical traditions. Three of the island’s must-see attractions include Mount Etna, the Greek Temples, and Villa Romana del Casale.

- Mount Etna: Rising more than 3,000 meters above sea level in the center of Sicily, the mountain stands as the largest active volcano in Europe. With beautiful hiking trails in summer and skiing in the winter, a trip here is always a good idea!

- Greek Temples: Though Sicily is part of Italy, the island features three Greek temples that rival any of the ancient monuments still standing in Greece. Agrigento is the most well known of these, but scattered along Sicily’s southern and western coasts are two other striking examples, Selinunte and Segesta.

- Villa Romana del Casale: Tucked into the hillside near the town of Piazza Armerina, this structure is one of the most elaborate Roman villas in existence. Visitors and scholars alike prize it for its large number of truly inspiring mosaics and architectural detail.
