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.

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.

Helpful Tips for Sleeping on a Plane


Club Newport is a members-only vacation club offering customized travel packages to destinations around the world. With prices backed by a 110% lowest price guarantee and tiered enrollment options designed to suit any budget and lifestyle, Club Newport aims to make worldwide travel an obtainable luxury for everyone. Reward points, concierge services, guest passes, and bonus resort stays are all added benefits packed into every membership.

As any frequent flier would attest, the journey to your destination is not always the most relaxing or enjoyable experience. Long flights can be challenging for many reasons and sleep is an excellent way to pass the time, so long as you can make yourself comfortable enough. Club Newport’s concierge professionals have these practical tips for nestling in and catching some z’s.

Book early to snatch up one of the coveted window seats. You can rest your head against the side of the plane cabin and distance yourself from passing carts and people in the aisle. Here, you’ll also be able to control the amount of light entering through the window. Unless you require extra legroom, think twice about booking a seat in an exit row, as most of these don’t recline.

Be certain to pack a few comfort items in your carry on. A cozy sweater or blanket to keep warm and noise-canceling earphones will help you rest easier. For extra long flights, you might consider a Melatonin or anti-motion sickness supplement to ensure a more restful experience.

Simple Tips for Saving Money for Vacation


Headquartered on the coast of sunny South Florida, Club Newport is dedicated to making travel simple and accessible for individuals and businesses with various budgets and lifestyle preferences. The vacation membership program partners with many of the world’s top resort and vacation companies to offer affordable travel packages at highly competitive rates.

Aside from significant savings with their Club Newport Vacation Membership, Club members are finding ways to easily put back additional funds to improve their experience, and truly vacation the way they want to. 

Save extra money simply by eliminating excess expenses from your budget. You might consider downgrading a cell phone plan you are not fully using, a satellite television subscription service with channels you don't watch, or canceling an unused gym membership. Bring meals from home to work, skip the expensive coffees, carpool whenever possible, and make use of restaurant coupons when you do go out. Check your credit and debit cards for cash back deals and additional discounts on purchases.

Those that do decide to make these small sacrifices at home, enjoy not having to make them while on vacation. This accounts for an overall, more memorable experience.

Deciding Whether You Need Travel Insurance


Club Newport assists both individuals and professionals in planning their ideal vacation or business trip by offering significant savings on travel arrangements. Enrollment unlocks access to the members-only portal where travelers can enjoy the convenience of online shopping and booking by viewing the thousands of available resorts, hotels, cruise excursions, and car rentals from around the world. Each purchase accumulates reward points that can be used for future travel or gift cards and is supported by the Club’s unique 110% best price guarantee.

Beyond significant savings, benefits of membership also include guest passes, full-range concierge services at no additional cost, and bonus resort stays starting at only $49 A WEEK! Travel has never been more affordable and rewarding than with a Club Newport Vacation Membership.

Aside from finding the best deals and accommodations for your trip, an important factor to consider before booking is whether or not to purchase travel insurance, and which kind. Here are a few points you may want to consider before making a decision.

Assess the financial risks of an unexpected situation. Since many flights and hotel bookings are either non-refundable or become non-refundable after a certain date, you might consider travel insurance that permits you to cancel for any reason. This may be particularly beneficial for any trip that you’re planning well in advance (6-12 months). Should you need to cancel your trip for an unforeseen reason, this insurance will refund your expenses.

Trip interruption insurance is another option that could help you recover costs. This type of coverage reimburses non-recoverable expenses associated with having to cut your trip short or significantly change your plans once you have already embarked.

In addition to the logistical portion of the trip, consider what would happen if you fell ill while traveling. Medical travel insurance protects you by paying any medical expenses should you suffer an accident or get sick while on your trip. Some medical plans don’t provide coverage outside of your own country, so it’s important to speak with your insurance representative before deciding if extra insurance is needed. In the case of extreme emergency, medical evacuation insurance covers the cost of transportation to a hospital or back home via a private transport service.

A Few Reasons to Consider Taking a Cruise


With Club Newport Vacation Membership, individuals have booked more than 400,000 reservations to the tune of over $29 million in savings. Members are provided with exemplary service and affordable access to vacation planning all over the world, from cross-continental road trips to international cruises.

Travel experts and Club concierge recommend vacation-goers experience at least one cruise excursion in their lifetime. As one of the ultimate in unique traveling experiences, cruises embark on leisurely routes that allow travelers to experience multiple locations and activities without having to struggle through the airport and take long car rides on unfamiliar roads. Passengers can select from an array of on and off-board activities while the experienced crew handles every detail and can be a great source of information for suggestions and area knowledge. 

Cruises provide options for both an oceanic and land-based vacation. Individuals who love the ocean can spend days looking out over the vast, open waters while also stopping to take trips to beautiful beaches and seaside towns and cities. Meanwhile, those more interested in diving into the rich local culture can occupy themselves with ship activities and the various architecture, cityscapes, and natives that they encounter during land excursions. 

Finally, cruises are a great place to meet new people. Newly married couples, families, and independent travelers are just a few of the kinds of travelers one can expect to find on a cruise.
