Dear Travel Fan, It seems like Thanksgiving travel starts earlier every year. With record numbers expected to be traveling over the next week, we've put together this survival guide, with some of our best advice whether you are flying or driving. There was a lot of news in travel this week: Arthur Frommer, who built an empire of guidebooks and more, died at 95. Our Frugal Traveler, Elaine Glusac, wrote about his influence on her. José Andrés, the chef and philanthropist, opened a new restaurant and lounge at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, in partnership with the credit card company Capital One. And at the COP29 U.N. climate summit in Azerbaijan, a day was dedicated to travel. We assess how well the industry has done in living up to its climate promises. The country singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves told us about her favorite spots in Nashville. London is one of the most diverse cities in the world and this week we tour some of its African and Caribbean neighborhoods. And since 2019, the nonprofit Rails to Trails Conservancy has been working to create a bike path across America that would let you ride safely from the East Coast to the West. We went to Nebraska to ride some of the new trail and check in on the progress. Our Tripped Up columnist looks at the rules around flying while pregnant, based on the case of a woman who was denied boarding by her international carrier. And if you're thinking of taking a heritage trip to explore your family's roots, we've got tips for you. Our 36 Hours column stops in Tucson, Ariz., this week. With fall's cooler temperatures, this is a great time to visit that desert city. Wishing you safe and happy journeys, Amy Virshup | OPEN UP YOUR WORLD |  | | Ayesha Kazim for The New York Times |
