It was the Philadelphia-based, New York–born photographer Adachi’s birthday on Afropunk’s first day, which in some ways contributed to her slightly holographic, breezy look. “I think that subconsciously I wanted to start my year off light,” she says. “I wanted to wear light colors and feel light.”

These three teenaged skaters went against the grain a bit by eschewing the festival’s unofficial dress code that tends towards extravagance. As Lamar Dobbins explains, “It’s Afropunk so no one’s really going to judge what you’re wearing. I just put on regular attire, what I wear every day.”
Grace
Grace traveled all the way from the U.K. for the Brooklyn edition of Afropunk, and she described her chic look as “an amalgamation of everything I like,” from some ’70s influences to Afro-inspired makeup, all topped off with a nod to Paris in her red beret. She says that Afropunk’s focus on community is more important now than it has ever been before, as “there’s a wider movement of defiance almost and just not accepting what we’re told is the norm,” acknowledging that the only antidote is, “inclusion in every sense.”
As our idea of what constitutes true luxury in the modern day continues to evolve, the draw of multi-generational travel rises alongside it. Known as 3G holidays, this is the next step in family holidays, and it’s gaining momentum. In fact, after 2020's travel restrictions, families realised the value of shared experiences — and it’s a trend that’s still going strong. A recent study by Booking.com found that 58% of travellers said their parents paid for part or all their holidays. Why? Because Boomers (the ones funding the trips) are prioritising time together over material possessions. This is especially true in regions where young families are eager to invite their parents on holidays they couldn’t afford earlier in life.

For easy family trips, look for adjoining rooms that bring everyone together without sacrificing privacy. Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Hotel offers Ocean Family Club rooms with special family club benefits. Or, in Spain, Anantara Villa Padierna Palace in Marbella provides family rooms for up to six people. Many Hilton hotels worldwide even guarantee availability of connecting rooms when booking, so you don’t have to wait until check-in to confirm.

For those who love the great outdoors, a glamping getaway could hit the spot. A portmanteau of “glamour” and “camping”, great glamping spots can be found across the world, including Shinta Mani Wild in Cambodia; the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in Vancouver, British Columbia; and the Glamping Village Totonoi at Mount Fuji, Japan. In the UAE, Ras Al Khaimah’s Longbeach Campground makes it easy for families to pick-and-mix among accommodation types. Aside from the Deluxe and Family Tents, there are 10 Safari Suite tents that can fit up to four people each (with private showers), and the iconic Panoramic Dome Suite Tent, which comes with its own bathroom, terrace, and spa bath. The latter can fit four adults and two kids, or six adults, and its glass exterior gives guests the chance to stargaze together. However, your group divvies up where you sleep, it’s easy to come together at the infinity pool bar or the beach dining area, enjoy sports together, or watch a movie at the outdoor cinema.

Online check-in has evolved. If your airline offers an app, it’s often the quickest and most convenient way to check in before your flight. With just a few taps, you can skip the paperwork, save time at the airport, and stay updated with real-time notifications about your gate, boarding time, or baggage claim.
Pro Tip: Major airports have apps with smart extras like terminal maps, water refill stations, or quiet zones. Combine these with the Priority Pass app for a smoother, stress-free airport experience.
Tip 2. Tap into travel tools that save time
Once you’ve navigated duty-free and checked your flight's on time, it’s time to unwind before you board. With over 1,700 Priority Pass lounges worldwide, you can escape the busy terminal, relax comfortably, and enjoy complimentary food and drinks. Many lounges also offer perks like quiet zones, showers, and gyms to help you reset.
But that’s not all — your Priority Pass membership also unlocks access to dining experiences, entertainment hubs, and spa and wellness treatments right in the terminal. Feeling the airport stress? WithU offers guided mindfulness sessions in select lounges to help you reset before take-off.
Pro Tip: Many lounges and experiences can be pre-booked, so you can secure your spot ahead of busy travel seasons, ensuring a stress-free, relaxed start to your journey. Simply log in and head to the lounge listings in the Priority Pass app to see if pre-booking is available for your chosen location.
Tip 4. Find your calm before take-off
Packing smart can make airport security far smoother. Keep liquids under 100ml in a clear plastic bag, and place them where they’re easy to reach. Choose slip-on shoes and minimal accessories to move through screening quickly - especially at busy airport locations where queues can build up quickly.
Some airports, including London Heathrow and Muscat International, are upgrading to smart security lanes that may no longer require removing laptops or liquids - but check current guidelines before you fly, and always stick to volume limits unless advised otherwise.
Want to ensure you’re fully prepared? Our travel checklist is your go-to guide for packing efficiently and confidently.
Pro Tip: If you’re travelling to or through the U.S., consider enrolling in Global Entry, it can significantly speed up security and customs.
Tip 3. Streamline your packing and speed through security
