While your friends might have spent the last several weeks debating the merits of Lamar Jackson versus Patrick Mahomes, our travel nerds have been working on a fantasy draft of their own: airlines.

It’s called a ‘workation’ and countries around the world are now offering special packages catering to wanderlust-prone professionals for a much-needed boost in tourism.
The pandemic has employees around the globe bound to their desks at home and this has taken a toll on many. According
There are two main routes from Los Angeles to the Canadian border, a distance of more than 1,000 miles up the US West Coast.

A SIGN in the window of an ice cream store in Bar Harbor, Maine, advises people to stand a moose apart. It must have helped. Maine has maintained some of the lowest Covid-19 numbers in the country. Stringent travel restrictions played a part too: In early April, the land of blueberry pies and L.L. Bean rolled up the welcome mat, mandating a two-week quarantine for all arrivals.

And after five months of near-zero revenue, Macau’s pandemic-weary casinos were hoping that a rush of travelers during China’s Golden Week would provide a fast rebound. Starting Oct. 1, the anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic, the holiday—it actually lasts eight days this year—usually sees the world’s biggest

The company’s resources and liquidity are waning, waiting for government aid, which is yet to come.
