Plenty of New Routes This Week from Monarch, KLM and Air France

Sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we’ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.

· KLM:
We're pretty sure that we heard about this some time ago, but now it’s finally time for the pilots, planes, and flight attendants to start doing their thing. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is brining back some nonstop flights to Dallas-Ft. Worth, and the new flights started up just this week. Business and Economy Class are both options on the Airbus A330s that are going to head back and forth between Dallas and Amsterdam. Flights are back for the summer months—and maybe beyond—with the flights leaving the greater Dallas area on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

· Qantas:
All right this might not be a new route, but it is a chance to ride aboard some new planes on some old routes. The big planes usually have no problem heading down and over to Australia, but now they’re flying more and more domestic routes down under. Qantas is installing the big birds—747s to be specific—between Sydney and Perth, as the carrier tries to meet the demand for business travelers looking for some fancier seats. Melbourne over to Perth is also getting an airplane upgrade, as some of the routes are scheduled to get a seating—and comfort—boost thanks to the addition of some Airbus A330s.

'Italo' Might Just Be The Best Part of Your Next Trip To Italy

For a long time the only high speed train option in Italy was the state-run Trenitalia. Sure there are plenty of trains that can get you between Rome and Venice in like four hours or so, but there were often complaints about service and quality along with also this and that. A little competition might be just what the Italian train system needs, and that’s where Italo comes in to play.

Late last month the country’s new—and private—high speed train service finally hit the rails, and they’re planning to connect pretty much all the tourist and business hotspots throughout the country. Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori is the company behind the new trains, and if all goes according to plan you’ll be zipping through the countryside at around 190mph. Soon enough the trains will be connecting nine different cities at like twelve different stations.

Omaha: What to Do in Omaha for Buffettchella, The Annual Berkshire Shareholders Meeting

Omaha might be "somewhere in middle America" according to the Counting Crows but all eyes will be on the Midwestern city this weekend as big-time investors in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. attend the company's annual shareholders meeting at the Century Link Omaha Convention Center.

This meeting is so powerful folks will pay just over a $120,000 for one share in Berkshire Hathaway (the most expensive stock on the NYSE) solely so they can attend this meeting and rub shoulders with Buffett and board members like Bill Gates, Charlie Munger and Walter Scott, Jr. etc.*

Fortunately for Fox Business's Liz Claman (@LizClaman), no such hefty investment fee is required. This is Liz's fourth year broadcasting live from the conference and her 13th trip total to Omaha.

Saying that "Omaha has more to offer than meets the eye", Liz has detailed some of her must-see and must-dos for the traveler with a little downtime in Omaha.

(Oh and it doesn't hurt that for her first time in town, she was given a grand tour by Warren Buffett himself.)

United Airlines in 1962: Society Soars to 30,000 Feet

Look what we found! Why, it's a June 1962 edition of United's old in-flight magazine, Mainliner. This week, we'll be flipping through the pages and learning a thing or two about the United of the dawn of the jet age.

Yesteday we introduced to a Mr. Rotunno, professional photographer with a single beat: Chicago's airports. Rotunno captured the arrivals of famous actors, actresses, political figures, musicians and more with his lens. He was the modern-day LAX paparazzo, just more distinguished and at ORD/MDW.

Today we see a few of the famous faces Mike photographed, featured here on the last page of Mainliner.

The 'Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' of India is a Real Place

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel probably won't win this weekend's box office, but there's no doubt it's the most travel-inspiring movie of the week, maybe the entire year.

The movie's plot revolves around a group of British retirees who decide to spend their retirement in less expensive India, where it was also filmed.

Most of the Marigold is set in Jaipur, Rajasthan for its "rich color palette" and constant chaos on the roads, a perfect background for a story about culture shock. But The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in the film is actually Ravla Khempur, located in Khempur, about an hour outside of Udaipur.
