Top 70 World Ideas in May

From Musical Japanese Roads to Turkish Travel Infographics

Making the travel experience more affordable, comfortable and easy to arrange are three key themes that repeat in the top May 2015 world travel trends.

Since cost is one of the factors that inhibits travel the most, brands like Transavia and S7 Airlines are offering snack bags that grant airline tickets and headsets to simulate the joys of travel for free.

In a move to improve the well-being of a traveler's mind and body, bedding, seating and entire modes of transportation are being redesigned from a perspective that puts comfort ahead of sheer efficiency. For additional peace of mind, Delta now offers free tracking for passengers traveling with their pets, while British Airways now features in-flight meditation programs to calm the nerves of the weary.
