Newly minted
When Tom Jurkowsky joined the US Mint at Philadelphia three years ago, he took the public tour, the same one launched in 1969 when the Mint opened at its current location.

Business class on the ground
Turkish Airlines has teamed up with CitySuper to create two Mediterranean dishes from its business class menu using ingredients from the supermarket.

Music to your ears
Music fans, don't miss this opportunity. Zuji has tracked down the best festivals worldwide and sourced up to 15 percent off hotel stays there.

All about a Boy
Fly British Airways in the lead up to the London Olympics and you'll get a chance to watch Boy, Prasanna Puwanarajah's short film.

Here's the buzz
If you're heading on holiday to the United States and enjoy a bit of eccentricity, then you're in luck because summer turns to silly season with these off- the-wall events chosen by online travel adviser TripAdvisor:

Sundae surprise
United Airlines has revamped its premium-cabin menu on long-haul international flights. On Japanese flights, meals include sushi while those from China offer hot noodle soup as a mid- flight snack.

Luxurious packages
Stay at any of the eight Raffles Hotels & Resorts properties and you have a pick of six core packages. Each hotel will come up with its own content to ensure that the experience has a sense of place.

Have a jubilee
The diamond jubilee weekend may be over but celebrations will continue to the end of the year. Last minute flights to the UK are still available on board British Airways, which has a long history of flying British royalty.

Worth the haggle
The first rule of shopping in the centuries-old markets of Istanbul is this: the asking price is merely a suggestion. A price is equivalent to a declaration that a merchant is open for business. But you will not pay that number, and he - it is always a he - does not expect you to.

A card up the sleeve
Here's a quick test. What's the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Macau? Apart from the Ruins of St Paul's and the egg tarts from Lord Stow's Bakery, the majority of answers will be gambling.

Heavy duty lightweights
Sturdy and durable usually translates to bulky and heavy. But Herios, Samsonite's new business traveler collection, gives you the best of both worlds. Though light, the heavy-duty ballistic nylon exterior can withstand impacts while the Teflon coating protects against water and stains.
