If you're looking for some inspiration on how to spend the upcoming holiday season, it's time to take cues from fellow Indians. A recent study by American Express has highlighted that a staggering 97% of Indians have their travel plans set for the forthcoming festive season, and more than 30% have already made their bookings. What's more, around 93% won't shy away from spending a few extra bucks if it means making their trip more comfortable and fun. A recent <keyword id="23687478" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Skyscanner-report" source="keywords">Skyscanner report</keyword> titled Travel Trends 2025 also underlined this growing preference for <keyword id="23687479" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="comfortable-travel" source="keywords">comfortable travel</keyword> among Indians. Per the report, 57% of Indians were okay spending a little extra to get a good quality in-flight meal. For 47%, good seats and hence, seat selection was a priority, and 42% of surveyed Indians preferred comfort right from the trip's start-valuing access to airport lounges. Per the <keyword id="23687477" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="American-Express-study" source="keywords">American Express study</keyword>, while most people (63%) just want to let their hair down and relax, 54% want to don their explorer hats and see new places. About 27% just want to get away from the chaos of their daily lives and spend time with their near and dear ones. Most of us (around 88%) just have Bharat Darshan on our itinerary, while 61% felt like the world was calling us, which is why they plan to travel internationally. Irrespective of destinations, a staggering 91% of Indian travelers believe holidays can help build resilience and strength, so they’re better able to handle the stresses of everyday life. But even amidst all this traveling, Indians do not forget to be budget-conscious, which explains why 73% of Indians won't shy away from generously using their <keyword id="23687480" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="credit-card-points" source="keywords">credit card points</keyword>, <keyword id="23687481" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="airline-miles" source="keywords">airline miles</keyword>, or loyalty rewards. Soak in the festivities and experience The American Express study, which spanned Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, apart from India, only reinforced that pretty much everyone across the world is in a mood to travel and relax. Globally, 58% of respondents from these countries had plans to visit their family and friends. For those few who had no travel plans but rather wanted to lounge and laze in their homes, 40% had family or friends visiting them. But quality time with loved ones was not the only thing on the list, with 55% also taking trips outside of visiting family. Also, buying gifts during the season is seemingly passe. Every 1 in 3 respondents chose gifting their loved ones an experience rather than a material gift. Atop this gift list are entertainment-related experiences, preferred by 59% of respondents. Travel-related experiences come next, chosen by 54% of those surveyed, followed by food and drink-related experiences, which were opted for by 49% of respondents. The Skyscanner also highlighted that 66% of Indian travelers plan to travel more in 2025. As to the deciding factors for choosing the next travel destination, food, culture, and weather played a crucial role for 63%, 58%, and 57% of respondents, respectively. Skyscanner's report also highlighted this trend, noting that people were increasingly looking forward to having unique experiences. 53% of Indians surveyed wanted to travel to watch a live game or sporting event in 2025. At 54%, this number was slightly higher amongst the 25-34 age cohort.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>TSA agents at Salt Lake City's airport were stumped upon finding what appeared to be a human skull.</li><li>The skull, packed in a traveler's luggage, had "unidentifiable components inside," KSL.com reported. </li></ul>TSA agents at Salt Lake City International Airport were in for a surprise after finding what appeared to be a human skull in a passenger's luggage earlier this month.While scanning the passenger's bag on the morning of September 18, agents found the skull stuffed with "unidentifiable components" that resembled an improvised explosive device, officials <a href="https://www.ksl.com/article/50741430/unusual-find-at-salt-lake-city-airport-prompts-brief-baggage-shutdown-tsa-travel-reminder">told local news outlet KSL.com on Friday</a>.A TSA spokesperson confirmed the incident to Insider on Saturday.Upon finding the skull, agents called Salt Lake City police, who arrived to investigate alongside an explosives specialist and a bomb-sniffing dog, the outlet reported. The debacle reportedly shut down security for about two hours. "Everyone involved showed professionalism and worked diligently to resolve the matter and ensure that security was not compromised. Operations were restored as quickly as possible," the TSA spokesperson wrote in a statement to Insider. <div type="image" title="The base of a model skull, with a battery inside." height="917" width="1222" msid="104090189" hostid="261" sizebytes="36848"></div>As it turns out, the object wasn't a real skull but a plastic, medical training device. The passenger told agents surgeons use the skull to demonstrate a lobotomy and that he was taking it to a conference in Cancún, Mexico, per the outlet.<a href="https://www.webmd.com/brain/what-is-lobotomy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to WebMD,</a> lobotomies were used primarily throughout the 1940s and '50s to treat psychiatric disorders. While they were more common in the middle of the century, "these surgeries were primitive and dangerous" by today's standards, the site says.Ultimately, the skull never reached Mexico as TSA agents decided not to allow the passenger to take it with him. They kept it for him to pick up when he returns to the US, KSL.com reported. In the statement sent to Insider, the TSA spokesperson recommended that anyone traveling with a "highly unusual item" should alert agents beforehand to "avoid potential suspicion.""This incident and subsequent response is an example of how TSA must take every potential security threat seriously while making sure that the transportation system is not put at risk," the spokesperson added.
