I visited a speakeasy hidden inside Denver Airport. It wasn't what I expected, but I had a lot of fun.
I visited Denver Airport's hidden bar, Williams & Graham. Kasia Kovacs I visited Williams & Graham, a speakeasy hidden inside Denver International Airport. The bar had an extensive cocktail menu and a decent amount of food options, too. My drink was pretty good, and the experience was a fun way to pass the time during my layover. Flying internationally in the winter can be difficult — crowded airports sometimes turn into a no-man's land of grumpy travelers, downcast due to bad weather and flight delays. But I know one thing can make that trip more bearable: a cocktail. Especially when it's in a themed bar. During a recent 16-hour journey from the UK to the US, I decided to visit a speakeasy called Williams & Graham during my layover at the Denver International Airport. Although I was initially nervous the concept would be cheesy, it made for a fun way to pass the time. Here's what it was like. The entrance was hidden, but it wasn't hard to find The hostess made finding the speakeasy simple. Kasia Kovacs The entrance to Williams & Graham, located near Gate A38, is disguised by a curved bookshelf. An observant passerby would notice clues — like the hostess with a bright smile standing next to a red velvet rope — that this wasn't any old bookcase. There was also prominent Williams & Graham signage. When I walked up to the hostess, I was told the wait would be about 15 to 20 minutes. As I waited for a table, I watched a steady stream of people try to get in, and the wait time rose to 25 minutes. After calling my name, the hostess pulled open the bookshelf, which turned into a door and revealed the bar. The door to the bar was hidden inside a bookshelf. Kasia Kovacs Although not exactly large, the speakeasy had more space than I expected for an airport location. The lights were dimmed, which made the atmosphere feel more bar-like after leaving the sterile lighting of an airport. I was given a seat at the fully stocked bar, which felt appropriate for a solo traveler. The menu had a good amount of options There were 26 different cocktails on the menu. Kasia Kovacs All cocktails were $18, and the menu included a mix of both classic and unique house options, with names like "Becky with the Good Hair" and "Swol Juice." The price felt steep for my own day-to-day spending, but considering that airport prices are notoriously high, I was almost surprised they weren't more expensive. I counted 26 cocktails on the menu, which felt like a good range of options for travelers in a time crunch. The menu didn't list specific beer or wine offerings, but patrons could ask a server about the selection if they were interested. Along with cocktails, the menu had food items like mac and cheese, a burger, and the occasional French-themed dish like ratatouille. The entrées ranged in price from $14.20 to $28.80. Since I didn't want to miss my flight, I stuck with a drink. But I noticed a few people around me ordering meals, including a hefty, juicy-looking burger and frog legs, described on the menu as "frog booties." I enjoyed my drink and thought the speakeasy was a fun way to pass the time I ordered a whisky-based cocktail called the Highland Lass. Kasia Kovacs I ordered the Highland Lass, a whiskey-based cocktail made with Glenfiddich 12, yellow Chartreuse liqueur, lemon, cucumber, honey, and ginger. The drink went down smoothly, and the whiskey, honey, and ginger felt comforting. Although it was an iced cocktail, the combination felt like warmth on a winter's day. I also enjoyed the bit of sweetness that didn't feel too overwhelming. Though nothing spectacular, it was a pleasant drink. Overall, although the idea of an airport speakeasy is a bit camp, the drinks were nice enough for an airport bar, and the atmosphere was friendly. For me, a cocktail and conversations with strangers were fun ways to distract me from the woes of a layover. Read the original article on Business Insider

An airline barred 2 passengers after an in-flight brawl and plans to go after them for the cost of diverting the plane
Jet2 has barred two people from ever flying with it again after they brawled midair. OLI SCARFF/AFP via Getty Images British budget airline Jet2 barred two people after a midair brawl prompted a diversion on Thursday. Jet2 said it plans to "vigorously pursue" the pair to recoup costs for the diversion. Unruly passengers can face civil and criminal prosecution in addition to airline lawsuits. "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" — except when it ends in a midair brawl. The British budget carrier has issued lifetime bans to two passengers after a flight from Turkey to England diverted to Belgium on Thursday following a fight on board, the airline told multiple news outlets. It's unclear what caused the altercation, but videos circulating on social media show passengers screaming and pushing as cabin crew and others attempted to break it up. The plane later continued to the UK after police removed the two passengers. Jet2 said in a statement that the pair exhibited "appalling behavior" and that it would "vigorously pursue them" to recoup the costs of the diversion. Diversions aren't cheap: they can cost airlines tens of thousands of dollars in fuel, labor, and airport fees. Any hotel and transportation costs also add up. "As a family-friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour, and we are very sorry that other customers and our colleagues on board had to experience this too," the airline said. Jet2 has a history of chasing down unruly passengers. In 2019, the airline barred a disruptive traveler and billed her about $115,000 after she attempted to open an exit door midair, prompting a diversion escorted by military jets. In 2022, two brothers who fought on board another Jet2 flight forced a diversion and were later charged about $68,000 and issued lifetime bans. Other airlines have taken similar approaches, seeking reimbursement from passengers whose behavior disrupted flights. Budget competitor Ryanair, for example, last year filed a lawsuit seeking about $18,000 from a passenger it described as disruptive after a diversion to Portugal in April 2024 left 160 people needing overnight accommodation. Unruly passenger incidents surged during the pandemic, when mask mandates fueled confrontations between travelers and airline staff. Data from the Federal Aviation Administration shows there were nearly 6,000 reports on US airlines in 2021 — up about 500% from roughly 1,000 the year before. Reports fell to about 2,500 in 2022 and further to roughly 1,600 in 2025, though they still remain well above pre-pandemic levels. There have been 126 reports so far in 2026. The FAA maintains a zero-tolerance policy and has issued more than $20 million in civil fines since 2020 (these are separate from the money airlines can collect through lawsuits). In more extreme cases — such as physical assaults on crew — passengers have faced criminal prosecution, including by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, resulting in larger fines and jail time.

Canadian travellers have not gotten over their beef with Trump, and snowbird destinations could feel the pinch
Snowbird destinations from Palm Springs to southern Florida are feeling the impact as Canadians remain hesitant about traveling to the US. Sarah Gray/Business Insider New data from Longwoods International shows Canadians are still hesitant about traveling to the US. Major snowbird destinations from Palm Springs, California, to southern Florida are feeling the impact. Canadians are opting for Europe, Mexico, and the Caribbean instead, or for domestic travel. Canadian travellers are still unhappy with President Donald Trump, and that's affecting the 2026 outlook of visitors to the US from Canada. In 2025, there was a noticeable travel chill from the US's northern neighbor, following President Donald Trump's quips about the "51st state" and the levying of hefty tariffs. A January survey of more than 1,000 Canadian prospective travelers found that they remain hesitant to travel to the US and would rather support domestic tourism, according to Longwoods International, a tourism industry market research company. According to Longwoods International, 55% of surveyed Canadian travelers report that they intend to travel to the US within the next 12 months, which remains mostly unchanged from 54% reported in October 2025. Among those who intend to make the trip, only 9% say they have already made bookings. In 2025, 4 million fewer Canadian travelers visited the US than the previous year, marking a 22% drop, according to the US Commerce Department's National Travel and Tourism Office. Seventy-three percent of Canadian respondents to the latest survey, who said they changed their 2026 travel plans to avoid the US, cited economic policies and tariffs. Other factors are also at work. More than 40% of respondents told Longwoods International that they strongly or somewhat disagree that the US is a place that values international travelers, welcomes travelers with diverse backgrounds, is a safe place to visit, and feels welcoming in general, and the number of Canadians who agree that the US feels safe to visit has been declining over the past year. Popular destinations for Canadian snowbirds, such as southern California and Florida, have been trying to woo them back. But it appears that those attempts have fallen flat as Trump continues to threaten Canada with tariffs and recently threatened to delay the opening of a bridge Canada paid for. In 2025, California's Gov. Gavin Newsom began trying to convince Canadians with targeted video campaigns that California welcomes them. Recently, heart-shaped banners featuring the Canadian flag also popped up in Palm Springs, which, according to the Los Angeles Times, is feeling a chill this winter from fewer Canadian tourists. "Sure, you-know-who is trying to stir things up back in DC, but don't let that ruin your beach plans," Newsom said in a campaign video. "California is the ultimate playground — over 2,000 miles from Washington and a world away in mindset." According to Visit California, the number of Canadian visitors to the state still fell by over 18% in 2025 compared to the year prior, slipping to 1.4 million. In 2024, Visit California showed that 1.7 million Canadians visited the state and spent around $3.7 billion. Even Disney, the happiest place on earth, is feeling the impact as international travelers skip the US. In the Walt Disney Company's first-quarter earnings report earlier in February, the company said it is facing "international visitation headwinds" at its US parks, including Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California. Visit Florida lists Canada as the state's top source of international visitors, with around 3.4 million travelers from Canada to the state in 2024. In 2025, the state saw a 15% year-over-year drop, according to Visit Florida, with only 2.9 million visitors from Canada. Canadian airlines Air Transat and WestJet are also suspending all or some flights from Canada to the US this summer. "We saw a notable decline in transborder travel demand throughout 2025," Julia Kaiser, media relations advisor for WestJet, told Global News earlier in February. "As a result, we made timely decisions to modify our network to stay aligned with where Canadians want to go." The slowdown in trips to the US doesn't mean that Canadians are no longer traveling. Longwoods International said that 45% of Canadian travelers who changed their plans for a US trip now say they would substitute it with a domestic trip, while about a quarter of prospective travelers are looking toward Europe, Mexico, and the Caribbean. As of February 17, China also opened up visa-free entry for all Canadian citizens, allowing up to 30 days of travel for business, tourism, family visits, or transit.
