“Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross is the #1 unscripted show in Roku history, and now we get to do it all again with a Season 2!” Tracee said in a statement. “Thank you to Roku for your incredible partnership and care with my show, and to the amazing team that made it all possible.

As winter 2025 approaches, US airlines are rolling out a dynamic slate of new routes, including the first-ever international flights from Oklahoma, expanded Caribbean access from Atlanta, and fifth-freedom flights within Asia.

This wave of expansion points to a larger industry trend: carriers are increasingly tapping into untapped or underserved markets, making international travel more accessible. Whether travelers are hitting the ski slopes in the Western US, soaking in the Mexico sun, or setting off for adventures Down Under, these new flights open the door to more seamless, inspired escapes this winter.

The first nonstop service from the US to Adelaide

Beginning December 11, 2025, United Airlines will launch the first-ever nonstop service between the US and Adelaide, Australia. Operating from San Francisco (SFO) to Adelaide (ADL) on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, the route will offer three weekly flights through March 2026.

Often called the “20 Minutes City,” Adelaide is a dynamic, pedestrian-friendly center of arts and culture in South Australia. Start your visit at the bustling Adelaide Central Market, then explore North Terrace, home to renowned institutions such as the Art Gallery of South Australia and the South Australian Museum. Just a short drive away, the Barossa Valley beckons with award-winning wineries and picturesque vineyards.

American Airlines’ record-breaking Mexico schedule

On November 8, 2025, American Airlines will make history as the first carrier to launch international service from the state of Oklahoma. The new nonstop route from Oklahoma City (OKC) to Cancun, Mexico (CUN) will operate once per week on a Boeing 737.

Soon after, American Airlines is also launching its first-ever nonstop service to Puerto Escondido (PXM), Mexico, starting December 3, 2025. The new route, operating twice weekly from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) on Embraer 175 aircraft, provides convenient access to one of Mexico’s emerging coastal destinations. The expansion is part of American Airlines’ record-setting growth in Mexico, where it now serves 30 destinations—more than any other US carrier.

From Atlanta to St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Beginning December 20, 2025, Delta Air Lines will launch nonstop service from Atlanta (ATL) to St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVD), becoming the sole US carrier to offer direct flights from Atlanta to the island nation. The seasonal service, operated daily aboard a Boeing 737-800, will run through April 12, 2026.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year in New York City! No, Christmas isn’t here already—you’re not losing your mind or behind on your shopping—but it is August, which means that the US Open tennis tournament is about to take the city that never sleeps by storm.

From August 18 to September 7, players, coaches, and spectators from all over the world will flock to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens to watch the greatest international tennis players go head to head for the last Grand Slam of the year. Tickets are always a hot commodity—and any New Yorker, tennis fan or not, will tell you that Flushing is the place to see and be seen from late August through early September.

It makes sense: Not only is it a blast to sample the food and drinks (you must get a Honey Deuce cocktail), participate in the many on-site activations, and bobblehead your way through the matches, but it seems like everybody who’s anybody will make an appearance at least once during the tournament—from pro athletes and Grammy winners to world leaders and beyond.

Planning to join in on the action this year? You should know that there’s somewhat of a dress code when attending the matches, with patrons showing up in their tennis best while also attempting to stay cool in the late-summer heat. As someone who has attended the tournament almost every year since moving to NYC in 2017 (and fallen in love with the sport itself over the same period of time), I feel like I’ve cracked the code on what to wear to the US Open, and I’m spilling all the secrets here, for you. Read on, then get to shopping.

Elevated athleisure

Athletic wear is more than acceptable at the US Open—just try to stick to pieces that look as appropriate on the street as they do at the gym. Athleisure made for tennis is always a good bet here, like pleated skirts, workout dresses, and sweat-wicking tees in flattering cuts. Brands like Lululemon, Wilson, Athleta, and Alo are great places to look for all of the above.

Breezy tops and bottoms

Late summer in New York is hot—like, might hit the 90s midday, hot. With that in mind, you’re going to want to keep things easy and breezy when it comes to tops and bottoms. Opt for breathable materials like linen and and cotton, and styles that allow for maximum airflow, like wide-leg pants, loose-fitting tanks, and billowy skirts.

Flowy dresses

Airy summer dresses are perfect for watching tennis for a few reasons: you can catch a breeze under your skirt, you aren’t constricted by any fabric, your bare legs never have to touch a hot seat, and you’ll look super chic no matter the time of day. Solid colors and simple patterns are always classic, and blues, blacks, whites, and greens fit the sophisticated tennis vibe.

Evening layers

While the days are often hot, the temperature can drop at night. If you’re an “I’m always cold!” type, you might want to consider bringing along a lightweight layer to throw on if things get cool, whether that be a windbreaker you can fold up and throw in your bag or a cashmere cardigan or cotton button-down you can tie across your chest or around your waist.

Matching sets

The US Open tends to pull a discerning audience—and is there anything more refined than a matching set? You’ll always look put together with one of the two-piece ensembles you see below, which include matching tops, skirts, shorts, and more in sophisticated colorways. The best part: you can mix and match most to create endless outfits. Probably means you should attend more than one day of the tournament, right?

No matter whether you subway or Uber to the stadium, you will be walking…a lot. Trust me, now is not the time to be wearing those kitten heels or yet-to-be-broken-in flats, no matter how cute they may be. Prioritize comfortable footwear that you know will keep your feet happy no matter how many miles you put on them, whether that be sandals or sneakers. The kicks below are some of my personal favorites for long days on your toes.

On-theme accessories

Are these adorable accoutrements really necessary? No, they’re not. But you’ll certainly never regret donning a tennis-inspired key fob, coin purse, or jewelry piece to one of the biggest tennis tournaments on the planet. I, for one, love a theme, and am absolutely obsessed with these accessories.

Stadium-approved bags

There’s nothing worse than getting to Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and being forced to check your bag in one of the lockers at the entrance because it doesn’t meet the size requirements. For the US Open, the policy is that bags must not be larger than 12 inches in wide, 12 inches in height, and 16 inches in length. Keep this in mind when selecting your own carry-all—or just pick up one of the ones below, which fit the requirements and look good doing it.

Tools to keep cool

I cannot overemphasis how warm it can get at the US Open—especially during day matches—and shade can be a rare commodity inside the stadiums. Beat the heat with the fans, hats, sunglasses, and misting water bottles below so you don’t have to waste a precious second of game time chasing the shade.
