Spring is here! Winter has taken its final bow, and with consistently warmer temperatures setting in after a brutally cold season, we're beyond thrilled to enjoy fresh blooms and longer, sunny days (even if it does come with a little rain). To help put us in a cheery mood, we're looking forward to a playlist of tunes with "good vibes" written all over it.

Billboard compiled the ultimate collection of songs to help usher in the new season, and it’s bound to make the perfect soundtrack for those spring cleaning days up ahead, strawberry picking, or bike rides through the park. The iconic music publication’s staff-curated roundup includes 15 of the “Best Songs About Spring Showers, Flowers & Everything in Between,” listed in no particular order. Appropriately, Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong's jazz ballad, "April in Paris," made the cut of quintessential spring staples.

This year, the 1956 classic celebrates its 70th anniversary, and even seven decades after its release, it remains a timeless anthem. The track is dreamy and nostalgic, capturing the feeling of falling in love in a romantic setting while surrounded by the beauty of Paris in springtime.

“I never knew the charm of spring / I never met it face to face / I never knew my heart could sing / I never missed a warm embrace / Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom / Holiday tables under the trees / April in Paris, this is a feeling / That no one can ever reprise,” the legendary musicians express.

Released in October 1956 as part of the album Ella and Louis, the charming duet was originally written by Vernon Duke and Yip Harburg for the Broadway musical Walk a Little Faster. A live version of the iconic six-and-a-half-minute rendition was also recorded in July 1957 at the Newport Jazz Festival and released two years later.

History is being made tomorrow and you won't want to miss it.

NASA's Artemis II mission lifts off at 6:24 p.m. ET on Wednesday, April 1 from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and you can watch every second of it live on NASA's official YouTube channel, with coverage beginning at 12:50 p.m. ET. There are three available launch windows across April 1, 2, and 3, with Wednesday carrying an 80 percent chance of favorable weather. If the April 1 window holds, it's a go.

So what exactly are we watching? For the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972, NASA is sending a crewed mission toward the moon. The four astronauts aboard will spend 10 days in space, completing two loops around Earth before heading toward the moon—not to land, but to orbit it, testing the technologies NASA needs for future surface missions and, eventually, Mars. The crew will travel more than 280,000 miles from Earth, surpassing the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970.

The mission was originally scheduled for February but was delayed following a hydrogen leak and pressurization issue. NASA also has its sights set on putting boots on the lunar surface by 2028 with Artemis IV.

Commander Reid Wiseman is set to lead the team alongside pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian mission specialist Jeremy Hansen. Hansen will be the first Canadian, Koch the first woman, and Glover the first Black astronaut to travel to deep space. "It's about human history," Glover said at a March 27 press conference. "It's the story of humanity, not Black history, not women's history, but that it becomes human history."

The crew will also be traveling with a stuffed mascot named Rise, a zero-gravity indicator designed by a second-grader from Mountain View, California. The mascot will float the moment they reach space.

If the April 1 launch goes ahead as planned, the crew splashes down in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego on April 10.

Andy Cohenis sharing his thoughts about the rumors that Summer House co-stars West Wilson and Amanda Batula are romantically involved.

During a March 30 interview with Access Hollywood for the premiere ofThe Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Cohen was asked if he believes the rumors have any merit. Cohen responded that he didn't "have any new information about these guys." He told Bravo fans to "keep watching Summer House," which is currently in its 10th season, for more insight. He also noted that the cast will soon come together for the season 10 reunion, which he will moderate.

"I'm seeing everything that's being talked about online and we're, you know, shooting the reunion in a few weeks and I'm sure we'll talk about everything," said Cohen during the Access Hollywood interview.

West Wilson & Kyle Cooke Have Addressed the Rumors

People magazine reported that the Batula-and-Wilson rumors began circulating in March 2026. Batula and her now-estranged husband, Summer House star Kyle Cooke, announced their separation in January 2026, per People magazine. In addition, Wilson had a romance with his Summer House castmate and Batula's friend, Ciara Miller, for a few months before calling it quits in December 2023.

The publication reported that Wilson addressed the rumors that he wasn't just friends with Batula during the March 24 episode of Watch What Happens Live, hosted by Cohen. Wilson stated that Batula was "a friend."

"That's a very important person to me, and I care about her a lot," said Wilson during the March 24 episode.

Wilson also said that he and Batula "were just hanging out in New York" because he wanted "to show her the streets a little bit."

According to People magazine, Cooke said he didn't believe the rumors during the March 10 episode of Watch What Happens Live. However, he suggested that he would be concerned for Miller on the chance he was proven wrong.

"It would certainly catch me by surprise and it would feel a little reckless. And I think I'd probably be the last person people would be worried about. I think Ciara would probably have something to say," said the 43-year-old in the Watch What Happens Live interview.

He clarified that he would give his blessing if Batula found happiness in a potential relationship with Wilson, who joined the Summer House cast during season 8.

"If it made Amanda happy, I think I just would have to vote yay," said Cooke, who wed Batula in 2021.

If you’re a traveler who loves animals, gardens, museums, and great food, there’s one Midwest destination that quietly delivers on all fronts. According to USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium has once again been named the best zoo in the nation, a title it has earned for multiple years thanks to millions of votes from readers and travelers alike.

But the zoo is just the beginning. Omaha, Nebraska, pairs this top‑ranked wildlife experience with botanical beauty, cultural institutions, and some seriously good steak. For anyone planning a road trip, weekend getaway, or family vacation, this city has a lot more to offer than you might assume at first glance.

Explore the latest travel stories and updates by subscribing to our newsletter.

Why This Zoo Tops the List for Travelers

The Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium blends immersive habitats, education, conservation, and fun in ways that appeal to visitors of all ages. The zoo’s expert-designed exhibits span everything from the world’s largest indoor rainforest and desert habitats to engaging nocturnal environments and intimate animal encounters.

Walking through the zoo feels more like exploring connected worlds than just moving between cages. In the African Grasslands exhibit, lions, giraffes, and zebras roam across 28 acres of landscape that mirrors their natural environment. Meanwhile, indoor attractions like the Lied Jungle, which is one of the largest indoor rainforests in the world, immerse you in tropical sights and sounds, complete with simulated rain showers.

You could spend days at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and still not see it all. From the world’s largest indoor desert to the lush, steamy depths of the indoor rainforest, every corner is packed with jaw-dropping habitats and unforgettable encounters. This isn’t just a zoo — it’s an epic journey across continents, all in one place. #HenryDoorlyZoo #OmahaZoo #ZooAdventure #FamilyFun #WildlifeWonder #ExploreMore #ZooDays #NatureLovers #TravelNebraska #HiddenGems #BucketListZoo #AnimalEncounters #MustSeeAttraction #LuckytobeLocal

For history and culture, there’s the Durham Museum, housed in a beautifully preserved Art Deco train station. Exhibits highlight regional history and artifacts, bringing Omaha’s past to life.

Where to Eat, Drink, and Experience Local Flavor

No travel story is complete without mentioning food, and Omaha has its share of delicious culinary traditions. The city is known for high-quality steak, with spots like Gorat’s Steak House standing out as a classic institution. Founded in 1944 and famously frequented by billionaire investor Warren Buffett, Gorat’s still pulls diners for its thick T-bone steaks and old-school charm.

If steak isn’t your thing, Omaha’s dining scene also offers creative gastropubs, international cuisine, and farm-to-table restaurants tucked into neighborhood enclaves. Pair that with a local brew or regional wine, and you have a culinary experience that complements your outdoor and cultural explorations.

How to Experience Omaha as a Traveler

Visiting Omaha feels like uncovering a well-kept secret. It’s energetic without being overwhelming, and it rewards curiosity in a way few cities do. Whether you’re there for the zoo, the gardens, the art, or the food, Omaha manages to mix big-city culture with a warm, approachable Midwestern vibe.

Here are a few travel tips for making the most of your trip:

• Plan a mix of indoor and outdoor activities. Omaha’s seasons can be varied, so having options like gardens and museums makes the itinerary flexible.
• Give yourself time to stroll. The best experiences in Omaha are the ones you stumble upon, a tucked-away gallery, a shaded park bench, a café with pastries worth lingering over.
• Eat locally and often. Nebraska beef is famous for a reason, and Omaha’s chefs know how to dress it well.

In the end, Omaha proves that you don’t need a coastal skyline or a mountain backdrop to be a world-class travel destination. Sometimes, you just need a world-class zoo, rich cultural hubs, lush gardens, and a great steak dinner to make a city unforgettable.

Stops along the way include Utah, Arizona, Illinois, California, New York and more.

Described as a "thrilling fusion of film and live music," the website description reveals that audiences are invited" for "the ultimate movie concert experience as Ghostbusters is presented on a large HD cinema screen."

It further notes that there will be a live orchestra on-stage performing "the spine-tingling score, which has been artfully reconstructed for this live-to-film production."

Blockbuster Film and Iconic Theme Song = Roaring Success

The success of Ghostbusters as a blockbuster film has long gone hand-in-hand with the chart-topping theme song, as the rare combo made them both a cultural phenomenon for decades after its June 1984 release.

The supernatural comedy—about a team of scientists who get fired and decide to open up a ghost-busting business, who then "stumble upon a gateway to another dimension" that releases evil upon the city and requires them to save New York from complete destruction—became one of the biggest films of the year, grossing over $290 million worldwide.

In addition to the big names attached to the project, the theme song of the same name by Ray Parker Jr. became a massive hit with its catchy and iconic hook.

It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, staying there for three weeks, and even scored a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. The single also sees spikes in popularity and airtime every Halloween.

Not only was it a defining '80s blockbuster, it spawed a long-lasting legacy with several sequels and spinoffs, including the most recent release in 2024, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

So, it only makes sense to honor both the film on its 42 anniversary and the iconic music that added to its success and longevity with a live concert experience.

Marvel fans have been counting down since last Tuesday, and the wait is over. Episodes 2 and 3 of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 are dropping simultaneously on Disney+ at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 31. It's an unusual double release for a show that will otherwise be rolling out episodes one at a time, and the reason is at least partly practical. The two-episode drop helps clear the schedule for The Punisher: One Last Kill, a Marvel special presentation featuring Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle, due on May 12.

The two new installments are titled 'Shoot the Moon' and 'The Scales & the Sword.' Each runs between 50 and 60 minutes. After tonight, the season returns to its weekly pace, with new episodes landing every Tuesday through the May 5 finale.

For viewers who need a quick catch-up: Season 2 finds Mayor Wilson Fisk with a tightened grip on New York City, hunting down the vigilante known as Daredevil while Matt Murdock works in the shadows to build a resistance against Fisk's Anti-Vigilante Task Force. It's a darker, more focused chapter than the first season, and critics have noticed.

Season 2 currently holds a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 69 reviews — well above the 87% the first season received in 2025, and the second-highest rating of any live-action MCU series on Disney+. Reviewers have praised the show's grittier tone, stronger performances, and a narrative confidence that feels much closer in spirit to the original Netflixrun.

One of the biggest draws this season is the return of a familiar face from that Netflix era. Krysten Ritter is reprising her role as Jessica Jones, joining Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and Detective Cherry as part of the resistance against Kingpin. It's a reunion fans of the original Defenders lineup have been hoping for, and early audience response has been enthusiastic.

The season also confirms that Born Again Season 3 is already in production, with filming having begun in March 2026 and a target release of March 2027. So for viewers just catching up now, there's plenty more of this story still to come.

Daredevil: Born Again is available on both Disney+ and Hulu.

Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys musical legend, is being honored by his beloved daughter, Carnie Wilson.

Carnie, 57, who skyrocketed to fame as a singer with Wilson Phillips, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a touching throwback photo of her father, known as one of the most talented musicians of the 20th century.

"On the flower power cruise having breakfast, looking out at the sea, this song came on the speakers... I'm crying because I know he's here with me," Carnie wrote on the photo, which she captioned "Daddy❤️🌈❤️." In the picture, she's presenting her father, who died in 2025 at age 82, with a chocolate cake as he sits back in a leather chair.

Carnie Wilson's Health Battles

Back in September, Wilson opened up about some of her own health struggles. As she sat in her car, the singer spoke candidly with followers as she detailed the “intense” recovery that followed swelling and high blood pressure.

“OK, the official update. My daughter’s getting a prescription for me right now, but I am out of the hospital,” Wilson, 57, shared in a video. “I had some swelling in the legs that kept getting worse. Needed to go back into the hospital because of high blood pressure. It was very scary, but after a couple of days there, we changed the meds. And the swelling has gone down and, like, almost gone.”

View this post on Instagram

Earlier that month, Wilson shared with followers that she was having her lap band, which she had put in in 2012, removed.  

“I am finally over this hump, recovering from my lap-band surgery, lap-band removal,” Wilson had shared.

 Following the harrowing experience, Wilson also noted that “they actually found an obstruction with food inside the lap band.”

Despite the nightmare of the situation, Wilson was nothing but grateful for the staff of the hospital who were with her every step of the way, and said she is “just so, so lucky to have gotten through this.” 

“It really put a new perspective on some health things for me,” said Wilson. “So I’m recovering. It’s going great, and I love you guys and I appreciate if anybody had said any prayers or anything, so thank you and … on the mend!” 

What is Carnie Wilson's Health and Wellness Regimen?

Wilson is more dialed into health and wellness than ever. During a previous interview with Fox News Digital, she explained that she’s finally found peace with her diet.

“It’s a balance every day. It’s not perfect. I’m just trying not to eat sugar. I have a little tiny bit, like in a granola bar, maybe, but I find that it affects my mood. It affects my energy level,” she said. “So, eating healthier. It’s all about taking care of myself and I think that it’s connected, you know? What I put in my mouth makes a big difference. If I eat an apple, I feel better. If I eat sugar, I don’t feel good. So it really makes a difference. It’s how I take care of myself.”

She also made it clear that while she’s fine with other people using GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, she’s not okay with using them herself.

“That scares me. I won’t do it. I just had a friend who was hospitalized, so it’s not going to happen for me,” she shared.

Netflix released a show questioning if love can stand the test of a large age gap with Age of Attraction. Singles from 22 to 60 years old dated at a retreat, but they weren't allowed to reveal their ages.

Once two people commit to each other in the promise room, they exchange rings and reveal their ages. They live together, meet each other's family and friends, and in the finale decide if they'll leave together or break up. Will the reality show return for a second season?

Age of Attraction Is Renewed for Season 2

Netflix announced the new experiment will return for another season on March 31. It's unknown if season 2 will have eight episodes or more. The first season of Love Is Blind had 11 episodes then a reunion. Season 10 had 12 episodes before the reunion.

"We love concepts that are impossible to look away from and Age of Attraction nailed that from day one," Jennifer O’Connell & Rebecca Quinn, Executive Producers & Co-Founders of Velvet Hammer Media, said in the announcement. "It’s messy, it’s real and that’s what makes it fun to watch. Huge thanks to Netflix for embracing this dating experiment with us. The response has been incredible, and we're excited to push it even further in Season 2."

Season 1's reunion won't be on Netflix. Hosts Nick Viall and Natalie Joy will conduct it on their podcast, The Viall Files on April 1. They previously released interviews with cast members throughout the season. The couple is known for their reality TV interviews.

Everyone from the main couples will be there except for Pfeiffer Hill. The 23-year-old student committed to Derrick Fleming. He'll reveal what happened between them after the season.

In the comments, Instagram users shared their reactions to the royal news. One follower declared, "Donald Trump is the king of trolling. With all the no kings protests Happening he decided to bring a king to the White House."

Another echoed, "I feel like this is next level MAGA trolling bringing a real king to America when we just had a no king protest."

Someone else wrote, "The people of the UK are furious about this, in case anyone was in doubt."

Meanwhile, a different Instagram user commented, "God bless you Mr president 🫡🫶."


The news came after more than 8 million people gathered in cities across the nation on Saturday, March 28, to protest Trump and his administration. Over 3,300 "No Kings" protests were held across all 50 states.

In September, the POTUS and first lady traveled to visit the British royal family during a two-day trip to the U.K. They arrived in London on Sept. 17, during which Trump broke royal protocol while greeting Kate Middleton and Prince Williamat Windsor Castle.

In 2026, the shift toward warm minimalism has redefined how we view storage, moving away from utilitarian plastic bins toward high-quality materials that double as decorative accents. The goal for many homeowners is to find versatile solutions that can anchor a room's design while discreetly tucking away everyday essentials like blankets, magazines or tech access. When a storage piece offers a blend of rich textures and structural elegance, it transforms a simple chore into a curated styling opportunity.

Creating a sanctuary vibe within your living space requires a delicate balance of neutral tones and metallic pops. Interior designers frequently suggest utilizing "hidden storage" strategies to prevent open shelving or coffee tables from feeling overwhelmed by daily life. By integrating pieces with sophisticated finishes—such as soft cream tones or aged gold accents—you can create a sense of cohesive luxury throughout your bedroom, office or lounge.

It's been 33 years since The Wonder Years ended its run on ABC, but the cast has remained close. In recent years, they have come together several times to celebrate the pivotal coming-of-age sitcom, with Danica McKellarand Josh Saviano's most recent reunion happening at the Fanboy Expo in 2024.

For Saviano's 50th birthday, McKellar made sure to honor the guy who played Paul Pfeiffer with a montage of photos that started on The Wonder Years set and showed the pair plus many of their co-stars, including Fred Savage, Jason Hervey, Dan Lauria, and Alley Mills, as they met up over the years.

The first slide in the set of five showed Saviano with thick, black plastic-framed glasses and braces as he embraced McKellar in a promo pic, alongside another photo of the pair from two years ago. She noted the age contrast, with 36 years passing between the photos.

In the caption, she wrote, "Happy 50th BIRTHDAY to my Wonder Years co-star  @joshsaviano! My, how far we've come... We met as pre-teens and now we're in our 50's! 😋 Yes, Josh played the best friend Paul Pfeiffer, and no, he is not also Marilyn Manson. (Anybody else remember that rumor??) 😁 Grateful to have stayed in touch throughout the years. Here's to the next 50, my friend!!"

View this post on Instagram

Within minutes, Saviano saw and responded to the birthday wishes, writing, "Thanks Danica, for the birthday wishes and the lifetime of friendship and creative collaboration. Love you ❤️"

Hervey also chimed in, writing, "Joshy boy!!!!!!! Love you butthead ;) jokes aside, you’re a great man and a good friend- HBD BUDDY!!!"

The comments section quickly filled with birthday wishes for Saviano, but many weighed in on those Marilyn Manson rumors that Saviano, now a corporate lawyer, said started around 1994, when The Wonder Years was already over, and internet forums started to become popular.

"I love how that rumor made it all the way back to you guys!" one fan wrote.

Another feigned shock, writing, "Woah! You know Marilyn Manson!?!?!?"

"50 years later, still not Marilyn Manson," another mused.

What's funny about that wild rumor is that Saviano admitted it was McKellar who first told him about it. At the time, he didn't even know who the shock rocker was.

They say when you live somewhere you love, you'll never need a vacation. Apparently, that's especially true for retirees who opt to settle down in one popular vacation spot that was just named the top spot to retire in the U.S.

While there are retirement-specific factors at play here (like how your retirement income is doled out), one of the more pressing reasons this place ended up on the list has to do with how you'll be able to fill your days once you're no longer punching the clock.

View this post on Instagram Washington D.C. Named Best Place to Retire in the U.S.

Seniorly released its annual list of the best and worst states to retire in the U.S., and 2025 came with a shakeup that sees one of the country's favorite retirement destinations bumped in favor of some surprising new names. According to the report, which took a look at important retirement factors that include things like healthcare costs, retirement savings, and access to a broader community. From there, the company put together a list of the top five retirement spots, which include:

• Washington D.C.
• Montana
• Wyoming
• Alaska
• Pennsylvania

Meanwhile, New Jersey was named the worst state to retire due to affordability and access to recreational options. And while I'm a shocked as anyone that Florida is no longer on the lead (according to the report, it's actually dropped down to 18th place due to healthcare concerns), I can see why D.C. ranked so highly, especially when the report says, D.C. "is the best place to retire due to its high monthly Supplemental Security payment ($1,094) and spending on long-term care, as well as the availability of doctors and recreational opportunities."

Things to Do in Washington D.C.

While "recreational opportunities" are clearly a priority to seniors, just about anyone can enjoy everything D.C. has to offer, whether you're in town to visit or deciding whether or not you want to spend your golden years living in the political capital of our country.

For example, those who are coming into town to sightsee will want to stop at some of the city's staples, which include places like The National Mall, The Smithsonian Museums, Arlington National Cemetery, and government centers like the White House, the U.S. Capitol Building, and the Library of Congress. Want a less political list of things to do? You can also head to the Washington National Cathedral (be sure to try and spot the Darth Vader hidden figures) or take in a Washington Nationals baseball game.

Many of these places are free to visit, or else have a small fee associated with them, which makes them ideal for those living on a fixed budget and money savvy travelers.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Washington D.C.

While retirees will spend a whole lot of time here, those coming in for a quick visit can find something to do all year long. However, U.S. News and World Reports says that September through November or March to May are the best times to come into town for some sightseeing. That's because these times are produce the best weather, while also having the smallest crowds, allowing you to experience all that Washington D.C. has to offer on your own schedule and without having to deal with sweltering heat, freezing cold temperatures, or large crowds.

While I think that visiting during the city's cherry blossom festival is a must, even if you only do it once, you really can find something to do in D.C. no matter what time of year you visit.

Jensen Ackles' formerSupernatural co-stars, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins, are joining him for the fifth and final season of The Boys.

In a March 2026 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ackles, who started playing Soldier Boy during the third season of The Boys, shared that he felt a bit anxious for Padalecki and Collins to film for the hit Prime Video series.

"I was nervous to have them on," said Ackles during the Entertainment Tonight interview.

He then clarified that he just "wanted them to do good" on The Boys because he considers them a part of his family.

"We spent, you know, almost two decades together and we still see each other," said Ackles in reference to Supernatural's 15-year run. "We still do, you know, conventions together, and we still talk, you know, quite often. And I mean, we're kind of friends for life."

He then compared watching Collins and Padalecki filming their Boys scenes to "watching your son go up to bat for the first time." He clarified that Collins and Padalecki "did great" playing their unnamed Boys characters.

"I had no reason to do that but I think it's just a testament to the bond that we share. We had a great time," said Ackles, who played Dean Winchester on Supernatural, which ended in 2020.

Ackles also warned The Boys fans that the scenes he shot with Collins and Padalecki were "disgusting"and "outrageous."

"I think there were multiple days where we looked at each other, we're like, 'What are we doing?'" recalled Ackles.

He then noted that The Boys is created by Eric Kripke, the creator of Supernatural.

"We're all used to Kripke's universes, so it wasn't that shocking," said Ackles to the publication.

He also told Entertainment Tonight that it took some time for Ackles, Collins, and Padalecki to act as different characters than their Supernatural counterparts for The Boys. As Supernatural fans are aware, Padalecki played Dean's brother Sam, and Collins played angel Castiel.

"But having us together, I would say it was weird working on camera with them, playing different characters than we're used to playing with each other," said Ackles during the Entertainment Tonight interview. "And that was a little tricky. It took us a few takes to kind of shake that out, but we got there."

Jensen Ackles Shared How Jared Padalecki & Misha Collins Became Cast Members for 'The Boys' Season 5

In a June 2025 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ackles explained that Kripke, who left Supernatural following its fifth season, wanted to invite Collins and Padalecki for The Boys season 5, which premieres on April 8.

"Eric Kripke, who created Supernatural, he is also the writer-showrunner of The Boys. When he likes to work with somebody, he likes to continue working with them. And I was the benefactor of that, obviously. But then he thought, 'Oh, what a great idea. Let's just bring the cast back together. Splash the ratings a little bit,' not that it needs it," said Ackles during the June 2025 interview.

He also said he was looking forward to Collins and Padalecki's scenes on The Boys to air.

"It was a really good time. I can't wait," said the Smallville actor in the June 2025 interview.

Seasoned parents already know that traveling with small children can be an adventure. From missed nap times, to long and boring flights, plenty can and will happen to create a little chaos for you and your family. However, one mom says that her recent travel experience with her young kids went awry for a different reason, and she's sharing her story with Reddit to get advice on what she could do to rectify it.

According to her, everything went sideways due to a ticketing error, which she claims the airline failed to adequately address, causing her family to miss their flight.

A Family Claims They Were Denied Boarding Due to Airline's Error

The Redditor took to the popular Travel subreddit to share the story of what happened when she, her husband, and their two toddlers tried to head out of town for a long-haul flight with Iberia airlines. According to her, the issues first started as soon as the family arrived to the airport, which they were sure to get to early so that they could get through check-in quickly.

"At the counter, we were told we couldn’t check our bags because one our child’s boarding pass showed only an initial instead of the full first name," she recalled, noting that while all the tickets had only the initials, but it only appeared to be an issue for their youngest child. According to her, the names had all been entered correctly at the time of booking and the online check-in, so the issue only presented itself once they arrived at the airport.

"The staff themselves told us this was due to a limitation/error in the airline’s system and that we needed to call customer service to fix it," she continued, adding that this is when things began to fall apart.

Despite following the airline's directions and calling customer service, the OP said she was repeatedly passed around to different agents, where she received conflicting information. Finally, she said they were told the best course of action was to delete the younger child's ticket from the system to reissue it with his full name, which created a whole new batch of issues. Eventually, she says that they were able to check their bags, get through airport security, and arrive to their gate.

But, the gate agent closed the door just as they were arriving, telling the family that they couldn't hold the flight any longer. "And just like that, we were left there, after nearly two hours of trying to fix their mistake, following every instruction, and being rushed through the airport, only to be denied boarding at the very end," she wrote.

Unfortunately, the OP claims she has not received any help from the airline, including during the rebooking process, where she said she had to do everything at her own expense.

"To make matters worse, Iberia later claimed that the situation was entirely our fault, arguing that we should have checked the name on the boarding pass more carefully, despite the fact that the issue originated from their own system and was acknowledged as such by their staff," she concluded.

People Offered Advice on How She Should Handle Things

I think one of the nice things about Reddit communities like this, is the way that people come together to offer thoughtful advice about these kinds of situations, which is exactly what happened in the comments of the post.

Because they were traveling from the European Union, many people suggested filing an EU261 claim as part of the governments passenger rights plans. While the U.S. doesn't have a similar process, you can file complaints like this with the Department of Transportation via the agency's website, which don't include matters of safety or security, but instead cover:

• Discrimination when it comes to disability or discrimination
• Cancelled or delayed flights
• Lost and damaged baggage issues
• Routine claims

However, the Department of Transportation does suggest trying to go through the airline before reaching out to them. Since it seems like the OP was unable to get restitution through Iberia, filing a complaint through the EU may be her only option.

Meanwhile some Redditors offered her some more aggressive advice, which included reaching out to the credit card company she used to pay for the trip to request a reversal of the charges, and filing a report with consumer advocacy groups that specialize in getting involved in these kinds of issues.

While the OP and her family did eventually make it to their planned destination, it seems like this sour note set the tone for their whole trip, highlighting how important it is to arrive early to the airport in case issues like these arise.

Bravo’s Below Deck franchise got even hotter when Captain Jason Chambers joined the cast. The Below Deck Down Under breakout star is a fan favorite for more than his rugged good looks. A steadfast professional, Captain Jason leads with kindness and compassion, making all of us want to be yachties. 

Not only do we admire the Aussie’s adventurous spirit, but as it turns out, he’s also a doting dad and sweet son. In a recent Instagram post, Chambers wished his mom a very special 80th birthday. But that’s not all. He also opened up about his almost-tween daughter, Saskia.

Chambers captioned his post, “Mum’s birthday this year felt like one of those moments you don’t take for granted.” The captain went on to explain, “She’s worked hard her whole life…as a nurse, raising us, and now caring for Dad through Alzheimer’s. Always putting others first, no matter what.”

As if his sweet message didn’t already warm our hearts, the reality TV star also added, “Being able to bring Saskia back to Australia to celebrate with the whole family meant a lot to me. Moments like this don't come around often, and you realise how important it is kidt to be there for the. Happy birthday Mum.”

Along with the poignant message, the Below Deck Down Under celeb shared a few precious memories from his “mum’s” birthday. The carousel of sentimental snapshots includes a group pic with his mother in front of her (delicious-looking) birthday cake, a family dinner out, a quick video clip of a treadmill workout with daughter Saskia, and a few daddy-daughter selfies. 

As a captain, Chambers doesn’t often get to spend quality time with his family. In the first season of Below Deck Down Under, he candidly revealed, during an interview about his daughter, “Being away from her hurts every day.” The seasoned boating pro added, “There’s no words for how much I love my daughter. Everything’s about her.” 

Of course, being away for his job doesn’t stop Chambers from keeping tabs on his kiddo. He also said, “I’m enjoying to watch this little girl grow. She’s got empathy, she’s got humor, she’s got adventure…I think she’s a littl me—and her mother, mostly—but I can see me in her a lot, the more she gets older.” 

While Chambers and his daughter’s mother are no longer together, the captain told Chef Tzarina, during season 2 of the show, “Saskia’s mother is fantastic…We run a business together, we co-parent, and I’ve learned a lot by watching her.” 

Between his Instagram posts and interviews, we’ve learned a lot about Captain Jason, too. He’s much more than a hunky reality TV star. Chambers is a thoughtful son, loving father, and so much more!

Bindi Irwin is sharing her painful experience with an "invisible disease" to shine a light on what so many women go through.

On March 30, Irwin took to Instagram with a post that included photos of her in a hospital bed as she reflected on her own experience with endometriosis.

"In the last three years, I've had over 50 endometriosis lesions cut out of my body," she explained in the caption. "A chocolate cyst that was adhering my ovary to my side was removed. An appendectomy and a hernia repair. I've felt indescribable, inescapable pain."

She continued, "Trying to keep my invisible illness to myself after being told by doctors it was just 'part of being a woman.' I spent 10 years being undiagnosed. As a teenager and young woman, I felt weak and deeply insecure. I was trapped in my own body."

"March is endometriosis awareness month," the Dancing With the Stars alum shared. "As this month comes to a close, I urge everyone to remember this invisible disease each and every day. To lend support, compassion and grace towards the millions who suffer."

Irwin shared, "It's up to all of us to raise awareness, not just for endometriosis but for women's health as a whole. No one deserves to suffer in silence."

"For more information I turned to @seckinmd and @endofound. If you're in pain, my heart breaks for you," she added. "I believe you. Please find answers. And don't give up on yourself. I know how hard that can be."

Irwin's mother, Terri Irwin, commented, "I am so proud of you for sharing your journey, Bindi. I have learned that it is important for women to seek out a surgeon who performs excision surgery instead of ablation. Everyone deserves to live without pain!"

Fans flooded the comments section to praise Irwin for continuing to raise awareness about endometriosis.

"You are truly the reason I did my research on endometriosis and was diagnosed with stage 4 endo," one fan wrote.

Another fan noted, "Thank you for speaking up and sharing your story! It helps us other endo warriors!"

Fans of the late, great Toby Keith have a real treat to look forward to later this year when his greatest hits become available on vinyl for the first time ever—just over two years since his untimely death.

The country legend's label, Universal Music Enterprises, is planning on pressing his 35 biggest hits on a three-LP set, available to pre-order now and releasing on May 22—just in time for Memorial Day, which happens to kick off one of the most popular times of the year for Keith's music.

According to a press release shared with Parade, last July, Keith's music reached over two billion people, leading Billboard to dub him the "biggest winner" of the Independence Day holiday. This followed the collection's original release on CD in 2008, and a streaming surge in 2024, likely linked to his death, that had the album skyrocketing to No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Top 200. Overall, it's spent over 275 weeks in the Top 200.

What Songs Are Featured as Toby Keith's Biggest Hits?

The compilation starts off strong with Keith's hit debut single, "Should've Been A Cowboy," and spans his catalogue through 2006. Here's the full tracklist:

Plus, 2 of Keith's Albums Are Celebrating Major Anniversaries

Before the rerelease of 35 Biggest Hits, Keith's third album, Blue Moon, celebrates its 30th anniversary with a Dolby Atmos remix, out on April 10, and his 11th album, White Trash With Money, marks 20 years.

Keith is also set to be honored with a Special Director's Award at this year's Western Heritage Awards, presented by the National Cowboy Museum's board. It's a "rare and distinguished honor...presented only when an individual’s contributions reach an exceptional level of excellence," specifically to individuals who show "a profound commitment to preserving, interpreting, and elevating the spirit of the American West, leaving a lasting and enduring impact."

This year, Keith's home state of Oklahoma also honored the late superstar when the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority renamed a stretch of highway the “Toby Keith Expressway.”

Keith died at 62 following a harrowing battle with stomach cancer. A statement from his family shared that he died "peacefully," surrounded by his family, after a "grace[ful] and courage[ous]" fight. Sadly, just a few months prior, the singer felt he was "turning a corner" with his health, and had just recently begun returning to the spotlight.

Why Is Sheinelle Jones Missing From Today?

As for the reason for her weeklong absence, it's nothing to be concerned about. According to TV Insider, Jones will be off the whole week to take some personal time.

While Jones is spending time with her three children, Kayin, Clara, and Uche, it’s not all play and no work for the host, as she's also using the time to promote her new book, “Through Mom’s Eyes."

To kick off the promo tour, the host went back to her roots, stopping by Fox 29 in Philadelphia to talk about her book. During her visit, she got emotional being reminded of the station where it all began, admitting to almost crying when she arrived and saw her former colleague, Karen Hepp.

“There’s so much love in this city, and I’m just happy to be here,” Jones gushed during her interview.

Jones’ book “Through Mom’s Eyes” is all about candid conversations and motherhood, focusing on her stories and those of other famous faces and their mothers.

Who Is Filling In for Sheinelle Jones on Today This Week?

Actor and comedian Matt Rogers filled in for Jones on Monday, March 30, withJenna Bush Hager. The latter didn’t say much about Jones' absence.

The duo simply addressed Jones' absence by noting, “Sheinelle is off,” before getting on with the rest of the program.

Instead, Todayhost Willie Geist will fill in for Jones for the rest of the week to help Hager with an exciting lineup of guests. Olivia Munn, Sharon Stone,Jaafar Jackson, and Arsenio Hall are all expected to appear on the show.

Today with Jenna & Sheinelle airs weekdays on NBC.
