Adventurous souls craving new sights, sounds, and lands can happily start to plan their trips now, as there are new direct flights paths opening in 2019. Direct flights save time and allow wanderers to get to their destinations quicker, which is always a plus. Travelers with itchy feet who are based in the United States or the United Kingdom have a variety of possibilities for new journeys in the upcoming year. Wherever your wanderlust is guiding you, there’s a good chance that there is an exciting new flight path to take you there!
