Travel & Leisure Magazine

Pros: Good photos, stories, tips and discounts, has a national geographic edge.
Cons: Too many advertisements. Expensive shopping!

I thought I'd perhaps write some magazine reviews ... what better way to get the cramps out of my fingers and brain when it comes to writing and getting into the swing of things.
My first choice is Travel & Leisure magazine. Being an avid...

Pros: some interesting travel ideas and tidbits, incredible vacation ideas, nice photos
Cons: many of the trips and ideas are beyond many people's means

Written for the well-to-do and jet-set travelers among us, Travel & Leisure magazine covers destinations (and the accompanying lifestyles) that vary from tropical island paradises no one has heard of to all American cities. While anyone with an ...

Pros: great photos; diversity of places reported; photographs
Cons: lots of ads

No, it's not the actual cost of the magazine that is going to drain me of my life savings, but rather the cause-and-effect the magazine has on me.

I am a travel addict. The more places I visit, the more places I realize I have to get...

Pros: Each issue will ALWAYS have some unique articles about fascinating places
Cons: ADS, ADS, MORE ADS! Each issue also has "schlock" pieces...

I have mixed feelings about Travel + Leisure magazine. I'm always ready to take a good virtual trip, and sometimes I absolutely love the way the magazine's articles can carry my mind away to faraway places (especially the articles that ...

Pros: lots of articles and information, good writing
Cons: very general, not targeting regular people

I started getting this magazine in the mail for free many months ago. I am not sure why someone would think I was a candidate for subscribership. to it. I never go anywhere (outside of my state) and if I did - I couldn't afford to go to half the places...

Pros: Knows its readers, great writing, makes you want to get up and go
Cons: Overly busy format

"Travel & Leisure" knows it readers well. For a magazine of its kind, that's essential. And it is apparent that T&L, as it calls itself, wants to make this obvious. It succeeds and readers are blessed because of it.

Pros: Photography, Informative reading
Cons: Mainly targets upper middle and upper class individuals

Travel & Leisure is the best of all the travel- related magazines. It offers the reader outstanding journalism, enticing photography, and a wealth of information on popular travel destinations as well as lesser known destinations. Unlike other travel...

Pros: Some information on travel gadgets is good
Cons: Ads, ads, ads

This magazine is geared toward the upper-middle class and higher and probably does a good job catering to their needs. But there are far more middle class and lower people looking to get away from it all. This magazine won't help the bigger audience....

Pros: None
Cons: Boring

I just received the first issue of my subscription to this magazine. It stayed in my house for about a day. We gave it to my neighbor Jenny, who is usually grateful to receive all of our castoff travel magazines, but she didn't thank us for this one....

Pros: pretty pictures
Cons: too many ads

Just because I have an American Express card, I get this magazine. As a matter of fact, I just found out they renew it every year and I pay for it, but that's another review.
I have seen almost nothing of interest in this magazine,...

Pros: Sophisticated photography and graphic design, attention to detail. Consistent level of quality.
Cons: Many ads. Snobbish, small-minded, recommends expensive accommodations.

Why I Read It
Travel and Leisure is consistent. In nearly every issue there are several articles about exotic places, accompanied by loads of photos. The pages with content usually are kept free of any ads (the back of those pages is another...

Pros: lots
Cons: none

Travel amgazine help you spend your vacation at ease. It helps you find vacation destinations that are out of the ordinary that you probably would never in your wildest dreams think of going. Every month this magazine features a hot spot. A...

Pros: Great reviews, pictures, maps, websites, vacation deal - offers
Cons: None that I know

This magazine is very interesting. I found great reviews of many islands I had not considered visiting, but that know I am curious about.

Also, for educational purposes, this is a great tool for adding fun to Geography lessons at home. Getting to know details about a country, its people, and its culture may get the reader interested in doing a little more research just for fun or previous to a visit.

I laughed out loud in amazement of the similarities I found between some Italian customs and my own (I am originally from Nicaragua)
