This winter’s holiday travel was filled with fun and excitement. But as we go deeper into the coldest parts of winter, it leaves many of us dreaming of travel to warmer, more relaxing destinations.
Travel Restrictions for Americans
With Europe tightening restrictions on entry for Americans in 2025, it’s a good idea to know all the other wonderous places in the world where Americans can still enter visa-free. But there are still so many travel destinations that don’t require that extra step of attaining a visa.
For instance, Alaska Airlines will be soon be offering daily nonstop flights from Seattle to Tokyo and Seoul in 2025. And both Japan and South Korea offer visa-free travel for Americans.
A Powerful Passport
The U.S. passport currently ranks as the 8th most powerful passport globally according to the Arton Capital Passport Index. And it has a mobility score of 172. A U.S. passport allows travelers into 116 countries without having to obtain a visa beforehand.
