With school back in session and cooler temperatures creeping in, it’s time to start planning winter family travel. While Destination Kohler, a 5-star and Five-Diamond resort in Kohler, Wisconsin, boasts plentiful warm-weather activities — like golf, fishing, canoeing and more — it also transforms into a welcoming wonderland in winter. Its Frozen Fairways programming includes a variety of inclusive activities appealing to a wide range of travelers.

Share Miles with Family and Friends with United Airlines

As you look ahead to winter travel, United Airlines and its MileagePlus loyalty program introduced MileagePlus miles pooling, which allows members to contribute and combine miles into a joint account. Groups of up to five members can now share and redeem miles in one linked account. As the first and only major U.S. airline to offer this feature, United also allows any MileagePlus member, whether relatives or close friends, to be in a pool with other members.
