Trinidad via Toronto

A new daily WestJet flight from Canada's largest city to Port of Spain launches on 16 November. The timings – overnight outbound, morning inbound – make it ideal for connections to transatlantic flights, presenting an alternative to other one-stop ways of reaching Trinidad (westjet.com).

Sinai warning

The Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to much of south Sinai in Egypt. Exceptions include Red Sea resorts such Sharm el Sheikh. (fco.gov.uk/travel)

Wake up

Just Wake is a new cable wakeboarding park at Tattershall Lakes in Lincolnshire. The sport – which uses a cable to pull the participant on a wakeboard – has been shortlisted as a new Olympic sport for 2020. Adults £20 (justwake.co.uk).
