Explore Sapphire Reserve’s Latest Travel Magazine: The Big Trip Issue
With Sapphire Reserve, travel is even more rewarding. In the latest issue of our travel magazine, learn how eligible cardmembers can get the most out of their benefits and earn 8x points on flights, hotels, local activities and more when booking through Chase Travel.
Every so often, life hands you a reason to go all out: a honeymoon, a victory lap, a far-flung adventure to plan, anticipate and talk about for years. And because a big trip always starts with a question, we built Sapphire Reserve’s Big Trip Issue, our latest travel magazine, around finding the destinations with the answers.
Want to contemplate your place in the universe? Namibia’s dark skies and deserts are waiting. Can’t sit still on vacation? We mapped a satisfying bike route through Japan. And if you’re stuck deciding between a minimoon now or a big honeymoon later, we’ve identified spots that make the case for doing both. We also went looking for where to have the time of your life and still come home rested, where to actually pay attention to your loved ones and where to close one chapter and start another. Plus: overwater bungalow hotels that live up to the fantasy; the places author Alison Roman goes to eat, cook and actually relax; and the coolest travelers we know on what turns a big trip into a great one.
