Conde Nast Traveler Magazine

Pros: Well-researched, well-written articles, exotic or off-the-beaten-path locales, photography, traveler tips, Ombudsman & Perrin Report
Cons: Emphasis is on luxury vacations and accommodations. I can't afford these trips. Pricey newsstand issues

Conde Nast Traveler is a high quality travel and lifestyles magazine aimed at upscale experienced travelers. The magazine calls itself "...an insider's guide to the outside world." Conde Nast magazine incorporates European Travel & Life. Inside the...

Pros: Longer stories are sometimes fascinating; Low Subscription price; Unknown gems of the world are uncovered.
Cons: Places and merchandise are often expensive; Inconsistency in magazine length; Fashion articles thrown in

Travel magazines are among my favorite publications. I presently subscribe to about 5 different magazines relating to domestic and world travel, with a few that focus on specific areas of the world and a few that are more global in scope, with information ...

Pros: Photographs, helpful hints, ombudsman column
Cons: Often writes about only the most expensive hotels, too many ads

During these dog days of summer here in Florida, where the humidity often makes the air feel so stifling that I almost can't breathe , I love to curl up in my air-conditioned house with my newest issue of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, and read about ...

Pros: intriguing articles and places to visit, large magazine, subscription price
Cons: large amount of advertising, issue price

Considering that I refuse to buy magazines, I always end up with a lot of them to read. One of my co-workers subscribes to at least fifteen magazines and is always bringing them to work when she is done with them. Not reading them at work, mind you, if...

Pros: Some very informative sections like the Ombudsman, the Perrin Report et al....Colorful
Cons: Far too much emphasis on fashion photo shoots, advertising, and islands

I have been getting the Conde Nast Traveler for several years now. It is well worth the twelve dollars a year it costs me. Get the subscription, as it's certainly not worth the $4.50 cover price. Also, do not be confused here. The Conde...

Pros: Low cost subscription; 12 issues per year; some inspirational photos.
Cons: Very little travel information, almost no affordable travel information.

I got Conde Nast Traveler as a free subscription. So far, I have received 4 issues and I am still waiting for a travel article, or even perhaps just a teeny tidbit of information, that I could find useful. Most of the articles that actually talk about d ...

Pros: Great photos, interesting and varied articles about fascinating subjects, historical and cultural focus
Cons: Not budget conscious

I recently started receiving my much anticipated subscription to Conde Nast Traveler. I’m quite addicted to travel and also to magazine subscriptions, so for me this magazine sounded like a perfect choice. So far I’ve really enjoyed the ...

Pros: Some good articles and fine contributors.
Cons: Much too many ads. Poor photography as compared to the ads.

Perhaps I'm an anti-cosmopolitan snob but this low maintenance dude doesn't care for this is highly-polished, slick magazine with glossy pages and enough adds that make me believe that I'm the only dude without the stash to even place a deposit on any ...

Pros: Good for fantasy vacations only
Cons: Poor for use by real people for travel planning

I've been a subscriber to this magazine for years, and frankly, I don't know why. Conde Nast Traveler actually has the gall to bill itself on the cover as "Truth In Travel" and says that they do not accept free travel and they...

Pros: Occasional insightful and interesting articles
Cons: Excessive ads, poor idea of what constitutes "budget", useless articles

When he's not dashing around the casinos of Monaco, racing through the streets of Vienna in his Aston Martin, and checking into the honeymoon suite at the Ritz Carlton, James Bond spends his time leafing through Conde Nast picking up tips on "budget...

Pros: photography, good articles
Cons: a little text heavy

I wish I had more time to travel. Unlike my monniker (modern gypsy), I'm pretty much a stay-at-home, daytrip-a-lot kind of chickadee.

That doesn't mean I don't have a lust for it, and I have to say, Conde Nast Traveler magazine gives...

Pros: Well worth the money
Cons: It is heavy to carry when travelling

If you are a regular traveler, this magazine is a must for you. Put it on your birthday list and find out who does the best in the world of travel and travel related services. It is truly a treat to sit and look at this publication once a month. It...

Pros: Interesting, stunning photos and amazing trips
Cons: Some may find the price too expensive

I have been a subscriber to the Conde Nast magazine now for just over a year and find it to be the best travel magazine out there. There are plenty of reasons for this but first I'll tell you a little about the mag for those who don't know what it is or ...

Pros: Photography, Small gems of good info for frequent travelers.
Cons: Snotty, Too Glam for it's own good, Wannabe chic.

Personally I have a like/hate feeling towards this magazine. On one side there are a few informative nuggets of very useful info for crazy frequent travelers like myself, and the Ombudsman is great, however on the other side, the magazine takes itself...

Pros: A dreamers magazine, always listing the best and most expensive.
Cons: Not practical for most travelers.

We got the Conde Nast Traveler at a special price but did not resubscribe. It's flashy but dull, featuring beautiful young ladies in exotic locations. None of these expensive hotels, restaurants, etc., even sounded interesting or fun.

The...
