Arctic Husky Travellers

Get inspired, dogsledding day trips.

A great way to experience Svalbard’s stunning nature is to travel by dog team. With the dogs we will show you our favorite places with no disturbance from exhaust and motor sound. 

DOGS ON WHEELS

Explore the gorgeous tundra landscape in Adventdalen from a special-made wagon pulled by a husky team! We will pick you up in Longyearbyen and drive to our husky farm in Bolterdalen, 10 km outside Longyearbyen. Here, you will get warm clothes and boots for the trip, we say hello to our friendly dogs and harness them up for the trip

SUMMER EXPEDITIONS

Visit our idyllic cabin in untouched, silent Tverrdalen on a 3 day hiking trip. The only way to get there in the summer is by foot. This trip provides a very special opportunity to experience the Svalbard wilderness in all its splendor joined by our furry four-legged friends. 

We are passionate dog mushers with more than 25 years of experience with outdoor activities and dogsledding.  We have a strong focus on animal welfare and safety, and do an effort to make wise decisions to reduce our environmental footprint to a minimum. Besides tourism, we strongly engage in education, since we really enjoy sharing our knowledge and experience when it comes to travelling the Arctic landscape with our beloved huskies! 

DOGSLEDDING EXPEDITIONS

We offer both expeditions to Reinheim, our wilderness lodge in Tverrdalen and longer expeditions to the East Coast sleeping in tents. We also offer customised trips. Send us an e-mail if you don’t find the trip that fits your plans or scheduled dates. 

Our idyllic lodge Reinheim in Tverrdalen is where we like to spend most of our free time. It is majestically situated at the foot of glaciers, overlooking a valley surrounded by mountains. This is the home of reindeers which often come close to the cabin, not seeming to be afraid of our huskies. The lack of cell phone coverage make this place even more peaceful and relaxing. Here you can enjoy reading a good book or chill in a warm sauna looking at the great view!

Traveling by Air with a Husky

What's involved in moving a two-year-old Husky from Tel Aviv to the United States?

If he has his rabies, what other shots are needed? Does he need to be quarantined when he gets to the USA or can he come straight to the house? What does all this cost?

Thanks for your questions! Moving your Husky will necessitate meeting these pet import requirements for the United States . Good news: there is currently no quarantine for pets coming to the United States.

To travel smoothly, you will need to have proof that he has an up-to-date rabies vaccine and will also need an International Health Certificate issued within 10 days of departure. We recommend taking the time to choose a pet friendly airline and making sure your dog is accustomed to being in a travel crate (here are a few crate training tips for dogs getting ready to travel).

If you'd like some assistance and are interested in finding out more about our door-to-door services, please fill out our online consultation form . Every pet move is a little different, so order to offer an estimate of services we would need to know a few more details about your move. If you're interested in handling the move independently, we suggest searching for local agents using IPATA.org . Thanks again and happy travels!

Can You Travel With a Husky? (COMPLETE GUIDE)

Even if you don’t anticipate taking your Husky on many trips, you’ll probably still need to transport it from the breeder to your house, to the vet, and occasionally to a bigger park or beach so it can run around.

This article explains everything a husky owner needs to know to make trips in the vehicle with their dog safe and enjoyable.

Table of Contents

Can You Travel With a Husky?

As long as your husky is properly crated and ready for travel, you are permitted to take them along.

You also need to bear a few things in mind.

In order to help you locate him if he wanders off, make sure he is wearing a chipped collar and tags.

Second, make him as comfortable as you can in the vehicle. Make certain he has a mat and seat cover that are waterproof.

Continue reading if you want more detailed instructions on how to drive a Husky with it.

Here are our top recommendations that have helped many of our readers’ Huskies navigate successful voyages.

Maintain a Crate for Your Husky

Your top goal while traveling with a Husky should be to keep them safe.

By now, everyone is aware of the need of using a seatbelt to keep ourselves safe and protected in the case of an accident.

Dogs are not an exception and must also be restrained in some way when traveling.

A large dog cage is required instead of a seatbelt because it is obvious that a husky cannot fit in one.

The fact that huskies are a big breed is in no way an excuse!

The Husky simply needs to be able to lie down in the box, thus it should easily fit in either the trunk or back seat of most automobiles.

Use bungee wires to firmly anchor the container inside the vehicle for further security and to stop it from moving around.

A couple of towels and a plaything to keep your Husky amused should be placed within the crate’s base to ensure their comfort.

No Food 2 to 3 Hours Before Departure

Try not to feed your husky for at least two to three hours prior to your trip.

They have plenty of time to digest the meal because of this.

Starting the journey with a full stomach will make your husky feel very uncomfortable, and it will be an easy way to have puke all over your chairs!

Particularly husky pups are prone to road sickness, which is only made worse by having food in the stomach.

Additionally, you ought to refrain from feeding your husky any sweets just before you go.

Bringing some snacks is a wonderful idea, but preserve them for the rest stops, and don’t consume them beforehand.

For a Cool Ride, Turn on the Air Conditioning

We advise utilizing the air conditioning in the car to maintain a cool environment during the drive.

Huskies are built for the cold, so they can easily become overheated in a car, especially if they are nervous and panting heavily.

During the trip, you can even use a slightly open window if necessary.

If you want to do this, make sure your Husky can’t approach the window or attempt to escape through it.

Never leave your Husky alone in a car since the temperature inside may quickly climb and be lethal in a matter of minutes.

Bring your Husky with you if you have to leave your car for more than five minutes, or leave another person in the vehicle with them to keep an eye on the temperature and their behavior.

If you need to leave the vehicle for less than five minutes (for instance, to get gas), keep the windows open, keep your Husky in sight at all times, and drive as quickly as you can.

Practice Your Trips Beforehand

Only those who really conduct prior research should use this advice!

Start bringing your husky out in the car for brief times if your vacation is scheduled for the next week, and gradually extend the time each time.

Start by performing this daily or biweekly.

Including the cage or harness, they will be wearing is an even better idea.

As opposed to expecting them to be comfortable with it right away, this will give them time to become acclimated to it.

Any husky or dog that has had prior experience traveling in cars will often be able to handle long travels without any problems.

At All Times, Keep Your Husky’s Head Inside the Vehicle

One thing we see much too frequently is dogs in cars with their heads sticking out the window.

Allowing the dog to do it puts them in danger of being hurt by flying objects, passing branches, or even other vehicles, even if they might like the experience.

Inhaling cold air at such a high velocity also has the risk of making them very unwell.

Additionally, if the window is open far enough for them to have their head protrude through, it indicates that they are not safe in their container and could attempt to escape via the window.

Additionally, we must emphasize that you should never ride in the open pickup truck bed with your Husky.

Sadly, injuries sustained when riding in open pickup trucks result in hundreds of large dog breeds dying every year.

The vast amount of room may seem enticing, but Huskies may very quickly escape or tumble out when moving at fast speeds or across rough terrain.

Window Sun Protection

This is crucial if you’re using your car’s trunk since the sun may be beaming directly through the wide window there.

Your husky will struggle to control the intense heat created as a result of this.

A protective shade for the trunk window is essential for long summer drives. They offer excellent protection at a very low cost.

Make Sure You Can Readily Identify Your Husky

Make sure your Husky can be found readily in the event of an emergency.

You ought to microchip your Husky and keep the data on it current.

Additionally, they must have a collar tag with their home address and your phone number on it.

To be safe, you could also wish to write their home address and their destination location directly on the collar.

Additionally, some tags include a little message that reads, “I’m chipped.”

Anyone who discovers your Husky will be informed to take them to the vet so their chip may be read.

Toilet Time

Sometimes, especially with younger huskies, accidents happen while going potty, but if you can prevent them while traveling, excellent!

If your husky is already taught to use the restroom, that’s excellent since it will make your life much simpler.

Before you embark on your excursion, you should routinely use the bathroom at the designated location in your yard.

Take them starting 45 minutes before you leave.

Even though it might not go as well as you’d want, you should still try to get your husky puppy to go pee before you leave if they aren’t yet trained.

Bring additional cleaning supplies and a bag specifically for dog waste.

Take Frequent Breaks

Huskies are unable to comprehend people, despite our best efforts to convince us otherwise.

We can’t just tell them to wait until you come if they need to use the restroom while we’re driving.

Make sure to schedule enough comfort breaks because it is your duty to see to your Husky’s needs.

Use these pauses to give your Husky a chance to hydrate, use the restroom, and stretch its legs.

Always be sure you stop in a location where your Husky may exit the car safely.

To prevent them from getting into a harmful position, always keep them strapped into their collar and leash.

Final Thoughts

You may start organizing your upcoming trip now that you know how to bring your husky along.

Just keep in mind to unwind, make preparations, and think about bringing your dog along the next time you go.

Bringing your dog along will only make the experience more enjoyable, as long as you are heading someplace pet-friendly.

First-time travel with your Husky doesn’t have to be a difficult ordeal.

Follow these guidelines and watch their behaviors to keep them both safe and happy.

Can I Travel With My Husky On A Plane?

If you’re a proud husky owner, you likely want to bring your furry friend on trips and vacations.

But can you fly with a husky on a plane? The answer is yes – it’s possible to fly with your husky under certain conditions.

In this post, I’ll walk you through everything I learned the first time I flew with my Siberian husky, Four, from booking flights to getting travel crate.

So, let’s get started with the first question on your mind: Can I bring my husky on a plane?

Key Takeaways

• Huskies can fly in the cabin or cargo hold depending on size limits set by airlines.
• Proper identification , health certificates , and approved carriers are required.
• Consider your husky’s anxiety levels and prepare calming aids if needed.
• Use direct flights when possible and request climate control for cargo.
• Never tranquilize your dog or give sedatives without your vet’s consent .
• Practice carrier training and car rides to prep your husky for travel.

Furrtrekker is reader-supported. I may earn a small commission through these links. For more details, please read our privacy policy .

Can I Travel With My Husky on a Plane?

Yes. If your husky meets the size limits (typically under 20lb), they can potentially fly in a small pet carrier under your seat as a carry-on.

When I flew with Four ( still a 9-week-old husky pup at that time ), he was under the size cutoff so he was able to snuggle with me in the cabin.

However, the airline’s pet policy will differ depending on whether your pet is an emotional support animal (ESA) or a trained service dog. 

Let me explain.

The first thing to consider is whether your husky meets the size requirements and weight limit to fly in the passenger cabin.

According to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines, small dogs must be at least 8 weeks old and fully weaned before traveling on commercial airlines, whether international or domestic flights 1 .

If your husky pup is under 20 pounds, he may be able to fly in a small pet carrier under your seat as carry-on luggage. 

And while some exceptions may be made, usually only one dog is permitted per kennel or carrier. 

Expect additional fees since small pets are considered passengers in the cabin as well.

Travel Tips

 I’d recommend a soft-sided portable kennel or dog carrier that still meets size requirements to fit under the seat in front of you.

This allows your pup to stay close by in the safe space of the cabin during the flight.

But confirm ahead since policies vary between airlines.

What if my husky is not fit for the cabin? 

Most full-grown huskies that don’t meet in-cabin size limits will be, unfortunately, transported in the cargo area or baggage compartment. 

I know this gives pet owners serious anxiety after hearing about pets passing away down in the cargo compartment.

However, cargo areas are temperature regulated much like the cabin above. 

Aside from that, airline staff, like the baggage handlers, are also trained on safety procedures for different weather conditions.

Many reported injuries, according to the Aviation Consumer Protection Division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, are actually self-inflicted by anxious pets 2 .

And in some unfortunate cases, pre-existing health conditions have contributed to more severe outcomes.

Organizations like PETA and the Humane Society generally advise against placing pets in the cargo hold due to these risks 3 .

Emotional Support Animals (ESA)

If your husky is officially designated as an emotional support animal (ESA), you may qualify for special accommodations with proper documentation from your doctor. 

How does my husky qualify for ESA?

ESAs must be prescribed by a licensed mental health professional for individuals with diagnosed conditions 4 . 

That said, if you’re hoping for your husky to accompany you in the cabin as an emotional support dog, you’ll need a letter from your doctor or therapist confirming their status.

This letter states your condition and certifies that your husky helps manage your symptoms.

And remember, you’ll also need to present proof of vaccinations and a recent health certificate from your licensed veterinarian. 

So, should I tell the airline my husky is an emotional support animal?

If your husky is legitimately an emotional support animal (ESA) prescribed to you by a licensed mental health professional, then yes, you should inform the airline.

However, due to recent Department of Transportation rule changes, airlines are no longer required to accommodate ESAs.

I would advise checking your airline’s current policy to see if ESAs are still permitted to fly in the cabin without fees.

If not, you may have to pay pet fees or place your husky in cargo.

That said, attempting to fake your husky off as an ESA to avoid fees is unethical and could undermine the true intent behind ESA designations and those individuals with legitimate need.

Service Dog

Properly trained service dogs can fly free in the cabin regardless of dog’s breed or size. 

They receive legal accommodations under the Air Carrier Access Act to accompany disabled passengers during flights, including airport terminals 5 .

As long as they’re trained and on their best behavior, airlines have to welcome service dogs onboard.

Unfortunately, Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) or service animals are not granted the same privileges as service dogs under the Air Carrier Access Act. 

Major carriers do not make exceptions for larger emotional support pets.

Now back to the main question – can you fly with your husky? 

The bottom line: yes, but with a few caveats.

If your husky is classified as an emotional support animal or service dog, they can fly in the cabin if properly documented. 

For small huskies that meet airline size limits for carry-on pets, they may also be allowed in the cabin within an airline-compliant pet carrier .

However, larger dogs generally cannot fly in the cabin and would need to travel as cargo. I know, it’s really not a good idea to be separated! 

But if your big ball of fluff has to fly as cargo, there are some good tips to make it less stressful.

Keep reading!

Tips For Booking Your Flight With Your Husky

When I flew with my Siberian husky, Four, I learned firsthand that it’s super important to properly prepare your furry friend for their flight, no matter how they travel. 

One key tip is to book direct routes whenever possible to minimize total travel time and reduce hassles. 

Booking Direct Routes

Book direct flights whenever possible to minimize total travel time. 

Booking direct routes means reserving flights that go straight to your final destination without any stops or plane changes along the way. 

This is so important when you’re traveling with a pet.

Non-stop flights reduce Four’s time spent confined in his Kennel and also decrease the chances of delays or issues arising during connections.

Consider Your Connection Times

If you do need to book flights with connections, make sure to build in enough time between them to walk your pup or switch planes without feeling rushed. 

I saw several poor dog owners dashing through the airport with large dogs, and it was not a good scene.

Have Flexible Date

You may also want to be a bit flexible with your travel date. 

There’s a huge possibility that your pet may get bumped at the check-in counter due to temperature restrictions enforced by the flight attendant and the crew. 

So having some wiggle room on dates can save you a major headache if this happens.

Research Pet Policies

Research beforehand each airline’s pet policies. Every carrier has different rules, fees, and size limits for pet carriers. 

For instance, United Airlines allows certain sized dogs in cabins while Air Canada requires pets to fly as plane’s cargo.

The good news is most U.S. airlines do permit booking direct routes with pets in certain cases.

I specifically checked on policies for huskies and found:

• American Airlines: Pets are permitted to fly in the cabin on direct routes to most destinations in the United States (excluding Hawaii) and Canada, Mexico, Central America, Alaska , Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and St. Croix. Just to let you know, their flights have a maximum duration of 11 1/2 hours. They do not have any flights that go beyond that length of time.
• Alaska Airlines: Alaska Airlines allows pets in the main cabin on direct routes, though reservations must be made in advance of your trip. There are some restrictions for flights to/from some airports.
• Hawaiian Airlines: Hawaiian Airlines allows pets in the cabin on inter-island flights within Hawaii. For flights between Hawaii and the mainland U.S., pets can travel as checked baggage or cargo.
• Southwest Airlines: Southwest allows small vaccinated domestic cats and dogs to travel in-cabin on direct flights within the U.S. Pets are not allowed in-cabin on international flights.
• Air Canada: Pets are generally not accepted in the cabin or baggage compartment on Air Canada. However, they can travel as air cargo on direct routes. Bookings must be made through Air Canada Cargo.

In summary, majority of airlines do allow booking direct routes with pets in certain circumstances, while Air Canada requires pets to travel as cargo on direct flights. 

Restrictions, pet fees, and advance reservations usually apply.

So in my case, I was able to book a direct flight with my husky on American Airlines to visit my family, as long as I made sure it was under 11 1/2 hours.

Invest In Pet Insurance

Pet insurance is hugely recommended by vets, especially for pets who travel. 

It covers unexpected medical bills if your furry best friend falls ill or gets injured during your long trip.

Generally, pet insurance is endorsed by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) 6 . 

But pet insurance isn’t just about covering emergencies. It actually encourages better preventative care too. 

Most providers want your vet to monitor your pet’s health regularly as part of an ongoing relationship. 

Before Four and I embarked on a long flight, we had a check-up to make sure he was fit for pet travel. 

And when we got back, our vet gave Four another lookover to ensure he was in good health after our adventure.

So, what’s the best way to book a flight with my husky?

Book early, be flexible on dates/times, pick direct nonstop flights when possible, and confirm pet policies with the airline.

Let the airline know you are traveling with a dog immediately to secure a spot.

Traveling During Off-Peak 

As much as possible avoid those crowded holiday flights. 

Booking trips over winter break or Thanksgiving is not the move with a furry co-pilot in tow. 

All the major airlines fill up fast with holiday travelers, and those limited pet spots go quickly too.

Instead, plan trips during off-peak seasons. 

I’m talking nice, easy getaways in September, October, January, or February. 

The flights are cheaper, there’s way more wiggle room for your fur baby, and you get to skip the headache of a packed airport. 

Getting Crate and Accessories Ahead of Time

Getting them comfortable with their travel crate and accessories ahead of time will make the process smoother for both of you. 

Purchase one early and encourage your husky to regularly spend quiet time inside.

This way, it won’t feel unfamiliar or scary when it’s time to travel. 

Generally, most airlines require your dog to fit in a small carrier under the seat in front of you. 

If too large for the cabin, they’ll need to be checked and travel with luggage and cargo.

Put a “Live Animal” sticker on the crate along with your contact information so your pup can be identified if you ever get separated. 

Consider adding ID tags, a phone number, QR code, or taping a plastic baggie with important information inside too.

Though some let bigger dogs fly in the cabin if you purchase them their own seat. 

Of course, if you can swing a private jet, then extra seats are no problem.

Again, regardless of size, bring water dishes, pet food if needed, medications, a frozen water bottle to chew on for anxiety, and favorite toys or blankets for comfort. 

What If My Husky Gets Loose At The Airport?

If your husky escapes their carrier, immediately alert airline staff and security. 

Have a photo ready to help others identify them. Check with lost pet services at the airport.

Can I Give My Husky Food Or Water During The Flight?

Airlines do not allow passengers to remove pets from carriers during the flight.

Food and water bowls must be attached to your husky’s travel carrier with adequate provisions for the trip duration.

What If My Husky Has A Layover – Can I Take Them Out Of The Carrier Then?

You may be allowed to take your husky out of their carrier at your layover location as long as you remain within the secure terminal area.

Be sure to double-check with the airline for policies at that specific airport. 

Always keep your husky leashed, and don’t leave them unattended.

Can I Give My Husky A Mild Sedative Before A Flight?

You should only give your dog any medication, including sedatives, under the guidance of your veterinarian. 

But sedative isn’t the only option to make large dogs comfortable in cargo.

Mild sedatives may help anxious dogs stay calm, but be aware of potential side effects and risks.

What dog-friendly activities can I do with my Husky when we land?

Research any pet-friendly hotel that allows dogs and has green spaces/trails nearby for walks. 

You can also try a road trip that allows dogs, so rent a car for day trips to dog parks or hiking trails.

Do airlines have specific requirements for French Bulldog or Boston terriers?

Yes, airlines that allow brachycephalic dogs require a larger approved carrier and may restrict flying during extreme temperatures. 

International Air Transport Association (IATA) heavily restricted snub-nosed breed to travel in cargo

What is the average cost of travel with my Siberian Husky?

Expect fees of $100-200 (rough estimates) each way for your dog to fly in the cabin. 

Costs vary by airline, destination, and dog’s size.

Are there alternatives to air travel for dogs?

Yes! Travel by car, train, or ship instead. Or consider more pet-friendly options like pet relocation service as your method of travel that transports large dogs by ground. 

Research options matching your dog’s size and needs. 

Can older dogs or dogs with medical conditions fly?

Check with your veterinarian first. Air travel can be difficult for older dogs so discuss risks vs. benefits. 

Make proper arrangements for medication, food, and many others.

What should I do if my flight gets delayed or canceled when my Husky is booked on Delta cargo?

Immediately contact Delta cargo services if your flight is disrupted to make arrangements for your dog’s care, rebooking, refunds, and many others. 

Have your air waybill number and sensitive information on hand.

From Hattie B's to Tootsie's, here are the 10 best places to eat in the Nashville airport

F or most of us, eating at the airport has been an afterthought, a way to kill time before takeoff. And Lord knows we don't wanna be hungry on a long flight.

In the last few years, though, Nashville International Airport has built a dynamic dining vibe, re-creating Nashville's restaurant scene in miniature by packing terminals with outposts of well-known honky-tonks, barbecue joints, hot chicken shacks and more.

Yep, now you can get Hattie B's hot chicken, Slim & Husky's pizza or Tootsie's live music, beers and burgers at BNA. Believe it or not, there are now 38 locally-owned food spots at the airport. (That's a way higher number than we found at similar-sized airports, which typically are filled with national chain restaurant outposts.)

Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.

The Nashville airport dining scene has even more relevance now that the airport is issuing get-past-security day passes for those who aren't flying.

The BNA Passports have proven popular — the airport has hit its 75-pass daily limit each day since the program launched July 1. (We both went through the process with ease. Our only hesitation is that you don't find out if you've been approved until early in the morning on the day for which you've applied.)

Most folks so far have been using the BNA Passports to get through security to greet incoming elderly friends or relatives at the gate. You also, of course, can use those day passes to watch planes or to catch up with friends with longer layovers in Nashville.

So, with all those food choices, where should you eat? Warning: the food served at the airport can be different, a lot different, than what you'll find at the original restaurants in the wild. We ate some soggy, room-temp chicken fingers at one spot and — gross — a nuclear-hot, chewy microwaved bagel sandwich at another.

But that's what we're here for, folks! We visited all the local airport spots so you can avoid the misses. Here is our completely subjective list of the top 10 locally-owned airport eateries.

10. Tootsie's Orchid Lounge

Concourse C

Vibe wins the day. Nashville's most iconic honky-tonk did a great job recreating Lower Broadway in the airport. You can see old pics of Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Hank Williams inside those lavendar brick walls, and the live music is at the perfect volume. Tables are nicely distanced. The food might've been hit or miss, the singers, service and suds more than make up for that.

9. Tailgate Brewery

Sure, there's terrific Tennessee-brewed beers here. And folks who visit Tailgate Brewery's other locations already know that the pizza is surprisingly good. At the airport, you can expect the same. The long, curved bar is a popular hangout in a high-traffic area in the concourse.

8. Acme Feed and Seed

Central Marketplace

The incredibly juicy, tasty Acme burger should pull you right out of the security line and into the bright open air marketplace even before you start to head toward your gate. Only The Pharmacy Burger Parlor could rival the cheeseburger we had. Service was, well, delightful! The menu is more creative than we expected and it includes a "Redneck Lo Mein," a dish that drew a split vote at our table.

7. 8th and Roast

Not much seating here, and it's on a particularly busy part of the Concourse C thoroughfare. But duck into the cozy bakery for some gingerbread loaf and other freshly baked goods and some of the best coffee in the airport.

6. Hattie B's Hot Chicken

Big hearty chunks of tender chicken with a crispy, crunchy bite and just the right amount on the back end: This is what Nashville hot chicken tenders should be. Service was fast and the restaurant was sleek and clean. You can tell us to shut the cluck up, but this is the best hot chicken at the airport.

5. Smashville

You know how you always walk right past this Nashville Predators-themed spot at the top of Concourse C? You shouldn't. Forget food and drink for a second — the seats at the bar are, well, downright pillowy. Like actually comfortable. And it's quiet in here, believe it or not. In the airport, even the bathrooms are noisy.

Among the $12-$17 choices, go for birria tacos, which we loved, even after eating at 14 other restaurants beforehand.

4. Three Casks

It’s tucked all the way in the back of Concourse C, but Three Casks is worth the walk.

What a vibe: Whiskey barrel heads on the wall, friendly, engaged servers and bartenders. It's as if you've disappeared from the airport and rematerialized on the Whiskey Trail.

They’ve got a wide list of whiskey and beers (you can even meet a distiller if your flight time cooperates), but the barbecue is also impressive. Try the sliced turkey with apple pie barbecue sauce (you read that right). The roast corn with queso is a fine second fiddle.

3. Slim & Husky's

Great food with a beat, Slim & Husky's pizza is almost as awesome here as it is at the original North Nashville location. It's fun to watch passengers bop their heads to the hip-hop and R&B songs as they walk by. One small hesitation: it's hot in the actual restaurant space. You might want to get your pizza and eat it elsewhere. PS: The Smokin' Herb white sauce pizza is our fave.

2. Puckett's Restaurant

Concourse D

First of all, we love the big open seating, high-ceiling vibes and the live music. And they do traditional Southern food as well as anyone in town. The brisket, super tender, was a little salty, as were the greens. But the mac and cheese and sweet potato fries were solid. And the superstar of the show, bar none, is the peach cobbler. In fact, if you're getting one thing, get that.

1. The Pharmacy Burger Parlor

Concourse A/B Rotunda

Oh wow, this comes really close to the original restaurant in East Nashville — super juicy, delicious burgers and nearly perfect tots, salty, brown and crunchy on the outside and tender inside. The servers all were incredibly friendly, and the food is cooked fresh, unlike some other airport outlets. Still, we got our burgers in under 10 minutes.

What's your favorite place to eat at BNA? Let us know, please. Reach Brad Schmitt at [email protected] or Keith at [email protected].

U.S. travel advisory level to Bangladesh raised after police impose "shoot-on-sight" curfew amid protests

July 20, 2024 / 10:45 AM EDT / CBS/AP

The U.S. State Department has raised the travel advisory level for Bangladesh amid civil unrest in the South Asia country . Police have imposed a strict curfew with a "shoot-on-sight" order, and military forces are patrolling parts of the capital after scores were killed and hundreds injured in clashes over the allocation of civil service jobs. 

The travel advisory urges Americans to reconsider travel to the South Asian country. 

"Ongoing demonstrations and violent clashes have been reported throughout the city of Dhaka, its neighboring areas, and throughout Bangladesh," the department said in a news release. "Telecommunications have been interrupted in Dhaka and across the country. Due to the security situation, there may be a delay in provision of routine consular services." 

Any Americans who do travel to Bangladesh should avoid demonstrations and political gatherings, monitor local media for news updates, and stay in touch with the State Department, the news release said.

The U.S. Embassy in Dhaka said Friday that reports indicated "hundreds to possibly thousands" were injured across Bangladesh. It said the situation was "extremely volatile."  

The "shoot-on-sight" curfew began at midnight and briefly relaxed from noon to 2 p.m. local time to allow people to run essential errands. The curfew is expected to last until 10 a.m. Sunday, allowing officers to fire on mobs in extreme cases, said lawmaker Obaidul Quader, the general secretary of the ruling Awami League party.

The demonstrations — called for mainly by student groups— started weeks ago to protest a quota system that reserves up to 30% of government jobs for relatives of veterans who fought in Bangladesh's war of independence in 1971. Violence erupted Tuesday, with the Daily Prothom Alo newspaper reporting the death of at least 103 people.

Friday was likely to be the deadliest day so far; Somoy TV reported 43 killed, while an Associated Press reporter saw 23 bodies at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital, but it was not immediately clear whether they all died on Friday. On Thursday, 22 others were reported dead as protesting students attempted to "completely shut down" the country.

Bangladeshi authorities haven't shared any official numbers of those killed and injured.

Protests lead to chaos, violence

Officials said the curfew was to quell further violence after police and protesters clashed in the streets and at university campuses in Dhaka and other cities across the South Asian country. Authorities blocked online communications by banning mobile and internet services. Several television news channels also went off the air, and the websites of most local newspapers were down. Meanwhile, some key government websites, including Bangladesh's central bank and the prime minister's office, appeared to have been hacked and defaced.

Local media also reported that some 800 inmates fled from a prison in Narsingdi, a district north of the capital, after protesters stormed the facility and set it on fire Friday.

The chaos highlights cracks in Bangladesh's governance and economy and the frustration of youths who lack good jobs upon graduation. They also represent the biggest challenge to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina since she won a fourth consecutive term in office after January's elections, boycotted by the main opposition groups.

Protesters argue the quota system is discriminatory and benefits supporters of Hasina, whose Awami League party led the independence movement, saying it should be replaced with a merit-based system. Hasina has defended the quota system, saying that veterans deserve the highest respect for their contributions in the war against Pakistan, regardless of their political affiliation.

Representatives from both sides met late Friday in an attempt to reach a resolution. At least three student leaders were present and demanded the reform of the current quota system, the reopening of student dormitories shut by the police following the clashes and for some university officials to step down after failing to protect campuses from the violence. Law Minister Anisul Huq said late Friday the government was open to discussing their demands.

The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party has backed the protests, vowing Friday to organize its own demonstrations as many of its supporters joined the students' protests. However, BNP said in a statement its followers were not responsible for the violence and denied the ruling party's accusations of using the protests for political gains.

The Awami League and the BNP have often accused each other of fueling political chaos and violence, most recently ahead of the country's national election, which was marred by a crackdown on several opposition figures. Hasina's government had accused the opposition party of attempting to disrupt the vote.

In 2018, the government halted the job quotas following mass student protests. But in June, Bangladesh's High Court nullified that decision and reinstated the quotas after relatives of 1971 veterans filed petitions. The Supreme Court suspended the ruling, pending an appeal hearing, and said in a statement it will take the issue up Sunday.

Hasina has called on protesters to wait for the court's verdict.

Meghan looked effortlessly elegant in a sleek white gown from Staud with a draped halterneck, a backless silhouette, and a floor-sweeping hemline. She kept her accessories to a minimum, simply adding diamond stud earrings, her signature gold Cartier bracelet, and a few gold diamond-encrusted rings. Finally, she finished off the look with strappy black heels. Beauty-wise, she opted for a natural glam and swept her black hair up into a slicked back bun.

As for Harry, the Duke of Sussex looked suave in a classic black suit from Giorgio Armani worn with a white collared shirt and a black tie.

Williams looked just as glamorous in her own halterneck gown—a custom Ferragamo creation—though she took a more sparkly route. Her dress was nearly entirely covered in reflective maroon scales. The piece's skirt additionally featured wine-colored fringe enmeshed with the scales.

The tennis champ and the Duchess of Sussex have long held a close friendship with each other over the years. Back in 2022, Williams sat down with Meghan for the debut episode of her podcast, Archetypes .

“She couldn’t be a better friend to me. Low moments, high moments, she’s always there, and that’s all I want to be to her,” the athlete previously said of the duchess in a 2019 press conference.

As an associate editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com, Chelsey keeps a finger on the pulse on all things celeb news.

Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
