This tropical island in the Indian Ocean is popular for its beautiful beaches and clear turquoise sea. The old town is great for some culture and history. It’s relatively underdeveloped and untouched by tourism, so a great place for the crew to rest and spend time on the beach.
9/10 Buenos Aires
A LATAM The airline’s flight attendant names Buenos Aires, Argentina, as her favorite city. For some of the best food in town, head to the Puerto Madero neighborhood.
