(CNN) — Life is a journey, not a destination, as the saying goes -- and this summer that's truer than ever, as flight delays and cancellations continue.

But focusing on what awaits at journey's end may be the key to pushing your way through the mayhem.

CNN Travel is here with destination inspiration and the latest aviation innovation as well as what you need to know about getting where you want to go this summer.

Dream big
