In travel news this week: Vacation love stories that began and ended in Paris or London, aviation misadventures in Thailand and China, plus a look at why prices are rising as tourist numbers increase.
See more, pay more More and more tourist hot spots are introducing visitor caps and entry fees to prevent overcrowding - and, whaddya know, it gives their coffers a little boost, too. There’s a new $13 charge for climbing Japan’s famous Mount Fuji, which follows Japan’s 70% price hike for tourist rail passes.

There have been similar incidents of coin throwing, apparently for “good luck,” in China in recent years. Finally, there was a scary incident on board a United Airlines flight when a plane engine caught fire midair. Terrified passengers watched from the windows as flames broke out, forcing the plane to turn back around and land in Houston.
