BEST USE OF COCONUTS

BEST TOILETS
12. Seamen's Club Resort Hotel Commodes
This hotel on Ishigaki Island is one of the best spots for diving with manta rays. But if this is your first time in Japan, it's the hotel's toilets you'll remember.

You can warm the seat, adjust the water temperature, and change the spray pattern, as well as specify male or female anatomy. Our advice: Sit down before you mash the buttons.

BEST NEW AIRLINE
16. Virgin America

BEST AIRPORT WINE
18. Vino Volo
Offering wines by the glass or the flight (three to four tasting-size pours) and snacks like olives and cheese plates, these chic wine bars will make you forget you have a three-hour layover. Only five airports—Washington's Dulles, Seattle, Sacramento, Baltimore, and JFK—currently house Vino Volo, but founder Doug Tomlinson plans to unroll several more over the next few years. Tip: If your flight's on time, pick up a bottle from the retail side—you're beyond security. vinovolo.com
