On the inside, Range Rover’s new, brand-bolstering Evoque is surprisingly spacious in the seating department and capable in performance, despite its four-cylinder engine and modest footprint (16 inches shorter and more than 1,600 pounds lighter than a Range Rover Sport).

Prague
Expect to be awestruck when you enter the open expanse of Prague’s Old Town Square. You’ll face an array of facades, pediments and spires ranging from Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance to baroque and art nouveau.

What to expect from your pilot and crew
They are greeters, baggage ­handlers, cabin attendants, brand ambassadors and–oh, yes–they’re responsible for piloting your charter flight. Charter providers, eager to distinguish themselves in a competitive market, are touting the customer service their flight crews provide. That makes sense.
