Thought on airline pyjamas? Yeah, we’ve got some of those. And lots of other ideas, too…
Sometimes the best plan when a trip gets complicated is to just walk away. Or at least strongly consider the possibility in the face of ever changing travel restrictions.
A new variant of concern doesn’t have us too concerned. At least not yet. Plus greenwashing, hub bluffs, and pilot retirements.
DLD 361: Thanks time

What are you thankful as the Thanksgiving holiday arrives once again? Probably not being involved in any of our first few topics is a good start.
This week’s episode is a little different. It’s just Fozz and Stephan, as Seth is soaking in all the avgeekery he can at the Dubai Airshow and there hasn’t been a ton of news. But, some of the highlights are:
Europeans (and many others) can once again visit the USA, assuming they’re fully vaccinated. And more than a few airlines are very happy about this.
American’s turn for a meltdown, plus slower recoveries, a big Heathrow boost, and planes shifting national registries for some reason.
The brand new Breeze A220 is top of mind this week, as we have a crew chatting just hours after the unveiling. Plus AAdvantage and Bonvoy news that might matter to you.
