Alt text: Aerial view from an airplane window during twilight. The airplane's wing and engine are visible in the foreground. Below, city lights and a highway with moving traffic are illuminated against the dark landscape. The horizon shows a gradient of colors from deep blue to orange as the sun sets.

Strikes happen. In aviation the impact can be dramatic, but usually it gets figured out well enough. British Airways managed to throw that playbook out the window this week, however.

A subway train is arriving at an underground station. The station has a curved ceiling and walls with a distinctive pattern of square, reflective tiles. There is a yellow and white light fixture running along the ceiling. The station name, partially visible, appears to be "NÁMĚSTÍ REPUBLIKY." The platform is empty, and the train is approaching the platform on the right side of the image.

Yes, “bleisure” is an annoying word. But it just might be a better way to travel. With a couple different trips to Prague recently the team is ready to debate its value.

Congee" and "Become a LOBSTER CHEF in 12 Minutes!" There is also a sign that says "U-COOK LOBSTER." The truck has a window with an "OPEN" sign displayed.

A Qatar Airways airplane is being towed on the tarmac at an airport. The aircraft is white with the Qatar Airways logo and text in both English and Arabic. In the background, another airplane, belonging to Air France, is taxiing on the runway. The sky is partly cloudy, and there are some buildings and greenery visible in the distance.

Sure, we can just close that airport for a few months. No big deal. And maybe close down tourism in a city, too. And close a hub while we’re at it. Lots of fun stuff in this week’s show!

  • Tagged as: 737 MAX, 737MAX, Air Canada, LOT, MIA, Miami, Phoenix, PHX, Qantas
A small, sleek, silver airplane is parked on an airstrip with its doors open. In the background, there is another aircraft with a blue and white color scheme. Two people are standing near the second aircraft. The scene is set against a backdrop of green, hilly terrain under a partly cloudy sky. A silver car is also visible on the right side of the image.

Bus gates for a new terminal? Ugh. Plus lots of new routes, a blacklisted passenger and $700,000 that should not have been paid.
