Two airlines disappearing in a month is bad news, but that seems to be what’s happening right now. Plus some loyalty changes in Canada and Australia and a silent ride over Oregon in a balloon.

When APEX, AIX and IFSA get together there should be enough going on to generate some interesting news. Or, perhaps not. The annual Fall trade show bonanza was slow this year, but we still managed to find a few things to talk about.

![The image shows a large sign on the ground near an airport runway that reads "WELCOME TO [heart symbol] NEW YORK." The heart symbol is red, and the rest of the text is in white letters on a black background. In the background, there is a body of water and a city skyline with various buildings. The foreground includes a grassy area and part of the runway.](https://moredotsmorelines.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/welcome-to-new-york-lga-laguardia.jpg)
No, really, some love for the old LaGuardia leads off this week’s show. Plus some new plane types, strike compensation and a mistake connecting in Cairo.
DLD 257: A strike debacle

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.
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.

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!

United teams up with Clear, Southwest leaves Newark and CapOne has a data breach. Plus, a new(ish) airline flying a pretty old little Fokker.
