DLD 413: Living the Dream(liner)

A United Airlines airplane is flying over a large body of water with an island visible below. The sky is partly cloudy, and the aircraft is shown in profile with the airline's logo and name clearly visible on the fuselage and tail.

Just a couple hundred (more) new planes coming to United through the end of the decade. Nothing to get excited about here.

DLD 412: Dollar dollar bills, y’all

The image shows the interior of an airport terminal. The ceiling features a series of large, curved beams with a skylight running down the center, allowing natural light to illuminate the space. Below, there are seating areas with people waiting, some looking at their phones or talking. In the background, there are signs indicating gates and other airport facilities. The overall atmosphere is typical of an airport waiting area, with a modern and spacious design.

Singapore Airlines is out spending cash like it is 2019 again, so that seems to be good news for other airlines.

DLD 406: Mega investments

Aerial view from an airplane window showing a landscape with a mix of forested areas, open fields, and a body of water. The airplane's engine is visible on the right side of the image. The landscape below includes patches of green and brown, indicating a mix of vegetation and possibly autumn foliage. There are also some scattered buildings and roads visible.

New cabins, new partners, and new fuels are just a few of the major investments airlines announced that we’re talking about in this week’s episode.

DLD 355: Weather Gone Wild

A serene lake with a reflective surface, surrounded by a forest of trees displaying autumn colors. The trees exhibit a mix of green, yellow, orange, and red foliage. The sky above is overcast with a layer of clouds, and the water is dotted with lily pads and other aquatic plants. The reflection of the colorful trees in the calm water creates a mirror-like effect.

We faced a couple mechanicals getting this week’s episode recorded, but are willing to admit that truth, rather than blaming weather, unlike some airlines.

DLD 272: Customer service is hard

A large group of people is gathered around a counter at an airport. Some individuals are holding documents and mobile phones, while others appear to be engaged in conversation or waiting. The setting is busy, with more people and seating visible in the background. The atmosphere suggests a situation where passengers might be seeking information or assistance.

Travel in India is hard. And when it goes sideways it can go really sideways. A mix of delays and cancellations this week brought that into stark relief and we’re talking about it on the show.
