DLD 432: You want fries with that

The image shows a Frontier Airlines airplane parked at an airport gate. The aircraft has the word "FRONTIER" written in large green letters on its fuselage. The tail of the plane features a large image of a squirrel, and the name "Sammy the Squirrel" is written near the front of the plane. There is another Frontier Airlines plane in the background with a different animal image on its tail. Various ground service vehicles and equipment are positioned around the planes. The sky is overcast, and the airport terminal building is visible in the background.

Can fries be reasonably served as a side on board? And, quite frankly, why not tater tots instead??

DLD 402: Three planes you’ll probably never fly. Or maybe four.

The image shows the view from an airplane window. The airplane's wing is visible, extending outwards with a clear sky in the background. The sky has a gradient of colors, transitioning from light blue at the top to a soft pinkish hue near the horizon, indicating either sunrise or sunset. Below the wing, there are some clouds. The window frame of the airplane is also visible, framing the view.

Can Russia produce more than 300 commercial aircraft by the end of the decade to backfill the Boeing and Airbus frames that will be inoperable by then? And would you fly on one if they do??

DLD 399: Direct to you

The image shows a spacious, modern airport terminal with a high ceiling and large windows allowing natural light to flood the area. The floor is shiny and reflective, and the ceiling is lined with evenly spaced lights. There are a few people in the distance, and rows of seating are visible further down the terminal. The overall atmosphere is clean and quiet.

Another airline disappears, but we’re still here. You can decide if that’s a good trade or not.
