Change fees, jet packs, massive corruption and a fun new private plane. C’mon in and learn a bit in this week’s show!
We’re talking through bits of the new Aeroplan program in this weeks show, plus new travel warnings and a strange possible investment play by Qatar Airways on behalf of Delta Air Lines.
Cover your face and fly with free insurance and maybe even score an upgrade or just get a bunch of seats for yourself. But we spread all that out into a reasonable conversation, not just a tease.
An island hopper that only takes 8 hours and does not risk military base diversions has us pretty excited. Just need it to actually operate now.
What will the future of airline route networks look like? We dig deep into the past with special guest Ned Russell as we look to the future.

Is it as aggressive a crossover as Avengers: Infinity War? Maybe not. But this week’s show has DLD and MilesToGo producing a joint episode to relive the inaugural festivities at Paine Field and it sure was fun.
The US government shutdown finally took its toll on a pair of inaugurals, and a few others are giving up, too.
