DLD 280: Alliance dalliances

Alt text: Aerial view of an airport with multiple runways and taxiways. Several airplanes are parked near terminal buildings and hangars. Adjacent to the airport, there is a large area with a winding track, possibly a test track or a racing circuit. Surrounding the airport are urban areas with residential and commercial buildings. The image is taken from an airplane window, with part of the window frame visible.

A new alliance affiliation, a new secondary cities airline in the USA and unblocking EuroBiz middles: What does it all mean?!?

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.

DLD 264: Maybe it isn’t entirely awful??

Alt text: A first-class airplane seat setup with a pair of noise-canceling headphones, a small white dish of mixed nuts, a glass of champagne on a napkin, and a white and purple amenity kit. The items are placed on a wooden tray table next to a window. The airplane window shows a view of the airport tarmac outside.

A bad week for many United Airlines frequent flyer members and probably an even worse week for Boeing lead this weeks show. Plus SIM cards and South America and swanky Starlux.
