A special Dreamliner is on the move. And we’re not really sitting still, either.

It is all fun and games until a rules change hits home. Then the rage rises to the surface.

Sure, we’re not really traveling long-haul for leisure right now. But some people are. We had long time friend of the show Han on to talk about a couple recent trips.

BER is open and a whale caught a runaway train. Both of those things really happened.
A new neo takes flight and old routes reopen. Plus a fancy first class cabin and WOW might make a comeback after all.

Can Rolls pull off an A380 surprise? And can codeshare flights be a little less crappy for consumers? Plus slots, Haneda changes and Hawaii!

Gatwick drones attacked, and we never really learned their demands. An airline sale, a diversion and more better awards, too!

Boeing’s new paper plane sounds cool but will it every fly? We do know that ANA will have a turtle flying by the end of the decade. And Pittsburgh, because why not!?!

ANA’s 787s are up for a massive engine replacement project, making the aircraft type the “dot” in this week’s episode. And lots of other airlines might be affected by similar issues. New 787 routes and significant shifts coming to American’s TATL route map in the coming months.
A farewell flight on Thai Airways punctuated the difference between it and Lufthansa for this episode’s special guest, Josh Zepps. Plus, a new terminal in Orlando and some of the crazy that comes from visiting India.
