With a blizzard bearing down we’re reliving prior diversions and other cold weather travel tales, all the way to Antarctica.
Lots of news in the Transatlantic market this week, with high hopes for Summer 2022. Lawsuits, and new elite status and maskholes, too.
A new variant of concern doesn’t have us too concerned. At least not yet. Plus greenwashing, hub bluffs, and pilot retirements.
This week’s episode is a little different. It’s just Fozz and Stephan, as Seth is soaking in all the avgeekery he can at the Dubai Airshow and there hasn’t been a ton of news. But, some of the highlights are:
Europeans (and many others) can once again visit the USA, assuming they’re fully vaccinated. And more than a few airlines are very happy about this.
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.
We’re on location this week, recording at the IATA Annual General Meeting in Boston where industry CEOs and suppliers gathered to absolutely not collude on anything they cannot legally address.
An irrational amount of discussion about connecting flights takes over this episode. But, in our defense, one of you asked about it.
Airline meltdowns happen form time to time, but this past week’s performances are surprisingly ugly.
They might all be terrible ideas, but we’re still going to talk about them and figure out if any of it makes sense.
