Maybe we’re supposed to say something in advance when the publishing schedule changes. Oopsie.

DLD 397: Scavenger Hunt

A white and blue seaplane with the registration number N819BB is parked on a paved surface in front of a brick building with large windows. The seaplane has floats for landing on water and is branded with the name "Tailwind" on its tail. The sky is partly cloudy, and there is a grassy area next to the building. A person is standing near the plane.

Scavenging for spare parts, profitable routes, or just good travel ideas? We’ve got it all in this week’s show.

DLD 395: Ripe for disruption

The image shows a close-up of a cluster of blueberries on a bush. The berries are in various stages of ripeness, with some being fully ripe and blue, while others are still pink or white. The green leaves of the bush surround the berries, and the background is a blurred outdoor setting with grass.

More leisure travelers than expected, plus some gardening tips. Oh, and lots of airline news, too.
