DLD 357: Easy Breezy

The image shows a large blue airplane parked on the tarmac outside an airport terminal. In the foreground, there is a model of a blue airplane with the word "Breeze" written on its side, placed on a stand near some white chairs. The model airplane is positioned in front of large windows that provide a clear view of the actual airplane outside. The sky is clear and blue, and the airport runway and surrounding area are visible in the background.

The brand new Breeze A220 is top of mind this week, as we have a crew chatting just hours after the unveiling. Plus AAdvantage and Bonvoy news that might matter to you.

DLD 355: Weather Gone Wild

A serene lake with a reflective surface, surrounded by a forest of trees displaying autumn colors. The trees exhibit a mix of green, yellow, orange, and red foliage. The sky above is overcast with a layer of clouds, and the water is dotted with lily pads and other aquatic plants. The reflection of the colorful trees in the calm water creates a mirror-like effect.

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.

DLD 350: Wider than the average show

Alt text: A view through an archway of a historic courtyard with classical architecture. The buildings on either side have a mix of red brick and stone facades with arched windows and columns. A large hanging lantern is centered in the archway, and the sky above is overcast. Benches line the walls of the courtyard, and there is a sign in the middle of the courtyard.

How does just one out of service plane cause so much trouble for a major airline?? But it worked mostly in our favor, so no complaints this time around.

DLD 348: Lost and Found

We lost last week’s episode, but came back strong this time around with planes big and small crossing oceans and some fun new routes and money for US startups.

DLD 328: The thrill of the hunt

The image shows a TAP Air Portugal Airbus A330neo aircraft parked on the tarmac near an airport terminal. The aircraft is white with the TAP Air Portugal logo prominently displayed on the fuselage in green and red. In front of the aircraft, there is a large sign that reads "1st A330neo" in green and red letters. The image is credited to AIRBUS 2018, with the photo taken by A. Doumenjou / master films.

A mistake fare brought back some excitement we haven’t felt in a long time, even if it eventually cancelled. Plus Iceland to Antarctica and much more!

DLD 327: Travel Traditions

The image shows the wing and engine of an airplane in flight, viewed from a passenger window. The sky is mostly clear with some scattered clouds, and the airplane wing extends into the distance. The engine is visible in the lower part of the image. The sky has a gradient of blue shades, indicating a high altitude. The image has a watermark in the bottom right corner with the text "PaxEx.Aero | @WandrMe".

Sometimes travel is about new and different adventures. Sometimes it is about repeating the most boring or ridiculous habits. And, when done right, it is often a great blend of both. We close out this week’s episode with some discussion of travel souvenirs that we’re constantly collecting, or at least that we did back when we traveled more.

DLD 311: Farewell to the 580s

A twin-engine propeller airplane from Air Chathams is flying over a coastal landscape. The aircraft is white with green accents and has the airline's logo on the tail. Below, there is a view of the coastline with sandy beaches, green fields, and a body of water. The sky is partly cloudy.

No, that’s not a typo. We’re mourning the loss of the Convair 580s from commercial service, now slated for next year, among many other things in this week’s episode.
