DLD 211: Speedy Delivery

Alt text: Aerial view from an airplane window showing the wing and a vast landscape below. The terrain is arid and rugged, with winding rivers and canyons cutting through the reddish-brown earth. The sky above is clear and blue.

In a growing industry where will all the planes go? SFO, MEX, AMS and many more are full while expansion options are limited. New catering, routes, boarding rules and a presidential 747 won’t change that, but we talk about them anyways.

DLD 206: London Calling, with some IROPs chaos along the way

The image shows a British Airways Concorde aircraft parked on the tarmac at an airport. The aircraft is white with a red, white, and blue tail fin. There are various ground support vehicles and equipment around the plane, and a fence surrounds the area. The sky is overcast, and the surrounding area includes some buildings and grassy patches.

Daytime flights from the east coast of North America to London can be a great way to help recover from jetlag. But starting on the west coast can make them a mess. Fozz and Stephan both did that last week and agree that it isn’t a great idea. Plus, a stolen Q400, terminal dumps in Germany, and finally a use for the new Berlin airport!

DLD 192: It’s Delta sir, She’s gone Plum!

A serene sunset over the ocean with the sun partially obscured by dark clouds. The sky is painted in warm hues of orange and yellow, with rays of sunlight streaming through the gaps in the clouds, creating a dramatic and peaceful scene. The ocean below is calm and dark, reflecting the colors of the sky.

Fozz almost got stuck in Berlin this weekend, but quick thinking saved the day. Also, errors bring lawsuits, The ME3 are all sorts of crazy and purple is coming to Delta’s uniforms.

DLD 190: Get your engine running, head out on the skyway

The image shows a close-up view of a jet engine undergoing maintenance. The engine's outer casing is partially removed, revealing the intricate internal components, including the fan blades and the central rotor. There are maintenance platforms and scaffolding around the engine, indicating that it is being worked on. The image captures the detailed engineering and complexity of the jet engine.

Aircraft engines are causing more than their share of issues these days. Failures on the ground and in the air are raising lots of questions. We’re mostly about asking them, not answering them in this episode. Plus cabin retrofits, new planes, routes and more.

DLD 187: In it for the (Ultra) Long Haul

Alt text: View from an airplane window showing the aircraft's wing and engine. The sky is painted with hues of orange, pink, and blue, indicating either sunrise or sunset. Below, a blanket of clouds stretches out to the horizon. The image is serene and captures the beauty of flying above the clouds.

Don’t worry: This episode isn’t nearly as long as the flights we’re talking about. But with Perth-London service launched recently we’re all about the very, very long flights. Plus, special guest Cynthia Drescher is back to join in the conversation.

DLD 179: When we couldn’t figure out where to go

Alt text: A foggy landscape featuring a vineyard in the foreground with wooden posts and bare vines. In the background, atop a hill, there is a large, white castle partially obscured by mist. The scene has a moody, overcast atmosphere.

Every now and then you’ll find us together somewhere around the world. This trip ended up in Sofia, Vaduz, Stuttgart and Munich because we suffered from indecision paralysis. Some fun stories along the way, though.
