DLD 513: We Try Harder(ish)

Is it finally time for some passenger rights in the USA? And why does air travel feel more unbundled than ever, in every class of travel?

DLD 477: Playing the fool

We’re skipping April Fool’s Day in favor of some real news, including at least one story we were convinced should’ve been a joke.

DLD 450: Wait, there’s now lounge elite status??

Delta made waves with its SkyMiles/SkyClub rules changes last week. Plus, new seats, new routes, and an end to revenge.

DLD 407: No first? No problem!

Aerial view of an airport with multiple airplanes parked at the gates and taxiing on the runway. The image shows a control tower in the center and various airport buildings and infrastructure. The wing of an airplane is visible in the foreground, indicating that the photo was taken from inside an aircraft. The surrounding landscape includes fields and distant buildings under a partly cloudy sky.

What happens when you dupe consumers for decades with the confusing names between classes of service then make a change to a tiny part of the fleet? Fun times, indeed.

DLD 390: Back from Europe

Aerial view of a large cityscape with a prominent skyline in the background, featuring numerous tall buildings and skyscrapers. In the foreground, there are several bodies of water, including rivers and wetlands, intersected by bridges and roads. The landscape includes a mix of industrial areas, green spaces, and urban development. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds.

Summer travel is definitely here. Good luck with that.

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 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.
