DLD 412: Dollar dollar bills, y’all

The image shows the interior of an airport terminal. The ceiling features a series of large, curved beams with a skylight running down the center, allowing natural light to illuminate the space. Below, there are seating areas with people waiting, some looking at their phones or talking. In the background, there are signs indicating gates and other airport facilities. The overall atmosphere is typical of an airport waiting area, with a modern and spacious design.

Singapore Airlines is out spending cash like it is 2019 again, so that seems to be good news for other airlines.

DLD 409: Sorry we missed you

Alt text: A nighttime view of an airport with modern, illuminated streetlights lining the road. In the background, there is a control tower and a distinctive, futuristic building with an arched design. Several vehicles, including a bus, are visible on the road.

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

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 385: Worst birthday party ever

A blue and white propeller airplane with the word "Connect" written on its side is parked on an airport tarmac. The tail of the plane features a yellow circle with a blue design. In the background, there are large, arched hangars and a fuel truck. Two airport personnel in high-visibility vests are standing near the front of the plane. The sky is clear with some light clouds. The image is credited to @WandrMe and PaxEx.Aero.

Sure, the conversations were great, but our plans for birthday festivities came up short.

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 353: Close connections

The image shows an aerial view of the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. In the foreground, there are trees and buildings. Three helicopters are flying in formation, and a commercial airplane is also visible in the sky. The sky is partly cloudy. The image has text in the bottom right corner that reads "PaxEx.Aero || @WandrMe."

An irrational amount of discussion about connecting flights takes over this episode. But, in our defense, one of you asked about it.
