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.

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.

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

Is this a good episode title? Probably not. Is it a good episode, though??
Where have all the cool planes gone? If you frequently find yourself wondering about that JetTip.net might help with some answers, at least in the US and Canada.

We’re back in the sky! Also, new doors, routes, snacks, and planes headed to storage.
Travel in India is hard. And when it goes sideways it can go really sideways. A mix of delays and cancellations this week brought that into stark relief and we’re talking about it on the show.
