DLD 469: First, make a roux

a bridge over a river

Why? because it leads to deliciousness later. But that has nothing to do with this week’s conversation. Fortunately, we’re joined by Ed in an effort to keep things on track.

DLD 435: An eye on the future

New planes, new routes, and new seats all bode well for the future. And some lines being dropped might not be so bad, either.

DLD 432: You want fries with that

The image shows a Frontier Airlines airplane parked at an airport gate. The aircraft has the word "FRONTIER" written in large green letters on its fuselage. The tail of the plane features a large image of a squirrel, and the name "Sammy the Squirrel" is written near the front of the plane. There is another Frontier Airlines plane in the background with a different animal image on its tail. Various ground service vehicles and equipment are positioned around the planes. The sky is overcast, and the airport terminal building is visible in the background.

Can fries be reasonably served as a side on board? And, quite frankly, why not tater tots instead??

DLD 427: Scrounging around

Alt text: "Interior view of a large, modern building with a high, arched ceiling supported by yellow metal beams. The ceiling features circular skylights, and the right side of the image shows a tall wall of windows allowing natural light to enter. The left side of the image includes a glass railing and a sign indicating an accessible area."

Fares are up, and revenues are strong in many markets. But that doesn’t mean everyone is doing great, financially or otherwise.

DLD 403: White tails, new deals, and new lines

The image shows the view from an airplane window, capturing the aircraft's wing. Below, there is an airport runway with several parked planes, some marked with "jetBlue." In the background, there is a body of water with boats and a city skyline with tall buildings. The sky is clear with a few clouds, and the sun appears to be setting or rising, casting a warm light over the scene.

Catching up on some reader mail, and also on big changes coming in airports served, meals on board, and vaguely boring partnerships.

DLD 399: Direct to you

The image shows a spacious, modern airport terminal with a high ceiling and large windows allowing natural light to flood the area. The floor is shiny and reflective, and the ceiling is lined with evenly spaced lights. There are a few people in the distance, and rows of seating are visible further down the terminal. The overall atmosphere is clean and quiet.

Another airline disappears, but we’re still here. You can decide if that’s a good trade or not.
