DLD 270: Thanksgiving travel is crazy. Literally.

The image shows a small, colorful pavilion with a prayer wheel inside, set against a mountainous backdrop. Above the pavilion, a string of prayer flags in various colors (blue, white, red, green, and yellow) is strung across the sky. The mountains are covered with trees and have rocky outcrops, and the sky is clear and blue. The scene appears to be serene and peaceful, likely in a Himalayan region.

Flying on Thanksgiving Weekend can be a crazy experience. But this year it seems someone took one of those idiotic “how to get upgraded for free” stories a bit further than they probably should have.

DLD 264: Maybe it isn’t entirely awful??

The items are placed on a wooden tray table next to a window. The airplane window shows a view of the airport tarmac outside.

A bad week for many United Airlines frequent flyer members and probably an even worse week for Boeing lead this weeks show. Plus SIM cards and South America and swanky Starlux.

DLD 218: Smoothing connections

Alt text: The image shows the interior of a modern airport terminal with a high, arched ceiling. The terminal is bustling with travelers, some standing in line at check-in counters and others walking through the area. There are several signs and information boards, as well as kiosks and counters along the sides. The architecture features large windows allowing natural light to illuminate the space.

A smooth connection in Seattle was unexpected. Smoothing connections in Africa might be useful. And Brexit likely means rough connections for millions. Hooray!
