DLD 472: Bags and buses and out of business

Air New Zealand ATR

More baggage talk, plus buses, and an airline is out of business.

With the 2023 Dubai Air Show underway there are plenty of new orders to talk about. And lots of other news, too.

Is there at least maybe, hopefully a good reason for American Airlines slashing its mini-hub in Austin?

DLD 454: Is there such a thing as real loyalty program enhancements?!?

Can loyalty programs actually make changes that seem to make things better for customers, without taking benefits away elsewhere? Tune in to find out.

DLD 448: ¿Cual Aeropuerto?

Picking an airport in Mexico might be a bit more challenging later this year. Plus flying whales and more Tokyo.

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 418: Flying on funky wings

Alt text: A serene landscape featuring a field with patches of snow in the foreground and a line of trees in the distance. The sky is filled with dramatic clouds, and the sun is partially obscured, casting rays of light through the clouds, creating a beautiful and tranquil scene.

New wing designs, and new engines hanging from them, could change the way we fly. Or at least make it more efficient.

DLD 397: Scavenger Hunt

A white and blue seaplane with the registration number N819BB is parked on a paved surface in front of a brick building with large windows. The seaplane has floats for landing on water and is branded with the name "Tailwind" on its tail. The sky is partly cloudy, and there is a grassy area next to the building. A person is standing near the plane.

Scavenging for spare parts, profitable routes, or just good travel ideas? We’ve got it all in this week’s show.
