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

DLD 393: From Hanoi with love

The image shows a model airplane with "Japan Airlines" written on the side, along with "Happy Anniversary" and some red heart drawings. The model is placed on a stand that also has "Japan Airlines" written on it. Next to the model airplane, there is a card or brochure featuring images of different Japan Airlines aircraft. In the foreground, there is a small, wrapped gift box with a gold ribbon.

We haven’t had much to say about travel to Asia in recent months. That changes this week, as we’re joined by Michael Traeger from TravelZork to share some thoughts. A lot of thoughts, really.

DLD 365: TATL Tales

The image shows the interior of an airport terminal. There are a few people walking, one of whom is pulling a suitcase. The terminal has a modern design with curved ceilings and large windows. There is a prominent information sign with an "i" symbol, and several digital screens displaying information and advertisements. A Starbucks coffee shop is visible on the right side of the image. There are also signs indicating the direction to gates B15 to B85, baggage claim, and ground transportation. The area appears to be relatively quiet with only a few travelers present.

Lots of news in the Transatlantic market this week, with high hopes for Summer 2022. Lawsuits, and new elite status and maskholes, too.

DLD 328: The thrill of the hunt

The image shows a TAP Air Portugal Airbus A330neo aircraft parked on the tarmac near an airport terminal. The aircraft is white with the TAP Air Portugal logo prominently displayed on the fuselage in green and red. In front of the aircraft, there is a large sign that reads "1st A330neo" in green and red letters. The image is credited to AIRBUS 2018, with the photo taken by A. Doumenjou / master films.

A mistake fare brought back some excitement we haven’t felt in a long time, even if it eventually cancelled. Plus Iceland to Antarctica and much more!

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!
