DLD 582: Planten un Blomen

Aircraft Interiors Expo 2026 is a wrap, and we’ve got a report from Hamburg recapping all the fun bits about new seats and screens and more.

DLD 580: This Episode Will Expire….Eventually

Blue A220 from Breeze parked at a gate

More comfort, more planes, more rumors, and more fees take us through this week’s news.

DLD 538: Looping back

Premium economy seats on a plane

More on partners, plus London and American’s premium play and Rome for Alaska

DLD 481: A dash of regulatory oversight

Regulators are forcing airlines to do good things for passengers, which is refreshing. Plus maybe a new Dubai airport a decade from now, and lots more.

DLD 467: Cold as ice

Winter weather is giving the industry some troubles, but there’s still plenty of hot news to discuss..

DLD 436: The future of travel, as predicted at AIX 2023

Two men are sitting in what appear to be airplane seats, each wearing a high-visibility vest (one in yellow and the other in orange). They are smiling at the camera. The seats have tray tables extended in front of them. In the background, there are other people standing and some construction materials on the floor.

What does the future of air travel hold? Odds are it will appear on the show floor at Aircraft Interiors Expo a few years before it flies, and we’ve got a report from the show.

DLD 385: Worst birthday party ever

A blue and white propeller airplane with the word "Connect" written on its side is parked on an airport tarmac. The tail of the plane features a yellow circle with a blue design. In the background, there are large, arched hangars and a fuel truck. Two airport personnel in high-visibility vests are standing near the front of the plane. The sky is clear with some light clouds. The image is credited to @WandrMe and PaxEx.Aero.

Sure, the conversations were great, but our plans for birthday festivities came up short.

DLD 341: A Midsummer Night’s (fever) Dream

The image shows a view from an airplane window during takeoff or landing. The airplane wing is visible in the foreground, and the shadow of the airplane can be seen on the ground below. In the background, there is an industrial area with numerous shipping containers, cranes, and buildings, including a large IKEA store. The sky is clear, and the overall scene suggests an airport located near a port or industrial zone.

Fancy new screens, a questionable route plan, open borders (sortof) and a trio of new/renewed airlines make the news this week. Plus, what happens if you don’t pay a DOT fine??
