DLD 526: Not so express

Marrakech remains a mess for connections. And there are plenty of other messes around the world. But we find some good news, too.

DLD 521: Far-flung Frontiers

Which new markets make sense? Both long-haul and short-haul are seeing some interesting changes.

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.

What’s the silliest reason you’ve ever heard of for planes to be removed from service? We might have a new top contender for that title.

Summer in Paris, perhaps a delightful experience. A week at Le Bourget, however, is far less appealing for us. But there’s a bit of news worth discussing.

DLD 406: Mega investments

The landscape below includes patches of green and brown, indicating a mix of vegetation and possibly autumn foliage. There are also some scattered buildings and roads visible.

New cabins, new partners, and new fuels are just a few of the major investments airlines announced that we’re talking about in this week’s episode.

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.
