Spring is here! The Northern IATA season started last weekend, and even if the weather isn’t entirely cooperating, new routes are alive.

Hydrogen is flying, at least on one engine. And that’s way better for awareness than some of the other stuff we’ve seen lately.
DLD 400: We suck at travel

It was supposed to be a quick weekend getaway for the crew. That didn’t work out so well. Also in this episode: Virgin Atlantic joins SkyTeam Eurostar’s Brexit capacity cuts Cleveland gets its European nonstop…
We considered just having this episode go missing, an homage to the HTTP 404 status code. But there’s too much interesting stuff to cover instead.
Slightly bizarre to have the lead topic for an aviation podcast to be a subway story, but we’ve never really been a normal group. Plus, we’ve got Jason on to talk about that and many other airplane-related bits.
DLD 365: TATL Tales

- Tagged as: A321neo, A321XLR, A350, A380, Air Europa, AirBaltic, Airbus, BOS, Boston, British Airways, BWI, elite status, Eurowings Discover, Finnair, IAG, Icelandair, jetblue, KLM, lawsuit, Lufthansa, masks, merger, Mosaic, Play, Qantas, Qatar Airways, St. Louis, STL, TATL, Transatlantic, Transavia, TrueBlue, upgrades
Lots of news in the Transatlantic market this week, with high hopes for Summer 2022. Lawsuits, and new elite status and maskholes, too.

So much noise for a handful of new routes. Is it really worth the hype? Plus an airline blocks customers and a hotel sues its parent brand.
DLD 335: It really was that nice
- May 27, 2021
- Tagged as: 737 MAX, Aerion, BizAv, Boeing, Breeze, Breeze Airways, business aviation, Canada, EWR, FAA, LaGuardia, lawsuit, LGA, Lufthansa, Newark, podcast, routes, Spirit Airlines, strike, supersonic, vaccines, Vancouver
A strike, two lawsuits, one shutdown and another airline launch, plus a production boost. The industry is full of happenings and we’re barely scratching the surface.
Join us for a walk down memory lane, triggered by some things we screwed up in our previous episode. Plus CARES2, Boeing, Spirit and More.
We definitely don’t recommend eating it, but the 2,000 year old street meat discoveries in the ruins of Pompeii are all sorts of awesome.
