This week’s episode is a little different. It’s just Fozz and Stephan, as Seth is soaking in all the avgeekery he can at the Dubai Airshow and there hasn’t been a ton of news. But, some of the highlights are:
DLD 355: Weather Gone Wild
- October 14, 2021
- Tagged as: Air Belgium, Air India, AirAsia, American Express, biometrics, British Airways, business class, credit card, credit cards, Gatwick, LGW, lounge, lounges, Membership Rewards, podcast, points, premium cabin, routes, singapore, singapore airlines, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airlines
We faced a couple mechanicals getting this week’s episode recorded, but are willing to admit that truth, rather than blaming weather, unlike some airlines.
DLD 301: Heat wave!
- July 23, 2020
- Tagged as: 747, American Airlines, British Airways, FAA, Icelandair, jetblue, LCY, London City, lounge, union
Hot weather across the country and some hot topics for discussion on this week’s show, like new partnerships, furloughs and retirements.
DLD 299: Openings and closings
- July 9, 2020
- Tagged as: 737 MAX, 747, 747-8i, Air Canada, American Airlines, award, awards, bankruptcy, Boeing, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, EasyJet, Finnair, frequent flier, frequent flyer, Heathrow, joint venture, lavatory, LHR, lounge, lounges, Norwegian, points, Qantas, reward, rewards, Ryanair
More openings than closings should be good news for lots in the industry, though things remain precarious on many fronts.
DLD 293: Turn around or a turnaround??
- May 28, 2020
- Tagged as: Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Air Transat, BER, Berlin, Cape Town, COVID-19, COVID19, CPT, Delta Air Lines, Eurowings, Hertz, India, JNB, lounge, lounges, Lufthansa, merger, podcast, rental cars, routes, SXF, TATL, Tegel, Transatlantic, TXL
An airport closes, possibly forever. Another was already closed when the plane showed up. And airlines are still planning their financial turnarounds as demand starts to creep higher.
DLD 227: Not so fast!
- January 17, 2019
- Tagged as: Air Asia, Air New Zealand, Brexit, business class, Cathay Pacific, engines, first class, GE9X, Iberia, lounge, podcast, Polaris, TSA, United Airlines
A government shutdown and slowing airline expansion both take their toll. Plus an airline brand dies. But mistake fares live on!
