DLD 435: An eye on the future

New planes, new routes, and new seats all bode well for the future. And some lines being dropped might not be so bad, either.

DLD 423: Are you aware??

A small commercial airplane with "Universal Hydrogen" branding on its fuselage is taking off from a runway. The aircraft has a colorful design with blue, white, and red elements, and the tail features a logo with a hydrogen symbol. The background shows a partly cloudy sky and a landscape with fields and distant buildings.

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 418: Flying on funky wings

New wing designs, and new engines hanging from them, could change the way we fly. Or at least make it more efficient.

DLD 297: Pantsless Professionals

A small boat with several people on board is floating on calm water during sunset or sunrise. The water reflects the warm colors of the sky, creating a serene and picturesque scene. The people on the boat appear to be engaged in some activity, possibly fishing or preparing nets. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and tranquil.

As borders start to reopen the requirements for entry to some countries can be onerous. Or completely reasonable. But the inconsistencies make it really challenging for travelers to plan.

DLD 174: New year, new rules, new programs

A close-up image of a train ticket and a passport. The train ticket is for a journey from Chengdu South (Chengdunan) to Leshan, scheduled for November 12, 2017, at 09:32 AM. The ticket price is ¥51.0, and the seat number is 02 Car 15B. The background shows a blurred electronic departure board with red and yellow lights.

Welcome to 2018, where hotel loyalty programs are updating their rules and one is starting over completely. A late 2017 bankruptcy is finally getting resolved and new seats are coming (yes, slimlines) to a major European airline. And somehow we’re still relatively optimistic about the whole thing.
