DLD 402: Three planes you’ll probably never fly. Or maybe four.

The image shows the view from an airplane window. The airplane's wing is visible, extending outwards with a clear sky in the background. The sky has a gradient of colors, transitioning from light blue at the top to a soft pinkish hue near the horizon, indicating either sunrise or sunset. Below the wing, there are some clouds. The window frame of the airplane is also visible, framing the view.

Can Russia produce more than 300 commercial aircraft by the end of the decade to backfill the Boeing and Airbus frames that will be inoperable by then? And would you fly on one if they do??

DLD 399: Direct to you

The image shows a spacious, modern airport terminal with a high ceiling and large windows allowing natural light to flood the area. The floor is shiny and reflective, and the ceiling is lined with evenly spaced lights. There are a few people in the distance, and rows of seating are visible further down the terminal. The overall atmosphere is clean and quiet.

Another airline disappears, but we’re still here. You can decide if that’s a good trade or not.

DLD 390: Back from Europe

Aerial view of a large cityscape with a prominent skyline in the background, featuring numerous tall buildings and skyscrapers. In the foreground, there are several bodies of water, including rivers and wetlands, intersected by bridges and roads. The landscape includes a mix of industrial areas, green spaces, and urban development. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds.

Summer travel is definitely here. Good luck with that.

DLD 372: Going global

a room with a suitcase and circular lights

Sure, we’re not really traveling long-haul for leisure right now. But some people are. We had long time friend of the show Han on to talk about a couple recent trips.

DLD 368: Not so far flung

A wooden dock covered in snow extends over a calm body of water. There is a wooden chair on the dock facing the water. The shoreline is rocky and also covered in snow. In the background, there are hills and a distant shoreline with some buildings, and the sky is overcast.

We shouldn’t be here right now. We should all be there. But we aren’t. And we don’t even really know where “there” is. A most interesting predicament.
