DLD 408: Winter is coming

Aerial view from an airplane window during twilight. The image shows the wing and engine of a JetBlue aircraft, with the city lights below and a gradient sky transitioning from deep blue to orange near the horizon. The landscape includes a mix of illuminated urban areas and darker, less populated regions, with mountains visible in the distance.

The semi-annual IATA seasonal schedule change happened last weekend, and it brings some fun and interesting new routes and slot opportunities to the industry.

DLD 325: Flip-flopping along

A person's arm covered in wood shavings is seen in the foreground, with their hand resting on a piece of wood that has a circular cutout. In the background, there are clamps and other woodworking tools. The scene appears to be in a workshop.

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.
