DLD 416: Going Retro(fit)

The image shows the interior of an airport terminal. The terminal features a high, glass-paneled ceiling with metal beams and columns. There are escalators in the foreground leading up to the main concourse area. The concourse has various signs indicating directions to all gates, ticketing, and other airport services. There is a large American flag hanging prominently in the background. The terminal is decorated with holiday wreaths and garlands, suggesting a festive season. There are also some people visible in the distance, likely passengers or airport staff.

Refreshing cabins is a nice touch, but why does it take so long?? Also, how long will it take Southwest to pay out all the comp it owes.

DLD 406: Mega investments

Aerial view from an airplane window showing a landscape with a mix of forested areas, open fields, and a body of water. The airplane's engine is visible on the right side of the image. The landscape below includes patches of green and brown, indicating a mix of vegetation and possibly autumn foliage. There are also some scattered buildings and roads visible.

New cabins, new partners, and new fuels are just a few of the major investments airlines announced that we’re talking about in this week’s episode.

DLD 397: Scavenger Hunt

A white and blue seaplane with the registration number N819BB is parked on a paved surface in front of a brick building with large windows. The seaplane has floats for landing on water and is branded with the name "Tailwind" on its tail. The sky is partly cloudy, and there is a grassy area next to the building. A person is standing near the plane.

Scavenging for spare parts, profitable routes, or just good travel ideas? We’ve got it all in this week’s show.

DLD 386: Intel(ligence?) Inside

A person is reclining in a comfortable airplane seat, wearing an eye mask and covered with a blanket. The individual appears to be resting or sleeping. The airplane window next to them shows a view of clouds and a blue sky. The seat has built-in controls and a screen in front of it.

Some terribly dorky jokes get us started this week, but eventually we manage to transition to terribly dorky conversations about airplanes, so that’s mostly a win.

DLD 291: The Cheese Soup test

The image shows three vintage Continental Airlines boarding passes or tickets. Each ticket features the Continental Airlines logo, which consists of a red globe with horizontal lines, and the word "CONTINENTAL" written below it. The tickets have a design with red, yellow, and orange vertical stripes. The background is a dark surface, possibly a table or display board.

We’re deep in the throes of learning what requirements will exist for passengers to prove they’re healthy and resume travel. This week’s episode has a very unlikely candidate for one such test.
