New Dreamliner configurations, a new deal for collusion and an awesome 747 fly-by, all part of the excitement in this week’s show!
It is an interesting time to be a 3rd party loyalty program operator. Air Canada is now trying to buy back Aeroplan and Aeromexico made a move, too. Plus, the TSA might be tracking you for no good reason, a 787 got lost at Narita and Delta is downgrading passengers when upgrading some aircraft.
Fozz almost got stuck in Berlin this weekend, but quick thinking saved the day. Also, errors bring lawsuits, The ME3 are all sorts of crazy and purple is coming to Delta’s uniforms.

- September 1, 2016
- Tagged as: Air New Zealand, Iceland, Los Angeles, podcast, Premium Economy
How premium is that Premium Economy? Air New Zealand is making changes and some are not happy. Iceland adventures, LAX growing and more in this episode!
All premiums, all the time, but what does that really mean for passengers. Are these new seating options really an upgrade?
