Join us on another jaunt through the juicy world of aviation gossip, airline route news, and loyalty relaunches.

Maybe it’ll work, but there are some half-baked plans being bandied about. And we’re not a fan of that unless they’re our half-baked plans.
DLD 403: White tails, new deals, and new lines
- September 22, 2022

Catching up on some reader mail, and also on big changes coming in airports served, meals on board, and vaguely boring partnerships.
Change happens. But it gets way worse if the airline forgets to tell you.
What’s in store this week?? Perhaps it is a surprise for everyone. Owing to some excitement in the recording and editing process we’re all about to find out together!
DLD 225: Drones! Aliens?! Or nothing at all???

- Tagged as: Air Italy, Alaska, ANA, biometrics, CBP, Chicago, Delta Air Lines, DHS, diversion, ExpressJet, LAX, Los Angeles, Milan, MXP, ORD, San Francisco, SFO, TSA, union, United Airlines
Gatwick drones attacked, and we never really learned their demands. An airline sale, a diversion and more better awards, too!
New boarding groups, new security screening and nearly 50 new airport names in Russia. An “historic” episode comes to life this week!
DLD 211: Speedy Delivery

In a growing industry where will all the planes go? SFO, MEX, AMS and many more are full while expansion options are limited. New catering, routes, boarding rules and a presidential 747 won’t change that, but we talk about them anyways.
Seth is in Hamburg, but Fozz and Stephan are debating what is the “east Bay” and what is the “south Bay”. Riveting stuff. Chime in with your opinion.
DLD 164: A Stupid LCC Play
- October 26, 2017
- Tagged as: 767, Air Berlin, Boeing, Etihad, Japan, LaGuardia, LCC, LGA, San Francisco, SFO, United, United Airlines
There’s something particularly strange about building an itinerary just to fly 4 different LCCs in 2 days in Japan. That’s what we have Seth for. Plus, a 767 renaissance, LGA shuffles, SFO air art and more.
