DLD 476: Giving away Newark

Newark is on the move. Plus XB-1 takes flight, United dives into pooling, and Avelo looks to grow internationally. Plus plenty more.

DLD 469: First, make a roux

a bridge over a river

Why? because it leads to deliciousness later. But that has nothing to do with this week’s conversation. Fortunately, we’re joined by Ed in an effort to keep things on track.

DLD 453: Shuffling the deck

Thank goodness change is such a constant in this industry. Otherwise what would we have to talk about every week?

DLD 450: Wait, there’s now lounge elite status??

Delta made waves with its SkyMiles/SkyClub rules changes last week. Plus, new seats, new routes, and an end to revenge.

DLD 436: The future of travel, as predicted at AIX 2023

Two men are sitting in what appear to be airplane seats, each wearing a high-visibility vest (one in yellow and the other in orange). They are smiling at the camera. The seats have tray tables extended in front of them. In the background, there are other people standing and some construction materials on the floor.

What does the future of air travel hold? Odds are it will appear on the show floor at Aircraft Interiors Expo a few years before it flies, and we’ve got a report from the show.

DLD 432: You want fries with that

The image shows a Frontier Airlines airplane parked at an airport gate. The aircraft has the word "FRONTIER" written in large green letters on its fuselage. The tail of the plane features a large image of a squirrel, and the name "Sammy the Squirrel" is written near the front of the plane. There is another Frontier Airlines plane in the background with a different animal image on its tail. Various ground service vehicles and equipment are positioned around the planes. The sky is overcast, and the airport terminal building is visible in the background.

Can fries be reasonably served as a side on board? And, quite frankly, why not tater tots instead??

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 413: Living the Dream(liner)

A United Airlines airplane is flying over a large body of water with an island visible below. The sky is partly cloudy, and the aircraft is shown in profile with the airline's logo and name clearly visible on the fuselage and tail.

Just a couple hundred (more) new planes coming to United through the end of the decade. Nothing to get excited about here.
