Fortunately not too much drone chatter this week; we’ve got more important stuff to talk about.
DLD 398: A great American hero? Or zero?

So much news from American we might have to rebrand the show. But lots of other goodies, too.
DLD 355: Weather Gone Wild

We faced a couple mechanicals getting this week’s episode recorded, but are willing to admit that truth, rather than blaming weather, unlike some airlines.
DLD 349: It’s a conspiracy!
- September 2, 2021
- Tagged as: 787, 787-10, 787-9, A321neo, A380, Air New Zealand, alitalia, awards, cash & points, Chicago, cruise, Delta Air Lines, frequent flier, frequent flyer, ITA Airlines, O'Hare, ORD, podcast, points, Qantas, rewards, singapore, Singapore Air, singapore airlines, South African Airways, United Airlines
Kicking off the show with a bad conspiracy theory about hurricanes probably isn’t our strongest play, but here we are. It gets better pretty quickly.
We lost last week’s episode, but came back strong this time around with planes big and small crossing oceans and some fun new routes and money for US startups.
DLD 319: Bursting that bubble

Collapsing joint ventures, splitting London, and plenty of bubbles to burst in this week’s show.
As borders start to reopen the requirements for entry to some countries can be onerous. Or completely reasonable. But the inconsistencies make it really challenging for travelers to plan.
No, we’re not the first people to make that joke about a trip to Kathmandu (and beyond in Nepal). But Seth is there now and having way too much fun so we’re talking about it and lots of other fun travel news as well.
What’s better than running in to a fan of the podcast in Singapore on a random business trip? Getting to chat with them about some cool technology that helps make travel better. Oh, and some fun dots and lines accumulated over the years.
DLD 254: Shut it down!
- August 8, 2019
- Tagged as: 737 MAX, American Airlines, Antitrust Immunity, Delta Air Lines, Dulles, Hong Kong, IAD, ICN, Incheon, joint venture, LIN, Milan, MXP, narita, NRT, singapore, SkyTeam
Sure, we can just close that airport for a few months. No big deal. And maybe close down tourism in a city, too. And close a hub while we’re at it. Lots of fun stuff in this week’s show!
