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!

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!
DLD 218: Smoothing connections

A smooth connection in Seattle was unexpected. Smoothing connections in Africa might be useful. And Brexit likely means rough connections for millions. Hooray!
Engines, engines, everywhere! Even more of which are now broken. Plus many inaugurals and maybe your biometric security data will be sold to an airline or airport soon.
Will the Singapore-Newark route really fly? Some of us are more skeptical than others. Plus, United’s new elite status for corporations, body scanner cameras for the subway, gentrification sucks, Twitter sucks, US traffic from China tanked and more.
DLD 196: Some long ones

- Tagged as: Air France, Bombardier, Brussels Airlines, elite status, EWR, IATA, IATAAGM18, Newark, O'Hare, ORD, PaxEx, PIT, Pittsburgh, PVG, Shanghai, SIN, singapore, singapore airlines, Star Alliance, United, United Airlines
We mean long routes, not an extra long episode, so don’t worry too much about that. Then again, some of our conversations are pretty long rambles. Enjoy!
DLD 187: In it for the (Ultra) Long Haul
- April 5, 2018
- Tagged as: 787, 787-10, Air India, Air New Zealand, Auckland, Australia, business class, Chicago, Dreamliner, El Al, Israel, lawsuit, London, PaxEx, Perth, podcast, Qantas, Saudi Arabia, SIN, singapore, singapore airlines, Sydney, ULH, ultra longhaul, United Airlines
Don’t worry: This episode isn’t nearly as long as the flights we’re talking about. But with Perth-London service launched recently we’re all about the very, very long flights. Plus, special guest Cynthia Drescher is back to join in the conversation.
Jetlagged and in a crazy hotel room is not quite the ideal trip Fozz and Stephan were hoping for on this Singapore trip but things don’t always work out the way you plan.
DLD 165: Ch-ch-ch-changes
- November 2, 2017
- Tagged as: Avro, awards, Brussels Airlines, DEN, Denver, Fokker, KLM, SIN, singapore, Southwest, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines
Everything is changing, from routes to aircraft types to terminals to award charts. And there’s a good reason it is happening now. Plus, concerts on planes and a major airport expansion on the horizon.
How do you fight the clock against viral media? And is there ever really a good time for international action that isolates a country? Plus a new long Dreamliner route and animals on planes.
