DLD 400: We suck at travel

The image shows an aerial view from an airplane window during twilight. The airplane's wing is prominently visible in the foreground, extending towards the horizon. Below, a landscape of fields, roads, and scattered buildings can be seen, with some areas illuminated by artificial lights. The sky is partly cloudy with a mix of dark clouds and a faint glow from the setting or rising sun, creating a serene and picturesque scene.

It was supposed to be a quick weekend getaway for the crew. That didn’t work out so well. Also in this episode: Virgin Atlantic joins SkyTeam Eurostar’s Brexit capacity cuts Cleveland gets its European nonstop…

DLD 393: From Hanoi with love

The image shows a model airplane with "Japan Airlines" written on the side, along with "Happy Anniversary" and some red heart drawings. The model is placed on a stand that also has "Japan Airlines" written on it. Next to the model airplane, there is a card or brochure featuring images of different Japan Airlines aircraft. In the foreground, there is a small, wrapped gift box with a gold ribbon.

We haven’t had much to say about travel to Asia in recent months. That changes this week, as we’re joined by Michael Traeger from TravelZork to share some thoughts. A lot of thoughts, really.

DLD 390: Back from Europe

Aerial view of a large cityscape with a prominent skyline in the background, featuring numerous tall buildings and skyscrapers. In the foreground, there are several bodies of water, including rivers and wetlands, intersected by bridges and roads. The landscape includes a mix of industrial areas, green spaces, and urban development. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds.

Summer travel is definitely here. Good luck with that.

DLD 386: Intel(ligence?) Inside

A person is reclining in a comfortable airplane seat, wearing an eye mask and covered with a blanket. The individual appears to be resting or sleeping. The airplane window next to them shows a view of clouds and a blue sky. The seat has built-in controls and a screen in front of it.

Some terribly dorky jokes get us started this week, but eventually we manage to transition to terribly dorky conversations about airplanes, so that’s mostly a win.

DLD 350: Wider than the average show

Alt text: A view through an archway of a historic courtyard with classical architecture. The buildings on either side have a mix of red brick and stone facades with arched windows and columns. A large hanging lantern is centered in the archway, and the sky above is overcast. Benches line the walls of the courtyard, and there is a sign in the middle of the courtyard.

How does just one out of service plane cause so much trouble for a major airline?? But it worked mostly in our favor, so no complaints this time around.
