DLD 290: Desert flyover

Alt text: The image shows a view from an airplane window during sunset. The airplane wing is visible, and the sky is filled with vibrant orange and red hues as the sun sets on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the clouds.

Thousands of planes parked, some permanently, make for stunning images. But it comes at a cost, with jobs lost and an economic hit that is hard to measure so far.

DLD 280: Alliance dalliances

Alt text: Aerial view of an airport with multiple runways and taxiways. Several airplanes are parked near terminal buildings and hangars. Adjacent to the airport, there is a large area with a winding track, possibly a test track or a racing circuit. Surrounding the airport are urban areas with residential and commercial buildings. The image is taken from an airplane window, with part of the window frame visible.

A new alliance affiliation, a new secondary cities airline in the USA and unblocking EuroBiz middles: What does it all mean?!?

DLD 270: Thanksgiving travel is crazy. Literally.

The image shows a small, colorful pavilion with a prayer wheel inside, set against a mountainous backdrop. Above the pavilion, a string of prayer flags in various colors (blue, white, red, green, and yellow) is strung across the sky. The mountains are covered with trees and have rocky outcrops, and the sky is clear and blue. The scene appears to be serene and peaceful, likely in a Himalayan region.

Flying on Thanksgiving Weekend can be a crazy experience. But this year it seems someone took one of those idiotic “how to get upgraded for free” stories a bit further than they probably should have.

DLD 265: A luxury CRJ200 experience

The image shows a Qantas airplane parked inside a hangar at night. The aircraft has a special livery with the number "100" prominently displayed on the fuselage, likely celebrating the airline's centenary. The plane is being towed by a ground vehicle. The hangar is well-lit, and the Qantas logo is visible on the side of the plane and on the tail.

Is there such a thing as a nice CRJ200 ride? And why might a new world’s longest flight be a bad idea?? Plus another top tier got harder to realize and LAX is moving its pickup zone outside the terminal loop.
