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 187: In it for the (Ultra) Long Haul

Alt text: View from an airplane window showing the aircraft's wing and engine. The sky is painted with hues of orange, pink, and blue, indicating either sunrise or sunset. Below, a blanket of clouds stretches out to the horizon. The image is serene and captures the beauty of flying above the clouds.

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.
