DLD 341: A Midsummer Night’s (fever) Dream

The image shows a view from an airplane window during takeoff or landing. The airplane wing is visible in the foreground, and the shadow of the airplane can be seen on the ground below. In the background, there is an industrial area with numerous shipping containers, cranes, and buildings, including a large IKEA store. The sky is clear, and the overall scene suggests an airport located near a port or industrial zone.

Fancy new screens, a questionable route plan, open borders (sortof) and a trio of new/renewed airlines make the news this week. Plus, what happens if you don’t pay a DOT fine??

DLD 338: On Island Time

The image shows the view from an airplane window during landing. The airplane's wing is prominently visible with its flaps extended. The aircraft is on a runway with a clear sky and scattered clouds in the background. There are some buildings and parked vehicles visible in the distance, along with some greenery and trees near the runway.

Back on the road and exploring the world, with some thoughts on just how well that’s going overall and why we’re not in a huge hurry to do more of it too soon.

DLD 337: The Tropics of New England

Aerial view from an airplane window showing the aircraft's wing and engine. Below, there is a landscape with a river, bridges, and an urban area with buildings and roads. The sky is partly cloudy with scattered white clouds.

Summer is heating up in more ways than one. Booking rooms in some destinations is dicey and seems unlikely to get better any time soon.

DLD 328: The thrill of the hunt

The image shows a TAP Air Portugal Airbus A330neo aircraft parked on the tarmac near an airport terminal. The aircraft is white with the TAP Air Portugal logo prominently displayed on the fuselage in green and red. In front of the aircraft, there is a large sign that reads "1st A330neo" in green and red letters. The image is credited to AIRBUS 2018, with the photo taken by A. Doumenjou / master films.

A mistake fare brought back some excitement we haven’t felt in a long time, even if it eventually cancelled. Plus Iceland to Antarctica and much more!

DLD 327: Travel Traditions

The image shows the wing and engine of an airplane in flight, viewed from a passenger window. The sky is mostly clear with some scattered clouds, and the airplane wing extends into the distance. The engine is visible in the lower part of the image. The sky has a gradient of blue shades, indicating a high altitude. The image has a watermark in the bottom right corner with the text "PaxEx.Aero | @WandrMe".

Sometimes travel is about new and different adventures. Sometimes it is about repeating the most boring or ridiculous habits. And, when done right, it is often a great blend of both. We close out this week’s episode with some discussion of travel souvenirs that we’re constantly collecting, or at least that we did back when we traveled more.

DLD 325: Flip-flopping along

A person's arm covered in wood shavings is seen in the foreground, with their hand resting on a piece of wood that has a circular cutout. In the background, there are clamps and other woodworking tools. The scene appears to be in a workshop.

The air travel industry is seeing policy changes at an incredible pace, often flipflopping between opposing positions with minimal warning. We’re just trying to keep up…
