DLD 66: Upgrades when you want them

A large airplane is flying in the sky, which is filled with gray clouds. In the foreground, there is a modern bridge structure with cables and a glass observation tower. The bridge and tower are partially silhouetted against the cloudy sky.

Live from World Travel Market in London the crew is talking about Etihad’s The Residence, the new AAdvantage program for 2015 and a hotel loyalty program which doesn’t really focus on loyalty, at least not the way we’ve typically looked at it.

A person is holding a blue and red device with yellow strings attached to it. The device appears to be a musical instrument, possibly a type of percussion instrument. The person is wearing dark clothing with a red trim. The background is slightly blurred, showing some red and orange colors.

This week we’re talking about the new A321neoLR replacement for transoceanic 752s, a new partnership between Hertz & United, American’s new business class seats and a bit of ebola. Come join the fun!
