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 395: Ripe for disruption

The image shows a close-up of a cluster of blueberries on a bush. The berries are in various stages of ripeness, with some being fully ripe and blue, while others are still pink or white. The green leaves of the bush surround the berries, and the background is a blurred outdoor setting with grass.

More leisure travelers than expected, plus some gardening tips. Oh, and lots of airline news, too.

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 368: Not so far flung

A wooden dock covered in snow extends over a calm body of water. There is a wooden chair on the dock facing the water. The shoreline is rocky and also covered in snow. In the background, there are hills and a distant shoreline with some buildings, and the sky is overcast.

We shouldn’t be here right now. We should all be there. But we aren’t. And we don’t even really know where “there” is. A most interesting predicament.

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.

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.
