Podcast – Dots, Lines & Destinations

DLD 491: More bad news for Boeing, but maybe it is good? 11.07.2024 37:07 ↓

A trio of Boeing stories top the show this week. And somehow pleading guilty to a crime might end up being good for the company?

DLD 490: The search for more fees 04.07.2024 40:55 ↓

Airlines love ancillary fees. But is there a point at which shifting charges out of the base fare will finally be too much?

DLD 489: Well and truly screwed 28.06.2024 36:58 ↓

The US DOT seems keen to rewrite the rules – or at least how they're enforced – in a way that's liable to significantly impact the US market.

DLD 488: Blame Taylor Swift 20.06.2024 41:00 ↓

We finally managed to work a pop culture reference into the show…only took a decade.

DLD 487: Unreasonable expectations 13.06.2024 ↓

Mostly by us, but also perhaps from an airline or two…

DLD 486: Searching for our App-y place 06.06.2024 ↓

Something a bit different this week as Stephan and Fozz take a closer look at some airline apps.

DLD 486AIX: The future of travel, as seen at AIX 2024 04.06.2024 ↓

We're back in Hamburg for another go at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2024, taking a look at what the future will be for commercial aviation.

DLD 485: Getting there eventually 30.05.2024 ↓

Maybe taking five flights rather than just two, and adding an extra overnight en route, was a mistake.

DLD 484: Board games 23.05.2024 ↓

Why do executives have so much trouble making tough decisions? Or are they just blind to the challenges?

DLD 483: Change is coming 16.05.2024 49:31 ↓

Is change good? Is it bad? Should you get a refund? Or fly the new routes? Come join us for these conversations and more…

DLD 482: Plane problems 09.05.2024 30:09 ↓

Who will be the first to fly the A321XLR? And when will the 777X ever fly? At least now we have some A350 confirmed flight times and an A380 on the move…

DLD 481: A dash of regulatory oversight 02.05.2024 38:52 ↓

Regulators are forcing airlines to do good things for passengers, which is refreshing. Plus maybe a new Dubai airport a decade from now, and lots more.

DLD 480: Defer, deflect, but don’t drown 25.04.2024 37:15 ↓

Aircraft orders shifting, service types are switching, and one major airport is underwater in this week's show.

DLD 479: A deviation 18.04.2024 26:46 ↓

Often times the shortest distance between two airports is defined by politics more than geography. Last weekend that was more the case than usual.

DLD 478: Deep fried and delicious 11.04.2024 23:56 ↓

Join us on another jaunt through the juicy world of aviation gossip, airline route news, and loyalty relaunches.

DLD 477: Playing the fool 04.04.2024 34:07 ↓

We're skipping April Fool's Day in favor of some real news, including at least one story we were convinced should've been a joke.

DLD 476: Giving away Newark 28.03.2024 38:13 ↓

Newark is on the move. Plus XB-1 takes flight, United dives into pooling, and Avelo looks to grow internationally. Plus plenty more.

DLD 475: A rough go 21.03.2024 29:34 ↓

Well, that's another week that Boeing probably wishes didn't happen…

DLD 474: A shock to the system 14.03.2024 49:55 ↓

Hopefully not too shocking, of course. But maybe enough to keep you awake, unlike those pilots…

DLD 473: Huh, so now what? 07.03.2024 37:38 ↓

American has a bunch more planes on order, while JetBlue and Spirit officially call it quits. Plus lots more...

DLD 472: Bags and buses and out of business 29.02.2024 32:51 ↓

More baggage talk, plus buses, and an airline is out of business.

DLD 471: It still doesn’t make sense 22.02.2024 35:38 ↓

Revisiting a couple stories from the past few weeks, and they still don't make much sense. Plus lots of new news, too.

DLD 470: Out of service 15.02.2024 34:22 ↓

What's the silliest reason you've ever heard of for planes to be removed from service? We might have a new top contender for that title.

DLD 469: First, make a roux 08.02.2024 45:31 ↓

Why? because it leads to deliciousness later. But that has nothing to do with this week's conversation. Fortunately, we're joined by Ed in an effort to keep things on track.

DLD 468: More MAX than you can shake a stick at 01.02.2024 37:26 ↓

The MAX continues to dominate news cycles, but there's lots more out there also worth talking about.
