Podcast – Dots, Lines & Destinations

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.

DLD 467: Cold as ice 25.01.2024 25:47 ↓

Winter weather is giving the industry some troubles, but there's still plenty of hot news to discuss..

DLD 466: It just rolls off the tongue 18.01.2024 30:30 ↓

We're on the road this week, hanging out in Antwerp with some friends and talking travel.

DLD 465: This week was a hell of a year 11.01.2024 33:07 ↓

Two major aviation incidents to start the year is not a good look for 2024. Here's hoping things calm down in a hurry.

DLD 464: Got Status? 04.01.2024 47:25 ↓

As 2023 comes to a close we're talking about status earned, how we value it, and what the year ahead holds.

DLD 463: Looking to lose weight (restrictions) 21.12.2023 32:21 ↓

Long flights come with challenging performance requirements. Delta looks to shed some weight restrictions and United may be adding some next year.

DLD 462: Cool connections and an unlikely airspace plan 14.12.2023 38:47 ↓

Maybe it'll work, but there are some half-baked plans being bandied about. And we're not a fan of that unless they're our half-baked plans.

DLD 461: Aloha, Alaska! 07.12.2023 37:09 ↓

Alaska Airlines is buying Hawaiian Airlines. There are lots of reasons the deal makes sense, but more than a few questions we have about how it will play out.

DLD 460: I dunno 04.12.2023 28:30 ↓

No, really, I have no idea what to put here.

DLD 459: Thanks galore 23.11.2023 46:18 ↓

Thanksgiving week but we're all avoiding the worst of the travel challenges, so that's a win.
