DLD 433: Going native 18.05.2023 28:44 ↓

Two nice implementations of indigenous themes and art from airlines announced this week, and the impact for passengers is pretty good, too.

DLD 432: You want fries with that 11.05.2023 43:13 ↓

Can fries be reasonably served as a side on board? And, quite frankly, why not tater tots instead??

DLD 431: Shifting the Dream 04.05.2023 38:59 ↓

A special Dreamliner is on the move. And we're not really sitting still, either.

DLD 430: A long ride home 27.04.2023 34:58 ↓

It is all fun and games until a rules change hits home. Then the rage rises to the surface.

DLD 429: To sleep, perchance to dream 20.04.2023 31:27 ↓

What matters most on long-haul flying? And why isn't it a good night's sleep??

DLD 428: Squeeze play 13.04.2023 ↓

Trying to squeeze more planes into a terminal is rarely an easy task. When the terminal is brand new and someone screwed up the design work it is even worse.

DLD 427: Scrounging around 06.04.2023 41:21 ↓

Fares are up, and revenues are strong in many markets. But that doesn't mean everyone is doing great, financially or otherwise.

DLD 426: Spring cleaning 30.03.2023 35:59 ↓

Spring is here! The Northern IATA season started last weekend, and even if the weather isn't entirely cooperating, new routes are alive.

DLD 425: Canadian Considerations 23.03.2023 40:04 ↓

Canada makes a few appearances in this week's episode, as does the Middle East.

DLD 423: Are you aware?? 09.03.2023 43:28 ↓

Hydrogen is flying, at least on one engine. And that's way better for awareness than some of the other stuff we've seen lately.

DLD 422: Meh 02.03.2023 49:24 ↓

We wanted to be excited. We wanted to celebrate a new and innovative product. Alas, the newly announced F/J for Qantas is not it.

DLD 421: Terminal Condition 23.02.2023 31:02 ↓

A few "whoopsies" at terminals this week left many a traveler affected.

DLD 420: Widget watch, with Ed 16.02.2023 47:15 ↓

We're joined this week by special guest Ed Pizza of Miles to Go and Pizza In Motion to talk about changing allegiances and the rest of the latest news.

DLD 419: Where are the mascots? 09.02.2023 42:45 ↓

Competing university mascots at an inaugural flight? Sure, why not. It is Delaware, after all.

DLD 418: Flying on funky wings 26.01.2023 41:03 ↓

New wing designs, and new engines hanging from them, could change the way we fly. Or at least make it more efficient.

DLD 417: Safety challenges 19.01.2023 38:52 ↓

A rough week in aviation for safety incidents. But we're also trying to find some positive news…

DLD 416: Going Retro(fit) 12.01.2023 37:39 ↓

Refreshing cabins is a nice touch, but why does it take so long?? Also, how long will it take Southwest to pay out all the comp it owes.

DLD 415: An entertaining diversion 05.01.2023 45:12 ↓

Diversions galore, and a meltdown, too. It was a rough end for many in 2022, but 2023 is starting strong.

DLD 413: Living the Dream(liner) 15.12.2022 42:50 ↓

Just a couple hundred (more) new planes coming to United through the end of the decade. Nothing to get excited about here.

DLD 412: Dollar dollar bills, y’all 08.12.2022 42:52 ↓

Singapore Airlines is out spending cash like it is 2019 again, so that seems to be good news for other airlines.

DLD 411: Who needs sleep? 01.12.2022 36:35 ↓

Long flights, jet lag, and do pilots need to sleep on a trip, too?

DLD 410: Many millions of milers 24.11.2022 47:13 ↓

How many million milers is too many? Plus a crazy crash and new transatlantic routes on the horizon.

DLD 409: Sorry we missed you 17.11.2022 48:24 ↓

Maybe we're supposed to say something in advance when the publishing schedule changes. Oopsie.
