- In this week's episode, Dan joins us from Nairobi, Kenya, and Alex has just landed from Bangkok, Thailand. The duo discuss their recent flights & travels, Emirates' meltdown due to the unprecedented Dubai floods + the apology from Emirates President Tim Clark. What should you do if you're ever caught in a similar travel situation? They also discuss Greece's Aegean new flat-bed business class ahead, British Airways Club Suite rollout, BA's Gothenburg-style new wet-lease agreement, the original City Airline - the carrier you've never flown with, and never need to and how to spend a transit-layover at Heathrow Terminal 5 + Q&A. This week's episode is now 'Open for Boarding' for On-Air listeners!

You have no idea how excited I got when I saw today’s episode was almost an hour and a half! My Wednesday is made!
Aw that makes us so happy to hear!
There are plenty of northern lights flights from the UK, where they go off the north coast, circle for a while to see the lights, then fly back to the point of origin.
Hey guys, love the podcast and cant wait for Wednesday's just for a new episode, to the point where me and my friend want to start a podcast of our own!
I was just wondering what are the microphones that you use.
Thank you for keeping us avgeeks entertained!
Thank you so much - we both use a pretty cheap mic for this - the Thronmax Mdrill!
Congress previously told the Transportation Department to review airline seating policies and consider how to ensure that children under 14 sit with an older family member at no extra cost. The department issued guidance last July urging airlines to do so “to the maximum extent practicable.”
I'm not an aviation geek but I do love watching the reviews of the flights.
But these podcasts are amusing and informative!! Thank you!!
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Returning to point of destination?? I’ve done this on a fear of flying experience flight from Manchester with views of North Wales coast, Snowdonia, Lake District and then Peak District when descending…..all in under 1 hour
When I heard the toilet story, couldn’t help but think of Homer Simpson …D’eau (a very poor joke !)
Ps the irony of an episode of covering “no water in the air but too much on the ground “
And finally true story re. Baggage checked in…..in the 70s returning from summer holiday in Spain to Gatwick on. Dan Air Comet (different times !) firstly after 2 hr coach to Girona only to find fog bound and diverted to Barcelona (hence coach journey back the way we came) told to check in luggage only belatedly told of technical issue so 24hrs in Barcelona heat wearing clothing for night time Gatwick arrival. Following morning flew back with greasy overhaul engineer on flight. Only flight ever taken when flew low level pass the control tower to presumably visually check undercarriage was down !
A spokeswoman for Airlines for America, a trade group that represents the largest U.S. carriers, said its members - including American, United, Delta and Southwest - don’t charge family-seating fees, although some budget airlines do.
The larger airlines “make every effort to accommodate customers traveling together, especially those traveling with children, without additional charges, and consumers are offered a range of choices at the time of ticket purchase, including various seating options,”
TIME STAMPS!!?
A new bill, the first of its kind in the U.S., would ban security screening company Clear from operating at California airports as lawmakers take aim at companies that let consumers pay to pass through security ahead of other travelers.
I do enjoy this show, but i think the discussion around "what would I do in this situation" was a little irresponsible. In an event like this the best thing to do if you are in a safe environment is to stay in place.
Emergency services have enough to do without tourists lugging their baggage around trying to find a hotel. At best you're just another person clogging up roads or transport, at worst you become someone they need to rescue using up valuable resources (which is easily avoidable).
The airport is a safe place, if it ceases to be so it becomes a priority for emergency services to provide food or aid. Monitor communications to be up to date but otherwise chill in the lounge or terminal until movement does become safe. If you sleep a night on the floor, just think of those who are trapped in much worse situations.
Alex you should have been flying Olympic Airways not Aegean back then!!

"Emirates Suffers Worst Meltdown in Its History!" All that irrelevant gab. 26 minutes until I found the section about Emirates. What a waste of my time.
President Biden took swipes at airlines and hotels Wednesday as he called on Congress to limit certain extra charges they impose on consumers. Biden said Congress should restrict airline seat-assignment fees imposed on families trying to sit together, so-called resort fees that many hotels now tack on to the bill, excessive service charges on tickets for concerts and sporting events, and fees to switch or cancel internet, cable or cellphone service.
