Season 3 kicks off with Dan and Alex returning from a three-month summer break, catching up on travel adventures and aviation news. They discuss why the podcast is now audio-only except for in-studio recordings, and share listener excitement during their hiatus. Highlights include Heathrow bus-gate woes, remote recording challenges, and a lively recap of flights across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Dan reviews niche airlines like Xiamen and Hainan; Alex laments Rome’s extreme heat and Europe’s lack of AC. They analyze 2024 summer travel trends: emptier flights, dynamic pricing, “coolcation” tourism in Scandinavia, and Jet2’s viral ad. Aviation topics cover Aegean’s new A321XLR long-haul plans to India, Turkish Airlines’ Air Europa stake, and Lufthansa/Swiss Allegris cabin quirks. The duo’s trademark humor shines through travel fails, and industry analysis—making this episode a fun, insightful return for global aviation and travel enthusiasts.
