In this special episode, we celebrate one year since the launch of Plane and Simple.

To mark the occasion, we’ve turned the tables; instead of our usual deep dives, we are joined by guest Hardeep Singh—a lawyer with aviation credentials—who helps us tell our own "reverse story"

In this episode:

• We journey back to our earliest memories, from handwritten tickets and battery-operated 747 toys to first flights on Alliance Air and Jet Airways.

• We also reveal the "origin story" of the podcast itself - how a chance meeting over bag tags led to a partnership between two entrepreneurs obsessed with the "nerdy" side of aviation.

• The Filtered & Unfiltered: Editor Sankalp joins the conversation to discuss his favourite moments from the first year, including the iconic Jet Airways episode.

• The Future of Plane and Simple: First look at the 2026 P&S Calendar and our new contributor status with FlightRadar24.

We’ve moved past saying "safe flights" and embraced "Happy Flying". Tune in to find out why.
