Is there a good way to describe the 17+ hour flights that seem to be proliferating? Ultra long-haul doesn't seem to be quite enough. So we're brainstorming new ideas in this week's episode.

Also in this week's show:

* The US government is blocking flights to most of Cuba* United Airlines hosted a Media Day event* Some interesting data on what are hubs and how they compare* Air New Zealand dumps London for Newark * Doha Airport plans its expansion* Boeing further delays 777x, cuts 787 rate (and Commercial Aircraft CEO fired)* Airbus picks up a Spirit 100 frame order 

And, as always, plenty more. Enjoy the show!
