Perhaps it was a mistake to let an outsider take the lead on one of our episodes. But what follows in nearly an hour of spectacular conversation about, not surprisingly, travel and pent-up demand and what the return to normal will be like.

This week we've got Ed from Miles To Go leading the party and, well, it is interesting.

Some of the topics in this episode:

* Cancun is raising taxes on visitors, trying to cash in on relatively strong tourism demand* Iceland is open again for US tourists* Lots of talk about routes, with Ed choosing to focus on Dulles* Deicing is important* Rental cars are strange

For our Patreon subscribers we have bonus content, including:

* Meth is a helluva drug* Hong Kong is playing favorites for pilots

And plenty more. Enjoy the show!
