We haven't had much to say about travel to Asia in recent months. That changes this week, as we're joined by Michael Traeger from TravelZork to share some thoughts. A lot of thoughts, really.

Also in this episode:

* Lots of talk about premium travel from the US to Southeast Asia, and luxury options while in Vietnam* Virgin Atlantic’s new A330neo, including the Retreat Suite J+ * This week in European aero collapse: * Heathrow adds daily passenger caps through the end of the summer; Emirates fights back, also the slots issue is no more thanks to updated guidance that came just after we recorded. * Icelandair sending its own baggage handlers to Amsterdam * Delta ferries baggage out of Heathrow

For our Patreon subscribers we have bonus content, including:

* Both Delta and United get the Cape Town slots* Connect Airlines is hiring 30 Captains at $250k/year* UA cutting SFO/DEN-STS (oct 28)

And plenty more. Enjoy the show!
