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!
