Flight 056. The Attache Guide to Travel. War of words at the Paris Air Show. The A380-meh-plus. PHX, LGW, DXB heatwave disruption. MAD T1 leads to Mordor. Alex unlikes EasyJet and gets a BA seat mess. Paul gets lost in FRA and in the world of infuriating GDSs. Both sleep like babies on 747s. And much more.

It's Alex and Paul this time, not Paul and Alex, for it's another Alex (you've met her in 133!). From Male, with an all business airline, to Abu Dhabi, who means business with its new airport, we fly all around and over-analyze details of airlines (is there an orange remnant on that 319?) and airports (when even signage isn't enough).

138 AUH - Chic new Abu Dhabi, all business BeOnd, MAX flying challenge, humane low cost, wireless lavatory IFE

Paul and Paolo share almost the same name, almost the same birthday, nearly the same height, and a great friendship and love for air travel. We compare notes on Cambodia and Vietnam.

137 SAI - The Great Tour of Cambodia and Vietnam, with a cup of water from Cambodia Angkor Air

Alex flies to New York, meets the jet stream and an unbelievably bad customer representative. Paul flies to Dubai, tries the new Emirates plant-based signature dishes with a First upgrade that this podcast made possible.

136 DXB - Vegan First Class, lounge bouncers, jet stream rush, intermittent flying fasting, improper JFK

"They looked around the region at all these great airports and gone: let's get the TK Maxx version of that"

135 RAK - Epic tropical lounge, composite burn, full row downgrade, going veg, MAXed out Boeing rant

Alex returns to Hong Kong, Paul discovers La Compagnie. So much travel, so little time to record!
