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.
