Airports come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and there's even a saying, "When you've seen one airport, you've...seen one airport." Join #nerdbirds Jeremy, Rachel, and Kai as they discuss their perspectives on the airport experience, and the path commercial aviation might take in the near future. (Also, Happy One Month Anniversary to our podcast series!)

With #nerdbirds co-host Jeremy set to graduate from college, we thought it fitting to feature travel tips for students -- especially alternatives to stereotypical Spring Break-type trips.

Join hosts Rachel and Jeremy as they celebrate the second anniversary of the final Virgin America flight, where the #nerdbirds met. Plus, hear from #nerdbird Eric about his eight celebration flights from destination inaugurals to brand new aircraft. Who said you can't have a party on a plane? Not us!

Join co-hosts Rachel and Jeremy with #nerdbirds David and Kai as they chat about their favorite places to stay. Listen to fun hostel stories from David, luxury hotel experiences from Jeremy and Kai, and couchsurfing with Rachel. Don't know which one you like the most? Listen to our discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each one.

Jeremy, Rachel, and Brendan discuss the age-old travel question: How much planning is enough? Listen along as they talk through their stories of meticulously planning, finding serendipity, and mixing the two as they traveled the globe.

In our final intro lightning round, we chat with airline veteran Kai and highlight our favorite topics over the next 20 (!) episodes — talk about being inspired by recent conversations!

Listen along as we learn about two more #nerdbirds and their favorite aviation stories. Take a walk down airplane memory lane with Los Angeles-based Brendan, and learn more about planespotting from Boston-based Eric in another exciting lightning round episode.

Hosts Jeremy and Rachel decide to introduce all the #nerdbirds through aircraft/airline/airport lightning rounds. In this episode, meet Charlie (based in Seattle) and David (originally from Vermont, now based in San Francisco). Learn about David and Jeremy's early avgeeky tendencies, ponder with Rachel what exactly should be the plural of Airbus, and get a taste of Charlie's airport karma for a future travel disasters episode.

After an incredibly fun first lightning round, the #nerdbirds went back for more...two more to be exact! Listen in as #nerdbirds Jeremy and Rachel debate Spirit vs. Frontier (and several other airlines), and discuss dream destinations and favorite food.
