Listen "What Airlines Don’t Want You to Know About Summer Travel"
Episode Synopsis
In the season finale of On-Air with Dan and Alex, we dive into everything summer travel: from the chaos of peak season flying to the long-awaited new terminal opening at Malé Airport in the Maldives. Dan shares firsthand insights on seaplane transfers, transit tips, and why Maldives airport delays used to cost travelers thousands. Alex breaks down summer airfare trends, ATC delays, and what airlines are doing right—and wrong—this year. We also answer listener questions about airline mechanics at outstations, foot etiquette on planes, and whether airline execs should fly other carriers for perspective. Plus: Scandinavian summer woes, Ryanair’s ruthless efficiency, and the surprising downside of those giant overhead bins on A320neos. Whether you’re planning a luxury vacation, chasing award seats, or just trying to survive security lines, this episode is packed with insights for frequent flyers and aviation geeks alike.
