Ever walked rainy 2am NYC? Seen a 6am sunrise at BO18? Proposed by a fiancée’d doctor over 4am street London pizza? Cried at a Namibian sunrise? Do they know about your secret Tokyo pictures? You can’t truly lose.

Was British Airways the Emirates of the 80s/90s?

ABSOLUTE CINEMA. As our 150th gift to all who kept asking, you can now catch us in glorious Technicolor.
Yes, we’re on video.

The episode where Alex wanders into an abandoned primary school.
The episode where Paul blanks on the name of Airplane! (seriously).

Mysterious self-adhesive luggage tags, a Ferrari-red helicopter, a sad packet of crisps and an old banana — this is on the menu for episode 148, to Santorini and JFK.

Is LiveATC your ASMR?

This has to be the best Champions League semifinal ever. Absolute classic.

Good laughs again in this episode.
"We're aviation sommeliers" 😆

A big Asia tour, a dusty airport train, is Air Canada better than JAL?!
Also, secret restrooms and secret runways.

All this and more in a new episode — wherever you get your #podcasts

“In flying, we have to identify all the threats and make sure we don’t go anywhere near them,” he said. “In music, it’s the opposite: We have to get as close as we can to catastrophe.”

Lots of laughs on this one. Thanks to Vinod for the great travel stories.
Do you have a hairbrush? You need to take it out!

WHAT?!?

Since @papadimitriou.bsky.social can't know about that (heh), please help us solve that ORY airport security mystery!

Happy 2025 everyone.

Hadn’t seen him in a decade, his elegant gentleness, and smile, remained — along with some cherished shared memories in South America, Buenos Aires in particular.

Fuck cancer.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I’m Swiss (grew up there), Greek, and Finn. Lived in Asia, or Cyprus. I love London and the UK, where I’ve lived for 13 years — it’s the toughest place to stay fit, that requires some effort and discipline (age notwithstanding).

Love the show as always!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social glad to see you here!

Running Free is the song that got me into metal. And whilst I will love Bruce and Nicko forever (I grew up with them!), nothing, just nothing, can beat the youthful raw energy of Iron Maiden with Paul rocking, Clive metronoming.

Look at this

No comment. Shameful.

“Residents are being asked to join a voluntary ‘lockdown’ so that tourists have space to wander around … as 17,000 visitors from cruise ships are expected”
