DLD 561: Unexpected Inquiries

Sometimes the best questions come from unexpected quarters. Plus, lifetime status of a different sort, some ultra premium silliness, and A380s flying even longer.

🚨Does Qantas really hate Melbourne? Or rather is Qantas really that Sydney centric?

See our latest analysis which shows they've become less Sydney-centric while Melbourne has felt the love thanks to Jetstar. Real story is how they've come to love Brisbane!

Looking to crowd source some new airplane adventures for 2026, especially ones that involve unusual aircraft.

Only requirement is that it has to be scheduled, more or less. Charters and scenics don’t count.

What’s out there, especially in North America?

Here’s a great little BTS video from KLM on the acceptance process of its Embaer E195-E2 aircraft, specifically celebrating the 25th delivered. The clash and ultimately bonding of Dutch and Brazilian cultures is a great detail.

DLD 560a: Melting Down

The US ATC situation is bad and getting worse. Plus another Starlink deal, Bahrain as a hub, and credit cards could cost you more.

DLD 559: Messy at the Border

Does Mexico City really need more than one airport? Plus, unexpected lounge operators, Connect again, and some lawsuit hijinks.

A key point I address in my latest newsletter is how the conversation on modernizing/upgrading Air Traffic Control has not changed in 60+ years. To prove that, I pulled headlines & excerpts from articles back to 1967. /1 colleenmondor.substack.com/p/34-we-need...

Many of you have likely noticed that we are experiencing a problem with Air Traffic Control in this county.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

British Airways to resume Airbus A380 service on London (LHR) to Dallas (DFW) route from May 21, 2026.

Qantas will also operate Sydney (SYD) to Dallas (DFW) with the A380. DFW will receive two concurrent A380 operators for the first time in 10 years.
