United Statesa year ago - Best Aviation podcast I know!
Been listening to these two for years now and working in the aviation industry, I consider their opinions as very honest and straightforward. I’m listening to a handful of aviation podcasts but non gets me hooked with every released episode like theirs does. They are still the absolute gold standard when it comes to aviation podcasts.

Germanya year ago - Why are you two so much fun to listent to?
I apologise if I’m writing you too many reviews, but you two are the most entertaining and enjoyable to listen to. The info and facts you give are just perfect and to the point and exactly what I have been experiencing in travel lately. From bad service in business class and overcrowded lounges. Keep it up and can’t wait to meet one of you again in person somewhere in this lovely world. Keep it up.

Update on 6/23: Just listened to the GVA episode where you asked how I do my RDU-HND travel.

While we are at it, my RDU-LHR trip usually connects through JFK on DL/VS although AA/BA does offer a nonstop RDU-LHR (My Diamond... more
