Alex gets lost at JFK T8, only to encounter crazy turbulences over the Atlantic (a future worsening trend). But how did he get there? Finally testing what Paul did in 2021, the Mint Studio — a hope for the future of long haul narrow bodies. Airfare prices are way up from 2019 (more than inflation!), is that temporary, or what prices will be, and should always have been (that's the opinion of AirAsia's founder), so, please, JetBlue, don't Norwegian it! When you call BA, you will get quoted different fees and taxes every time, just keep calling (but who calls in 2023??). Also, DO YOU KNOW WHAT AIRLINE YOU WORK FOR?Our proposal: play musical chairs in lounges and every five minutes, you have to get up and give somebody else your seat (just keep the ceiling intact, unlike in Paul's sound studio).

There's a lot to hate about flying, and one of the biggest complaints has always been fellow passengers – but the biggest complaint in this episode will be passengers from a competing airline. On this very special 50th episode, we'll be visiting America's most homicidal National Park, you'll learn the early forensic value of “carbonized smears of paint and metal”, and we'll see what happens to the body during and after cartoonish levels of impact violence. Mark my words, one day the Grand Canyon will be fenced to stop people from visiting the bottom unintentionally. No doubt, of all the sites we've visited together, this one is the most captivatingly beautiful and blood-thirsty. Celebrity guests include neolithic cavemen, early American adventurer John Powell, park enthusiast Ron Swanson, and that guy who downed a British Air flight with the power of his poop.

If you've flown on American Airlines recently, there's a chance your plane was fueled by a small amount of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Jill Blickstein, Vice President of Sustainability at American Airlines, joins the show to talk about the latest advancements in SAF, how the carrier leverages renewables to power its operations and fleet upgrades the airline has made to enhance its sustainability. We also chat about an AI-enabled system called 'Smart Gating' that conserves fuel and saves time for travelers.  American Airlines is undertaking numerous initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint. As Jill explains, many of those efforts come in places passengers might not notice, but certainly lead to more sustainable air travel.HighlightsUpdate on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) - (4:10)American Airlines' goals for SAF usage - (7:56)Using SAF to attract business travelers - (10:36)Creating a SAF certificate for all travelers - (14:22)The potential for zero-emission hydrogen-electric aircraft - (14:47)Partnering with the Bill Gates-backed Breakthrough Energy Catalyst - (17:24)Other sustainability initiatives at American Airlines - (19:10)'Smart Gating' - (23:47)Powering operations with renewable energy - (26:20)Validation from the Science-Based Targets initiative - (27:02)Sign up for the Renewable Energy SmartBriefFollow the show on Twitter @RenewablesPod

Air travel is torturous, I love drunkards on planes, is segregation by choice okay?, Golden nugget, banks are collapsing like a fat guy on a banquet chair.

Omar Alghabra, Transport Minister; Richard Madan, CTV News; Goldy Hyder, Business Council of Canada; Pedro Antunes, Conference Board of Canada; Brian Gallant, former N.B. premier; Kate Harrison, Summa Strategies; Tom Mulcair, CTV News Political Analyst; and Robert Benzie, the Toronto Star.

Leslie-Ann Seon chats with prolific aviation research and policy practitioner Ian Bertrand out of Trinidad and Tobago to discuss regional air travel: the challenges and opportunities. On this episode, the two candidly and critically examine regional air travel from a multisectoral lens: the role of governments, private sector, tourism bodies, and the Caribbean public. Our audience will enjoy this discussion as the pair dive deeply into the wide range of setbacks/issues that continue to curtail the ease and access of airlift in the region. One can expect to walk away with a better understanding and appreciation of why travel within the region is so expensive; and why this teething issue has not been solved or seen any reprieve in recent times. Solutions for a reliable truly connected travel framework is suggested in the hope of helping policymakers and stakeholders arrive at comprehensive and collaborative blueprint to shift the needle for regional air travel; once and for all.

How is it we had never actually done MAD as an episode title? This ends today, however the mad MADrid dash from T4S to T4 never does. Alex has lots to say about BA and it's …not great (he's not alone to think like this). Paul calls it, the better London airport is definitively Gatwick (stop being a wannabe posh by preferring LHR). Lufthansa introduces a grand new First Class, and a super complex Tetris business class with 14+ options (Swiss introduces the same, but in bordeaux). Will Dolomiti be folded into ITA (the ever growing Lufthansa Group realm of the European skies). Emirates is the Apple of airlines, you might not love them but they offer incredible consistency at massive scale, truly admirable (DXB could do with a bit of a refresh though). You know what, you can fly the 747-400 to Palma (BE QUICK, BEFORE THE 744 ERA ENDS).We mentioned (and promised to link) those two:The worst airport in the world (by Jo Ellison, in the FT, paywall possible, I'M SORRY, JO, FOR MISNAMING YOUR LAST NAME!!!!), andThe DISGRACEFUL State of British Airways (by Nonstop Dan, on YouTube).See you again for 127, and, in the meanwhile, please give us any feedback on Twitter or Instagram  (and Apple Podcasts if you're inclined to give us a nice review).

It's an unnatural activity that has become normal. You're stuck in a metal tube with hundreds of strangers (and strange smells), defying gravity and racing through the sky.  But oh, the places you'll go! We visit the world's busiest airport to see how it all comes together. (Part 1 of “Freakonomics Radio Takes to the Skies.”) 

Liz and Sarah are deep into the first draft of the pilot they're writing — and discovering all over again how hard it is to write a pilot. Creating something out of nothing is never easy! In Take A Hike, Liz talks about how she decided to set aside worry during her recent glamping trip. The result? She was fully present and had an amazing time.

The airport you think is overrated, the airport you like, the airport you love, the airport you feel yourself in, the airport you need to visit — play the airport game with us (and feel free to tweet us your answers!). The new Air France lounge at CDG T2F is beautiful, as can be CDG …when it works (you'll probably need to taxi on a country drive to get there haha). The new lounges at JFK T8, the new of BA in New York, feel like a success (and clever naming!). The end of the 747 production line triggers memories for the both of us (a crazy typhoon for Alex, a cramped Combi for Paul, a sense of place for both). A renewed joie de vivre by flying Air France (is Transavia the legitimate child of KLM though?). Flying the OG Norwegian, riding the good old Acela, and a French guillotine in the 777.

When satellites are 500 miles from their antennas, and aircraft are traveling at over 500 miles per hour, it is difficult to fathom ways to provide faster speeds and more reliable connectivity for passengers and crew. Listen to John Peterson, Iridium's Executive Director of Aviation, as he helps us understand new technologies in the aero market that make it possible. Hear Mr. Peterson discuss how these technologies can improve performance and end-user experience and overcome the challenging physics of in-flight connectivity.

Halacha requires reciting Birkat Ha'gomel after taking a flight of 72 minutes or longer. One might have thought that the requirement of Birkat Ha'gomel does not apply to a situation of air travel, since the Beracha was originally instituted to be recited after traveling through dangerous areas such as deserts, where one is exposed to thieves and animals. The Beracha was established to thank God for protecting us from these dangers, and not from accidents. The risks of animals and criminals do not arise when one flies in an airplane, and thus one might have assumed that Birkat Ha'gomel is not recited after a flight. However, the general consensus among the Halachic authorities is that we do not draw such a distinction, and that the Beracha should be recited after a flight of 72 minutes or longer. This is the ruling of Rav Moshe Feinstein (Russia-New York, 1895-1986), in his Iggerot Moshe (Orah Haim 59), and of Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in his Yabia Omer (vol. 1, Orah Haim 14).It makes no difference whether the flight was above the sea or dry land, or whether it was over an uninhabited wilderness or cities. In all cases, one recites Birkat Ha'gomel after landing in his destination.Hacham Ben Sion Abba Shaul (Israel, 1923-1998), in his responsa (vol. 2, 14:43), draws a distinction in this regard between commercial jets and private planes. In a commercial airliner, many passengers fly together, and they do not know one another, and there is thus the risk of being harmed by another person during travel. In cases of a chartered jet or helicopter, by contrast, or in an army jet, where all the travelers know one another or are members of the same unit or army, there is no such risk. Therefore, according to Hacham Ben Sion, one recites Birkat Ha'gomel after flying in a commercial jet, but not after flying in a private jet or after a soldier flies in an army jet or helicopter.Other authorities, however, including Hacham Ovadia Yosef, as well as Rav Shelomo Zalman Auerbach (Israel, 1910-1995) as cited in Halichot Shelomo (Hilchot Tefila, 23:5), do not draw this distinction. The accepted Halacha, then, as Rav Shemuel Pinhasi (contemporary) writes in his Kuntras Ve'chol Ha'haim (p. 34; listen to audio recording for precise citation), is that in any situation of a flight that lasted 72 or longer, one must recite Birkat Ha'gomel after landing.Summary: One recites Birkat Ha'gomel after traveling in an airplane for 72 minutes or longer, in all situations.

Aviation is responsible for over two percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, and for technological reasons it's one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize. But California – an early adopter of sustainable aviation fuel and home to 12 international airports – is positioned to guide the nation toward greener air travel, according to UC Berkeley climate and energy expert Ethan Elkind. As part of Forum's new series "In Transit," we'll talk about the hope and limitations of green aviation technology and how we can reduce our carbon footprint when we fly.

Return guest Richard Nason used the pandemic shutdown to achieve the dream of many a traveler- get his pilot license and buy his own plane.

Friend of the show, and very long time listener (since episode 1!), Hakan Yılmaz, aka @LAFlyr on Twitter, grew up wanting to go early at the airport to see the planes, and collect avgeek paraphernalia, and never stopped being a kid, by still going early to the airport to see the planes, and a career that led him to American Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Atlas, etc., with millions of miles under his belt, and tons of stories to share — from the admirable rise of Turkish Airlines (fascinating SAS story on the invention of the hub and spoke model), to the celebrity stories at Virgin (do you carry money when traveling but nothing else? Or lots of LV luggage instead? Reach out to us!), from over-complicating airline operations (which airline is it, do you reckon?) to the uncomplicated life as loyalty programs free agents (the three of us are becoming so, though it's a mental fight to let go), we geek out and rant and laugh, we get the in and outs of LAX (that's Hakan's pun), and thank you all for still listening to us in 2023.Follow Hakan on Twitter: @LAFlyr
