Layovers - Air Travel podcast Paul Papadimitriou

Paul and Paolo share almost the same name, almost the same birthday, nearly the same height, and a great friendship and love for air travel. We compare notes on Cambodia and Vietnam.

Alex flies to New York, meets the jet stream and an unbelievably bad customer representative. Paul flies to Dubai, tries the new Emirates plant-based signature dishes with a First upgrade that this podcast made possible.

"They looked around the region at all these great airports and gone: let's get the TK Maxx version of that"

Alex returns to Hong Kong, Paul discovers La Compagnie. So much travel, so little time to record!

At Layovers, we keep our promises: long time listener Alex Vukolova waited 5 years to be a guest, and this is the day, she's been awesome, for a very special show — we travel on Condor, JetBlue, Transavia, or BA, from Berlin to Almaty to New York to Tokyo and then some, and we geek out on aviation, from a rant about the bundling of the unbundling, to an admiration for Air Astana (not really for the current Almaty airport).

We visit Bologna, Istanbul, Bari, Birmingham, Brindisi, we are in a Mission Impossible movie, and we're running like Tom Cruise over the new Midfield Terminal in Abu Dhabi.
