Good airline traveler banter

Have been following Dans travels on YouTube for years and delighted to see you branching out into the podcast game! Hadn’t heard of Alex much but definitely remember him from a delivery flight from Toulouse on Dans channel.

Good banter and great to nerd it out on air travel!
