Layovers - Air Travel podcast Paul Papadimitriou

Another episode around the world, LAX, KEF, AKL, BNE, AUH, DOH, LHR, IST, PDX featuring the consummate aviation professional, and ever-friendly, Hakan, with everything you ever wanted to know about flight planning, the secret of Heathrow Terminal 1 (why it's still standing), and more.

The AvGeek Odyssey of Vinod, from ground crew, to flight attendant, to two Covid Olympics: an episode full of aviation and travel stories, and lots of laughs.

It's Alex and Paul this time, not Paul and Alex, for it's another Alex (you've met her in 133!). From Male, with an all business airline, to Abu Dhabi, who means business with its new airport, we fly all around and over-analyze details of airlines (is there an orange remnant on that 319?) and airports (when even signage isn't enough).

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"
