  1. Planes, Prayers, Squeezing Loyalty & Flying The Stripes!

    -6 J

    Planes, Prayers, Squeezing Loyalty & Flying The Stripes!

    It’s already the middle of February! And in this episode of THE SKY LOUNGE podcast, Alex & David talked about a relatively small and unknown airline starting with the letter B! The airline “B” has a very unique product that not many other airlines can lay claim to! But do you need to say a prayer before you take that flight with them? We discussed the evolution of loyalty programs, airline & product transformation and buzzwords! Oh! We also touched on “flying the stripes” If you are looking for a podcast with a fun & relaxing but informative take on the aviation industry, THE SKY LOUNGE podcast is the one for you! LINKS We also spoke about the LADIES BEYOND FLYING group on LinkedIn! A very passionate group committed to making a change in aviation! Do follow them!

  2. Ryanair’s 2-Drink Limit, IKEA Air & A Mystery Airline That Starts with A

    27 JANV.

    Ryanair’s 2-Drink Limit, IKEA Air & A Mystery Airline That Starts with A

    Happy New Year! Yes, we know that it is almost the end of January 2025 but is a good reminder how quickly the new year tends to come and go! In our very first episode of 2025, Alex & self-have tried a slightly different format, where we take some of our LINKEDIN posts and talk a little bit more about them. Alex’s posts tend to be more practical & product focused; Mine tend to be more wishy-washy furtury 😉! We talked about Ryanair & their liquid wishlist limits of 2 on the ground; What If IKEA had an airline? How airlines number their flights; when all you need is your face to travel; Front of the plane or do you prefer the back?  And we have a very interesting discussion on an airline very close to Alex’s heart, starting with A (Suspense)!

  5. Airlines Business Models Are Changing!

    13/08/2024

    Airlines Business Models Are Changing!

    Change seems to be the mantra for aviation over the last few months! From low cost airlines adding business class & wide-body aircraft, to legacy carriers looking at ways to make more money, there is a lot happening in the industry. What's in an airline business model anyway - the new model is "The What Works Model". And to add a little drama to all these changes, add in technology meltdowns! But one thing remains constant - Aviation Geeks! No guest on this episode! Just Alex & David have a chat about all things aviation! Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.

  6. Airline Loyalty, Status & Royalty!

    07/06/2024

    Airline Loyalty, Status & Royalty!

    Don’t you feel like royalty with that airline loyalty card! Lounge access, priority boarding, extra baggage allowance, free seat assignments, and a whole bunch of other nice to have “status” benefits! This episode of Sky Lounge features Mark Ross-Smith, Loyalty guru  & CEO of Loyalty Status Co., the creator of StatusMatch! Like Mark said in a post “We all intuitively know that loyalty status is the most sought-after, most highly prized thing any aspiring traveller can earn.” – we covered a lot of ground talking about the psychology of loyalty, status, status matches & how airlines are adapting to a changed world! You could be a free agent like Alex, who prefers trying out different airline products or you could be like David stuck to one airline but worried about a status downgrade – but no matter what sort of traveller you are, this is a must listen-to episode! Hope you enjoy it!  And don’t forget to have a look at Mark’s LinkedIn profile & Loyalty Status Co https://www.linkedin.com/in/markrosssmith/ https://www.loyaltystatus.com/ https://statusmatch.com/ Hosted on Acast.

  7. Travel & Fitness - An Unlikely Pair

    21/05/2024

    Travel & Fitness - An Unlikely Pair

    Travel and fitness might seem like an unlikely pair. Think about all the trips filled with flights, time zones, different hotels, and busy days where fitness was the last thing on your mind. And consider the hard-working aviation professionals, both on the ground and in the air, working long and odd hours—fitness often takes a back seat after such hectic schedules. Today, it's just me, David, here without Alex. I'm joined by a very special guest, my son, Dr. Nihal Studden, a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Nihal will share some simple, easy-to-implement fitness tips for travelers, aviation professionals, and everyone in between! We hope you enjoy and benefit from the discussion! Hosted on Acast.

  8. India is Skifting!

    22/04/2024

    India is Skifting!

    Rafat Ali, the CEO & Founder of SKIFT, the leading news source for travel executives, had a wide-ranging discussion with Alexandra & self on India!  Skift (verb) - origin: Nordic languages - meaning: Shift; transformation.   We could definitely say that India is Skifting, transforming in so many ways, specially when it come to travel.   We touched on the "small" Indian weddings, love for mangoes, "juggad" when it comes to sustainability! Home to perhaps the world's largest airline in the not too distant future. And what happens when Mum comes to your conference for the very first time! Hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
