133 ALA - Bundling the unbundling, Condor Brewdog, BER secret door, overhead bin booking, inaugural JetBlue, LH sneakers, with Alex Vukolova
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).

132 BLQ - Finnair hippos, IST hugeness, fast track lounge, Super NES passport, Midfield Tom Cruise run
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.
-
131 NRT - The Amazing Zipair Race from London to California to Tokyo to Osaka and back
It's a lot about Japan in this episode. And the two dings, the ominous two dings, they will make robots of flight attendants.
Customer Reviews
Love these guys!
This podcast is fantastic. Don’t mind that it runs a bit long sometimes, as it only drops once a month or so. Just lots of great aviation nerdery from two people who really know their stuff. Appreciate you!
The only podcast that an AV geek needs!
I have listened to The Layovers Podcast for years. As that young girl who just loved to go to the airport to be with the planes, I knew immediately when I listened to Paul and Alex that I had found like-minded folks! This podcast has been a source of fantastic resources and insights. Alex’s pandemic travel made me aware of the Plane Finder App, and that kept me hopeful when the skies were not as full of planes as the had previously been. The guests are amazing (especially my neighbor Hakan 😉) and I love the informal format of two good friends talking about their shared love of travel, aviation and adventures exploring new and familiar destinations. While I join other reviews in wishing for more episodes, I also love the wonderfully unexpected treat when I am notified that there is a new one. Thanks so much Paul and Alex, you guys are the BEST! Keep doing great things!!
Best Travel Podcast!
