154 LGA - United fairly tale, Qatar-ish premium economy, SeatGuru farewell, Hanoi underground tension, ORD forever taxiing

About this episode

The hosts discuss their recent travel experiences, including a flight with Qatar Airways and challenges faced at Hanoi airport.

Alex finally boards a Qatar Airways flight, and finds how to get a premium economy seat in this airline that doesn't have premium economy (not through that ethernet port though). Paul completely changes his mind about United, a true Christmas miracle (and a possible playbook for BA), what an incredible crew. Farewell to SeatGuru, nothing truly replaces you (AeroLOPA is the nearest). When your boarding pass gets denied at Hanoi airport, and you unwillingly discover the bowels of Hanoi airport (a gripping tale by Alex!). And more. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all. See you in 2026! _____ A show created and hosted by Paul Papadimitriou: Instagram - LinkedIn The show is on Instagram - Facebook - Bluesky - more links on the website Video and audio on Apple Podcasts , Spotify , YouTube and anywhere you listen to your podcasts.
