In this episode of On-Air, Dan and Alex dive into a packed week of aviation drama — from Spirit Airlines’ shocking fleet reduction and second 2025 bankruptcy filing, to Swiss’ exclusive A350 event that Dan wasn’t invited to (for obvious reasons). The duo debate self-tagging luggage and whether passengers are becoming unpaid airport staff, unpack the airline loyalty bubble in the U.S., and expose why Middle Eastern cabin crew aren’t as “underpaid” as many believe. Then, a Thai Airways decision about ex-Virgin Atlantic A330s sparks laughter as Thai rebrands “Upper Class” seats as Premium Economy Plus. They also dissect British Airways’ quietly launched new World Traveller Plus seat, Boeing’s delayed 777X timeline, and what they’d do differently if they ran EasyJet. Expect sharp aviation insights, global airline gossip, and more!
