My grandfather is the chairman of the UKs advertisement regulator. Im going to ask him about the greenwashing when i see him in a couple of days

[@hokes823]

heathrow is actually not even that bad

[@DVW550]

Heathrow, when it works (95 percent of the time) is an easier and nicer experience than any major US airport I have flown through and a better customer experience than either Frankfurt or CdG. The Heathrow hate is totally out of proportion to the actual experience that frequent fliers through Heathrow have. I have had one issue with e-gates in the last 5 years.

This didn’t show up on Castbox yet but still managed to listen on here on my walk. Awesome episode! Dan, your videos helped me get over my fear of flying and now I am obsessed with aviation. Great job both of you!

[@LoganC1985]

Great bag analysis 😅😊

[@steven8hamilton]

Connecting at Heathrow is fine. I dont understand the issue.

[@skandavasuki-ue3pb]

Hot take but I think the A220 would be perfect for long haul transatlantic flights! If biz class passengers are okay without a lie flat seat there could be some real potential with Delta from Boston or Air Canada from Toronto and Montreal

[@cjohnson8126]

They could probably manage a lie flat seat considering ba had 2-2 lie flat seats on the a318

[@skandavasuki-ue3pb]

True but I don't know how the load factor would be tbh@@cjohnson8126

[@letsplayfreakde1273]

Why not have lie flats tho? Just think of the a321neo lr, just make it a small cabin and maybe even premium eco lol

[@aleksandarkaric7194]

I would like to say that FCO is the worst airport that I have been to. I spent nearly 2 hours in que on passport control when I arrived in Rome. On my flight back I spent about 1 and half hours at passport control because only one police officer worked there.

I don’t necessarily agree with Dan’s opinion on his brothers incident. The brother should’ve just told them that there are valuables in the bag and the airlines either lets you take those out or lets you take the bag along with you. It has happened to me on more than one ocassion. You just need to be more vocal with these people.

Love these video’s! Keep up the great videos ;)

[@danielmarcotorrente4437]

Nahhh, Heathrow isn't that bad

[@OlympicAirwaysAirlines]

these ground handlers are on comission with each bag put in the hold. dont let them do it. simple.

[@schattenmann825]

Why isn't the podcast on Spotify?

[@NonstopDan]
