Episode 146 - Unplugged

Aired on September 12, 2022

We're semi-unplugged this week with Doug taping with his cellphone from a layover hotel room. Forgive us for too much realness on this MacGyver'ed episode. Drew gives an update on private pilot training and Doug is back from a 2nd LHR trip.

We discuss what rights you have when your flight cancels. Surprise, you will get less from ULCC's (ultra low cost carriers). The DOT hss created a dashboard to help you fund the answers at:
