Episode 137 - Frontier 1.0 and Leisure Suits

Aired on July 11, 2022

Matt joins us for the third time and is now an official co-host! His love for aviation started as a nonrev flying on his dad’s benefits on the original Frontier. He then went from ramper, to operations agent, to zone controller, to customer service supervisor, and finally to travel agent. He regales us with stories from when suits were required for employees. We also discuss:

• Travel chaos from Sydney to Amsterdam as airlines cope with heavy traffic

• SAS files for bankruptcy

• Singapore Airlines North America service tops pre-Covid

• TWA Museum in Kansas City

We end the episode quizzing Matt on weird reservations terms. Ever heard of an open jaw ticket, skiplagging, and married segments? It’s all in this fun filled episode
