The Death (and Rebirth) of the Hotel Lobby

🐱 Pilots Meowing + Fetty Wap References = Weird Air (01:25)It was a weird week in the air to say the least… Pilots were meowing, barking, and making Fetty Wap references to the ATCs. We run through all the latest news, if it qualifies as news, from the air in the past week.✈️ How Do You Count Flights? (12:58)Every trip is a flight but not every flight is a trip…or is it? We debate how you count the total number of flights you’ve been on and the difference between flights vs trips. According to Chantel, this is not a matter of opinion but a matter of facts. Do you agree?🛎️ The Death (and Rebirth) of the Hotel Lobby (21:50)What was once considered a path on the way to or from your room has since become a destination in and of itself. We dive into the history of the hotel lobby, how the boom of hotel chain expansion turned lobbies blah, and what they did to successfully reinstate themselves as a designated “third place” in today’s society.🛏️ We See Your SkyCouch and Raise You a SkyNest (43:49)Air New Zealand has done it again–they’re reinventing sleep in the sky! Long-time Taggies will remember when we covered their innovative SkyCouch, which has since been copied by United’s Relax Row, and now they’re bringing us bigger and better sleep options with their latest SkyNest. Set to debut later this year, SkyNest could completely change the way passengers rest while seated in economy.🚢 Tiny Voyage of the Week (53:46) Hosted on Acast.
