Episode Description from the Publisher

This week on On-Air, Dan and Alex dedicate the full episode to listener Q&A, aviation news, and travel stories. It starts with real flight drama: a passenger caught vaping mid-flight to Riyadh, a chaotic hotel poolside incident, and a drunk passenger meltdown during EasyJet boarding. Then a family loyalty points disaster, after an aunt quietly burns through 300,000 shared airline miles.The Q&A covers major aviation topics: Concorde versus the A380, the most iconic airline liveries in history (including BA's retro World Tails and Qantas's Wunala Dreaming), and reactions to Starlux's bold new Sorayama-designed livery. Dan and Alex also debate whether Singapore Airlines' reputation still holds up in 2026, why airlines fly red-eyes and park aircraft on remote stands all day, SAS's record-breaking A330neo order, and whether India is poised for major aviation growth. They close with the UK CAA's warning on lithium battery risks onboard.New episodes every week.
