Dan is recovering from a mysterious illness that sent him spiraling through AI diagnoses, hospital visits, and an emergency hotel stay, while Alex shares hard-won food safety lessons from decades of globe-trotting. Then the conversation shifts to airline catering: how it works, why it sometimes fails, and the current crisis at American Airlines forcing double catering out of Heathrow. The episode also covers Dan's emotional farewell to the Airbus A340-600, including the shocking discovery that the exact aircraft he flew as a child was later destroyed by a missile strike in Iran. Plus: Somalia's viral new airline Rayan Air operating a 36-year-old Fokker 50, Africa's smart legislation forcing better aircraft on their routes, airline consolidation targets in Europe, Emirates equipment swaps amid post-war schedule uncertainty, and a hypothetical Alaska/Hawaiian/JetBlue merger that could reshape US aviation.
