Description

Today’s travel podcast. Why do people check in bags for a flight but then choose not to travel – and what happens next? I’m aboard a late-running British Airways Airbus A320 from Nuremberg in Germany to London Heathrow. Everything was going swimmingly until two passengers decided, at the last moment, not to travel. That triggered a sequence of events that ended up with us being almost an hour late. An annoying waste of time for everyone; extra fuel burn doing the planet no favours; and lots of stress and expense as a result of missed connections.This podcast is free, like my weekly newsletter.
