Trade shows are back, and so are we. Greetings from Hamburg and the 2022 edition of the Aircraft Interiors Expo.

Change happens. But it gets way worse if the airline forgets to tell you.

Day two of a trip to Europe always brings along some jet lag challenges. But we're trying our best.

Some terribly dorky jokes get us started this week, but eventually we manage to transition to terribly dorky conversations about airplanes, so that's mostly a win.
