Welcome to the Terminal 2W Airline Travel Channel. You’ll find airline trips, airplane spotting, the occasional railway trip, destinations around the world and discussions about airlines in particular.
I’m the son of a (former) very senior airline executive who worked for Braniff International. In the 1990’s, I became fascinated by the complexity of airlines and began studying them as a hobby.
In the 2000’s, I started an airline blog (Flying Colors) to write commentary on the airline industry. After about 1 million words written in that industry, I burned out and left the blog. It was the flurry of mergers post 2008 that really cooked me for writing on the industry.
Now, I want to share airline history, trivia and travel videos made while traveling for both work and pleasure. Welcome aboard.
