This week on Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G, we turn the tables and talk about what sends passengers’ blood pressure through the roof. From Newark’s massive ATC disruption and flight diversions to checked bags, seat changes, broken Wi-Fi, delays, and all the little things that can turn an ordinary trip into a stressful one, we look at air travel from the passenger’s side.
Shawn also shares stories from his first trip to Korea, including the food, culture, and a Korean-speaking flight attendant whose Korean was a little rusty.
Then we go Around the Globe with a dramatic turbulence video that shows exactly why we’re always telling you to keep your seatbelt fastened, followed by an incredible 101-year-old veteran performing “Taps” on a harmonica.
Another week of airline chaos, crew stories, travel lessons, and plenty of laughs with Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G.
