The Departure Lounge
Every great trip starts in the departure lounge – and that's exactly where we'll be each episode.
The Departure Lounge is a travel podcast hosted by Aaron, Gee and Allie. Each episode we pick a destination and dig into it properly – the highlights, the history, the things the guidebooks won't tell you, and the honest truth about whether it's actually worth visiting.
Along the way there's a booking challenge (can we find a great last-minute deal within budget?), a travel debate you didn't know you needed, and a deep dive into the darker side of wherever we're headed. Because every destination has a story – and some of them are a lot more interesting than the Instagram version.
Whether you're actively planning a trip or just dreaming about your next one, pull up a seat. The flight's about to board.
