10. No Frills Air Travel
Robert Carlyle backs his suitcase and heads back to the early days of budget air travel to see how it reshaped our world.
Here we are in 2022 navigating cancel culture, Brexit, identity politics, war in Europe.
How did we get here? Did we miss something? Robert Carlyle is here to show us that we did. That the world we live in was shaped by the forgotten decade: the 1990s.
From Hong Kong to Moscow, Cool Britannia to No Frills flights, we travel back in time to key moments in the '90s that reverberate today in unexpected ways.
Episode 10: No Frills Air Travel
Today Robert touches down on the first days of budget air travel in the mid 90s. The industry had just been deregulated and entrepreneurial disruptors were ready to radically reinvent the way we travel. No longer the preserve of the rich or a once the year treat, soon millions of us would be taking to the skies and life would never be the same again.
