Our Editor's Take

Fun, friendly, and ready to travel—that's the point of the Non-Rev Lounge podcast. The show focuses on aviation and travel. "Non-Rev" in the title means travel done by airline members on their own. It's one of the perks of working for an airline. The "rev" means revenue.

Hosts Monique, Tyler, and Lara take to the airwaves after each week working for the airlines. Monique is a gate agent, Tyler is a ramp worker, and Lara is a flight attendant. Throughout the Non-Rev Lounge podcast, they discuss different aspects of their jobs. The podcast has the feel of friends who are airline employees sharing work stories. They discuss specific scenarios they encounter in their workday. For example, in one episode, Tyler tells a story about shipping 4,800 pounds of a distinct type of cargo.

They also talk about travel a lot. That goes for the travel involved in their jobs and when they're off on their own. The detailed discussion surrounding travel is both entertaining and informative. Special guests appear on the podcast often. Lizzie also works for an airline. She discusses the differences in traveling between England and Ireland. Broadway Tina is a flight attendant who loves trips involving New York and London so she can see the latest shows. Listeners will feel like they are in a fun airport staff lounge, getting insider views.

The travel tips provided throughout the general discussion are valuable pieces of information. Anyone interested in traveling can learn from the Non-Rev Lounge podcast. Monique, Tyler, and Lara also discuss using the travel benefits they receive from working for the airlines to plan trips. In one episode, Monique talks about her and her family planning a trip to New York. Other episodes feature other various trips. Fans of aviation and those in the industry may also enjoy this show.
