"This woman used the ADA (Americans with Disabilties Act) to browbeat the airline into letting her f...ing PET travel with her in the 1st class cabin" This is a prime example of the morass of political correctness at work, in which many areas of the western world are currently immersed. In tandem with the "sue happy legislative mentality" that exists in USA(sorry guys), no wonder that this type of shit occurs. .Compensation culture is sure to play a part here, as earlier described !... but I think an open First Class Round the World Ticket for a family of four might be pushing it a b

Hey Indiana, thanks very much for the two excellent web sites.Very interesting and informative. Richard

OK then.I was really talking about "newbie" with respect to the forum and how I really dipped out on my first trip,not having gained any knowledge, from the forum, about the place.I had gathered from your original post that you had been to LOS previously.Anyway perhaps meet up in FLB for drink or two and a chat.I'll be around for a month from Jan 24th.Counting the days

Hi Thai4me, Welcome to the forum from one newbie to another.I had'nt discovered this forum before coming on my first trip to LOS last January.Now I check it out out nearly every day to see what the latest news is. There is some pretty fascinating stuff to be found especially on Members Trip reports,which can give a first class insight of what Pattaya is all about, not to mention valuable information on accommodation,bars and where all the nicest ladies hang out.Trouble is I've found that Pattaya has just about taken over my life at the moment and like others I just live for

Hi Mandajay,I have a vested interest in this thread as I'm booked in The Residence Garden for a month next January. From what I have been able to ascertain from the hotel reviews(the most recent I could find being November 2006) and some general posts on this board.There is a 24 hour Supermarket directly opposite and there is also a laundry which is very reasonable.Dunno about any restaurants other than the Captain's Table on site,but I'm sure there are other BMs that can give some more up to date information.It would also be good if anyone can give any info on landmarks as to when to ring th

"Try asking a travel agent for a Y class ticket and see what happens." Thanks,I will, but my gut reaction is that they would consider this to be quite an unusual request ! The only time I have had a full economy ticket is when on corporate business and the company is paying, but for a long time now a lot of companies have been tightening their purse strings regarding the high price of a fully flexible economy ticket. OK, but what person in their right mind would pay the price for a full economy ticket ? Methinks nowadays it could be considered almost to be something of an "abstr

OK JJ fair point... I just consider Y class to be an "economy" fare and unfortunately that link is now not showing that particular fare(£458.66) but I'm sure all are aware of the dynamic nature of these online "bucket shops" and subsequent ever changing offers but the fare I quoted at the time of posting was displayed and available

"Y Class EVA ticket for £450? What are you thinking?" Hi jackjones, I'm thinking a direct return economy flight with eva air, for example leaving on 20th January 2008 and returning on 20th Feb 2008 @ £458.66.Check out the following url http://www.flydeals.co.uk/flights/results....p;flexibility=1

Hi Marleyboy, Yes I concur.I have a ticket booked with Eva Air for 23rd January 2008 LHR-BKK-LHR and I was quite surprised to see the aircraft listed as a 747-400.I had pushed the boat out a little this time though and had opted to try the "enhanced economy" option.However from the comments I read on this board vis a vis enhanced economy 777 versus 747 on EvaAir it would appear that the 747 option is the better of the two The West East fare at £454 seems to be reasonable but understand no airmiles and perhaps by now you have gone for it.It may be worth waiting a few week

I think the beautiful duo of Jib and Nan are still there but don't know about the others.Check out the following url for FLB staff pictures. http://www.flbbar.com/meetthestaff/indexhostesses.html. I think this is kept fairly up to date(last update was July this year). Both Jib and Nan feature in recent party pics on this board.I see no more pictures featuring Lek, but the lady who wears the teeth braces is back I think.I m sure there are more informed board members that can confirm my thoughts or otherwise
