Jomtien Beach Condominium studio
bigdelta replied to bigdelta's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I like it and consider it a bargain.The building is quiet as I understand many owners live in BKK or elsewhere.Even the weekends are quiet.The large pool hasn't been busy since I got here.There's a gym across Jomtien 2nd Rd also.On the bottom floor many shops have most everything needed if you didn't want to leave the complex for any reason.Security is good both at the gate and in the building and maintenance is quck to respond.The beach is an easy 4 minute walk as is the baht bus which is 20b to Patts. Since I arrived late on the 18th,I suppose that I was under a certain level of elec usage -
Similar question from US traveller from US via TPE,changing carriers.He rang originating carrier to verify and they said yes.Always good to make a call and have the agent you speak with put a note in your record (PNR). Imagine having to visit Pook Bar in your flying clothes.

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) is allowing its turboprop operation, Firefly, to add 737-400s. Firefly operates a fleet of seven ATR 72-500s out of Subang Airport, but the move to jets means it must establish a second base at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), AirAsia’s base. The Malaysian authorities do not allow scheduled passenger airlines to serve Subang with jets. Some industry executives are concerned that a second base at KLIA will be costly to Firefly’s business and add complexity, because its staff will have to shuttle between airports. Firefly managing director, Eddy Leon

Asia’s low-cost carriers will be coming under more competitive pressure as full-service airlines move into the low-fare segment. In the move to capture market share, the new entrants are likely to spark a price war, leading to what some of the incumbent low-cost carriers predict will be a “blood bath” one or two years from now. Survival in the new market dynamics will depend on which low-cost carriers have the deepest pockets and commitment from stakeholders. However, the new entrants can claim to have strong financial backing thanks to some of the area’s large network carriers.

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, 'Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, But they only know to say one thing.' 'What do they say?' the priest asked. They say, 'Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?' 'That's obscene!' the priest exclaimed, Then he thought for a moment..... 'You know,' he said, 'I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible... Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Francis and Pete

Overseas Visitors to U.S. Start Paying $14 for Tourism Promotion
bigdelta replied to bigdelta's topic in Airline Discussion
It's certainly not as onerous as the $100 fee Chile charges to enter but at least it's good for the life of your passport. -
Visitors to the U.S. will today start paying a $14 fee to promote travel from overseas under a law sought by companies such as Marriott International Inc., Walt Disney Co., American Express Co. and Loews Corp. The fee, which may generate about $105 million a year, will pay for advertisements, trade-show participation and journalist visits “to convince travelers around the world that we want their business,” Jeff Freeman, executive vice president of the U.S. Travel Association, said in an interview. The tourism industry is betting the fees will help overcome a 2.4 million decline in o

Delta's new 747-400 economy seats featured on CBS
bigdelta replied to bigdelta's topic in Airline Discussion
Agreed.Many of us in the travel industry regard him as a buffoon. They are not wider.Only making the aisle more narrow could you widen the seats.Believe me,IF the seate were wider,any airline including mine would be all over touting it. -
Three strangers strike up a conversation in the passenger lounge in the Bozeman , Montana airport, while waiting for their respective flights.. One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer, another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East .. Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowboy

Oil Fire Suspected In Trent 1000 Failure-maybe they should just hang the RB211-524 on it and be done.RR got that right! New details of last month’s Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 uncontained failure are emerging that have impacted the Boeing 787 delivery schedule once more. Indicators point to a fault with the oil system which led to a fire developing inside the engine and damaged not just the engine, but also the infrastructure involved in the trial. The Aug. 2 incident on a ‘Package A’ configuration engine later prompted Boeing to push back first 787 deliveries to launch customer All N -
