Well dickhead,you obviously missed my point,so I'll type slowly and use small words this time. I didn't advocate child-free planes,I just posted an article. I traveled as a dependent and we were required to be seen and not heard.No meal-not a problem.Sit apart,no problem.Sit in smoking,no problem.I probably traveled more before I was 18 than you have in your entire life.So yes,I know the ropes. Now do you understand?

Actually,my father and both retired from airline careers at the same company.I have been flying free my entire life.When I travelled as a dependent for 18 years,I had to be on my best bahaviour.Yes,we were the ones wearing the coats and ties in coach.I guarantee I was better behaved than ANY kid on the flights I took. Any other ignorant statements,you ignorante egoísta pendejo?

I'll have one #84 please.

LONDON, April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- A survey by TripAdvisor®, the world's most popular and largest travel community, has revealed that 79% of Britons believe there should be child-free zones on planes. Whilst 88% of travellers without children would like to see the introduction of adults-only sections on flights, a surprising 71% of parents also agree. With 76% of families planning to take at least one holiday this year and thousands of travellers making preparations for Easter breaks, the survey of 509 Britons reveals the challenges that travelling with children can present. SCHOOL TERMS DON'T GET IN THE WAY Almost one in two Britons allows their child to miss school in order to take family holidays during term-time, reveals the survey. A staggering 49% of parents of school children confess they allow their offspring to be absent from classes for at least one day a year, in order to facilitate travel plans and secure the best value deals. Furthermore, 16% of parents allow their children to be absent from classes for seven days or more, whilst 8% are happy for them to miss five days of term and an equal number are comfortable to write off three days. HOLIDAY HEADACHES The most demanding aspect of family getaways lies in travelling to the destination, reveals the TripAdvisor survey. Almost one in five (19%) parents find that journeys with their offspring pose the biggest headache, whilst for a further 16%, finding activities that everyone enjoys is the greatest challenge. Keeping everyone entertained is the biggest hurdle for 13% of parents, whilst 12% find that staying on budget is a trial and 8% have difficulty in finding time to relax and unwind. A further 8% consider finding food which everyone likes to be the biggest holiday headache of all. "ARE WE THERE YET?"... With 20% of parents admitting they sometimes wish they could sit in a separate section of a plane from their offspring due to their misbehaviour, keeping children quiet on journeys can test even the most patient of souls. When it comes to avoiding the dreaded cry of, "Are we there yet?", the survey reveals that technology beats more traditional pastimes hands-down. Whilst 47% of parents turn to a TV or DVD player to entertain their offspring, 18% encourage their children to read books and 11% rely on the appeal of new toys. A further 3% resort to over-the-counter children's medicine, which surprisingly, constitutes a more popular solution than sweets (1%). DADS ARE CHALLENGING TRAVEL COMPANIONS, TOO Children are not the only challenging travel companions, reveals the survey! Whilst 54% of mothers maintain that their children and partner complain an equal amount on holiday, 51% believe that their partner and children are equally as difficult to please. Men also lag behind children when it comes to language skills. Over one in five mothers (22%) maintain that their children are the most likely to pick up local words or phrases on holiday, whilst just 17% believe their partner is the most natural linguist. Meanwhile, more than one in five mothers (22%) maintain their partner is the least willing to embrace the local cuisine on family holidays, whilst 60% find their children to be the fussiest eaters. "Family holidays can be far from stress-free and often draw more parallels to scenes from The Simpsons than The Waltons. However, they're also an unbeatable opportunity for spending quality time with your nearest and dearest," said Luke Fredberg, TripAdvisor. I was thinking more along the lines of child-free PLANES!

The 3 years I spent in Baggage Service were the worst years of my career.

Speaking from 32 years in the industry,the airline is responsible to deliver the bag to you in a reasonable amount of time.After 24 hours,you are eligible for interim expenses.Of course,whether the airline abides by these terms,that's another story.Until recently,those stipulations were included in your ticket jacket and are available on most airline websites.Or just call their toll free number.The IATA website used to include that info also. Many times airlines are aware that your baggage isn't on the same plane as you and will page you on arrival.The previous station will send a forwarding message containing that info and what the disposition is.You should also receive an overnight kit if your bag isn't schuduled to arrive in the next 12 hours. Keep all of your receipts as mentioned earlier as you will need to document expenses.We have paid for golf club rentals when clubs didn't arrive. .Just as a head's up,a bag isn't considered lost until 30 days.In the interim,it's just delayed.After 5 days,the airline should send the form to your address for compensation after 30 days.

I see far past my nose.

Yeah-he's going to supply 3 day's worth of Zithromax in case one of them comes in contact with you.

Wow,a NRA representative here.

I knew there was SOMETHING I liked about you-NZ! Did you install the live feed cameras in the ladies toilet as promised or will that happen when the new polcelain conveniences are installed? Smaller bar and new tables and fans are good ideas. "Executive Chef"? Huh?

"Insecure area"?

Thanks.I'll report back when I return on Monday evening on whatever bus it is.

http://www.airlinesafety.com/faq/faq9.htm Sadly,this is but the latest occurrance on many. Yes,my company sold 8 of their MD-11s to Fedex that were mothballed in the desert back in the fall of '04. Fedex is the largest operator,by far,of the MD-11.

Thanks for that.I'll have it sorted by Monday when I return from Phnom Penh and I'll post here.I have to agree with your assessment. Do you know which soi the yellow bus takes from Sukhumvit to Jomtien Beach Rd? I'm in view Talay 2.Just trying to decide where to "debus".

If you miss the last Bell bus at 1800,there is another bus that leaves at 1900. I received this msg from Bell today: I am afraid that your arrival is too late for our service. Our bus schedule from Suvarnabhumi airport to Pattaya is 8:00/10:00/12:00/14:00/16:00/18:00. However, there is a bus at 19:00 leaving from Airport Bus Terminal which you have to take Airport Shuttle Bus to the terminal and take the bus there. This bus is not a door-to-door service but there is a local transportation in front of Pattaya Bus Terminal to take you to your hotel. The fare is around 119 baht/person.

Obvious to MOST of us,2 reasons: 1)His mate recommended it 2)Save $$$$

LOL! WOW- big words from a n00b who's been here all of ONE day. Maybe it's best "you didn't talk at all".

Every country should have a 'Hull" consulate which gives those out like candy.Too bad they won't handle out of country requests!Hell,I'd make an effort to stop there if they did.

Air Asia has specials every month or so and for the same money,take a trip to Phnom Penh.Sure,you'll spend $25-30 for a room but you'll also see what PP has on offer.Sometimes it's more and sometimes less but usually close.I did one visa run at 6 a.m. with a "deluxe" van of hungover ex-pats-never again.I can think of better ways to spend 9 early morning hours As an aside,one of the trips I booked was BKK-Hat Yai for 620.10 baht including reserved seat.I also have a Macau trip booked for 1980b including reserved seats. They have great specials.

1st post-too funny. You may want to contact the admin before posting this advertisement here.

The "apartment" he's referring to is a closet at the PBG and the "fucking big pool" is the water that surrounds PBG on 3 sides!

SQL/server problem with above link. Here's a link that works: http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews...20090318?rpc=44 Twice daily to BKK-"the A380 will help support the Thai government's new tourism initiatives".LOL!

Gosh,I sure hope she isn't labeled a prostitute because she may be denied entry to many countries according to Tang (closet ICE agent)!Thanks for the laugh,Tang. Call her pappy. I see 4 you would qualify as BF'able.
