Thanks for the update. At 22 pounds I should be okay now that I have switched the roller bag for an Osprey pack. I suspect they might be a little more flexible for the higher price ticket.

Anyone have recent experience with Carhay Pacific regarding carryon limits? I am planning to go business class and their website shows 15 pounds for carryon limit. I don't know if they are strict about it or not,

I am going to try the Osprey Porter Duffel 46 to see if I can give up the wheels and still survive. I agree that 25 pounds would be too heavy to lug through large airports, but I am thinking that 10-15 pounds would be okay. The Osprey pack has connectors that allow you to use it as a shoulder carry bag. I'll let you know how it works out.

Are the "Happy" SIM cards still available in the arrival hall at Swampy airport?

Singapore is a great airline, just not as convenient from the west coast as EVA.

Yes. I think you may get a better rate if you change your currency to baht first, and then deposit it in a local bank. Not sure quite how much difference it makes though.

I have an older Nokia candy bar style phone I bought at Big C 4 years ago. Will it still work (with or without) a new SIM card, or am I better off just getting a new phone when I arrive?

I think as the price of P4P rises, the scene will change, as it has over the years in places like HKG, and Singers.

I would guess that perhaps you are on business, thus only the computer. Does seems to satisfy them?

How does one go about getting a CX Premium card? I was considering using CX or JAL for my next trip.

I assume that the "special" immigration line for first/business class is good for all carriers flying int Swampy ( not just Thai Air ).

Think I will stick to ios devices.

Does anyone know if Cathay Pacific is using the 77W exclusively, on it's LAX-HKG route. I think they still use the B744 on some of their international routes.

I had to admit I am looking forward to the premium economy on the CX LAX-HKG next year I think. Can't tolerate economy, and business class is too pricey for my budget.

I have flown both SQ and EVA recently from USA to Asia. Both were good. Can anyone review/recommend ANA from US to Asia. .

Yes, CX pretty much has a lock on Hong Kong as a stopover/hub for trips to LOS. I hope they keep the quality up, as I have read some rather poor reviews lately. I too am looking forward to premium economy, as biz class is really expensive.

If you log on to your bank, best to do it on your own machine and not a public one.

Have you considered either of the following: Page 10 Sea Me Spring I believe they are both located on soi 10.

Please let us know how the soi sea me looks to you. I think other BMs may be very interested.

Does anyone know if the CX LAX-HKG-BKK routes will offer premium economy class ?

Just curious what the interview consists of ? (type of questions)

Mine was already unchecked. Not sure why though.

Just when you think the coast is clear, a motorbike comes streaking toward you (seemingly out of nowhere)

Although, the last few times I've looked at the EVA Biz class fare (LAX-BKK) it was around $4k (maybe a little more). The SQ fare is around 7k+ (with a less direct connection from the West coast). I agree that SQ provides a complete step higher in a quality experience, and may very well be worth the money.
