For any boardies with recent experience of this place ..... I normally stay on Soi 16 but this place is doing 62 sq m rooms for 2,600 Baht a night which, for me, means it's worth a try this coming holiday weekend. A couple of quick questions though ..... Is it guest friendly? What is the internet charge per day/week? Do they have kettles or water boilers in the rooms?

Ask the audience?

Is that your final choice or would you like to phone a friend?

Which one? The American or Thai?

They use different aircraft on their long-haul (AirAsiaX) and short-haul services (AirAsia). The regional routes are fine (AirAsia), as are the KL-Stansted and KL-Abu Dhabi services (AirAsia X). I use them regularly to fly Had Yai-BKK and Alor Star-KL and find their punctuality to be pretty good.

There was a thread earlier that indicated that it was not guest friendly as it was being run by the Erawan Group (or a similar name). If they aren't guest friendly, you're going to have to ask them directly at some point to waive the joiner fee.

Yes. It's called a SWAG. Don't forget the credits.

If the thing flies as promised and if the testing goes without a hitch, I think you'll see a pice beyond what you said in a year's time. However, there are two ifs in there. If not, don't worry ....... there's always the Ryder Cup next year.

I wonder where they'll get twelve reindeer to pull the thing.

Surely not ..........

Shareholders Say Boeing Pumped Stock Price By Concealing Defects in 787 Dreamliner By A.E. YOUNG CHICAGO (CN) -Boeing inflated its share price by concealing a structural defect in its "eagerly awaited" 787 Dreamliner, misrepresenting the plane's test results and the company's ability to meet deadlines for the maiden flight and commercial delivery, shareholders say in a federal class action. When Boeing finally revealed the truth, its stock price dropped by 12 percent in two days, the class claims. The shareholders say Boeing had suffered scheduling problems and canceled orders, but issued a misleading press release to forestall more cancellations as orders for the competing Airbus A380 were growing. The class claims that Boeing concealed problems with the 787's design that would delay the maiden flight and delivery. It issued the allegedly misleading press release so it could "make a positive presentation concerning the test results for the 787 and the schedule for the first flight and delivery of the 787 at the Paris Air Show" in June 2008, where it would compete for orders with Airbus, according to the complaint. The press release had its desired effect, the class claims, and the price of Boeing common stock rose immediately by 2.4 percent, to close at $41.77. The stock price continued to rise as Boeing touted "steady progress" toward a maiden flight and completion of the intermediate "gauntlet phase" of testing, which simulates flight conditions and multiple systems failures. Boeing also claimed final assembly had begun on the first plane destined for delivery, and continued to veil the defect and its repercussions, the complaint alleges. When it suddenly, and belatedly, disclosed the defect and delays, and confessed prior knowledge of the problems, its "lack of timely candor" and lack of a revised schedule caused an immediate drop in its stock price, shareholders say. A key paragraph in the 27-page complaint states: "As the date for the maiden flight of the 787 approached, defendants made a series of misleading statements to the market concerning the results of the testing process for the 787 and Boeing's ability to meet the schedule for the first flight and the delivery of the 787. Defendants made these false and misleading statements in an effort to: (a) forestall further cancellations of orders for the 787, particularly as the orders for its competition, the A380, were gaining ground; ( conceal from the market the material fact, known to defendants, that the 787 had a structural problem in its design that would prevent the first flight of the 787 by June 30, 2009, and delivery in the first quarter of 2010; and © enable Boeing to make a positive presentation concerning the test results for the 787 and the schedule for the first flight and delivery of the 787 at the Paris Air Show, scheduled for June 15-18, 2009, at which Boeing hoped to receive additional orders for the 787 and beat out the showing made by Airbus for its A380." The class accuses Boeing and its executives W. James McNerney, Jr. and Scott E. Carson of securities violations. They seek class certification, compensatory damages and costs, and are represented by Marvin Miller.

I read about the DXB/BKK/HKG upgrade as well. I also believe that it is EK017/018 that is earmarked for the MAN A380 service. If both of those come to fruition it is exceptionally good news for the MAN guys (currently, I wouldn't set foot on one of their 777s). See the current schedules/connections ........

Oops. Anyway ....... Air Asia sticks the 1 there for you - just add your ten digits.

When you enter your contact details, it will show the character "1" in the telephone contact windows. Just add your telephone number, remembering to drop the first "0". The entry should look something like the one below, assuming a telephone number of 0123 456 7890

They won't have any relevant historical data to run a yield management system.

Where is that set in stone? Are you sure your not just doing a college project/assignment, or something?

Dave, Is that the "Rainbow" themed room?

Any examples?

It's not that bad - it's a through flight.

The JFK-SIN route is via Frankfurt. It's the EWR-SIN route that is non-stop.

Thai doesn't fly to New York.

I use Ratestogo.com. Always competitively priced and they only take their booking fee at the time of booking. Payment is direct to the hotel on departure. I've had problems in the past tracking refunds from Agoda.

Fucking typical for you, Mr Fiend. Always taking quotes out of context.

It's hardly a boutique hotel. If anything, the furnishings/decor in the living area could best be described as spartan.

Every single one of the items you mention has then to be accounted for and invoiced , stock takes done etc etc. More expense. OP, Do you have any pics, drawings, floor plans etc of the project (or concept), or is it a piece of schoolwork that you're undertaking?
