And finally,American has DC,Chicago & NYC to BKK for $447 Jan-May.

Air Canada has LAX-HKG for $327 Jan-Mar. Philly-HKG $381 and SEA-HKG $364.

You're welcome. My premium economy described above was just over 1k from Miami which is about as far from BKK as you can get in CONUS.

I guess I'm the eternal optimist in the later stages of life. I got a great deal on premium economy on all segments to help mitigate the 3 hours to Newark,the 13:45 to Narita and the 6:45 to BKK. Plus it gives me access to the lounges which will make the 4:30 and 2:00 connections in Narita more bearable. 8 months is a long time-so we'll see. Hopefully there is a vaccine by then and they inject us elderly early on.

I'm scheduled to leave on April 22 from Miami on UA & ANA.

I was scheduled for late March,2021,got overly optimistic and rebooked for Nov 3,2020 and now have rebooked for mid-April 2021. I can change back to an arrival this year if things change as I much prefer a visit sooner than later. It is a long haul from South Florida that requires an overnight stay on the US west coast and then a change in Tokyo.And it gets more difficult the closer I get to 70. Just 1 more visit, please.

I remember those shutters being closed once during an intense storm in 2011,but after just a few minutes, not a beat was missed.

If the Kingdom ever allows Americans to enter again, count me in. Many good memories there.

So great to see a TR! Thanks for sharing and taking the time to do it. Did you book the Rembrandt on their website?

Passengers between the airports. IIRC,just show a ticket but it's been a while.

Cable?

I was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia last week. On the left, even though I'm a righty. After diagnosis,no pain until late one evening I had a series of short pains that lasted until 3am. By the time they quit,I was unable to sleep from being too exited in the wrong way. But I fell asleep ~6am and haven't had an issue since. Now I'm careful about lifting or making any sudden moves while bending over. I've been retired for 15 years from an airline career where I lifted my share of baggage and boxes. Mind you, not all 32 years but I guess enough to matter. The doctor asked what my profession w

(I just posted this in another thread) Throwing in the towel for a visit this year. A few weeks ago,I was booked for March 30,2021. Then I felt foolishly optimistic enough to change to a Nov. 3 departure for a 2 week visit. Foolish me!!! So I bit the bullet today and changed to an April 22 departure for a 16 day visit. Hopefully by then there will be a vaccine-I can always hope, right? And that vaccine may mitigate some entry requirements along with a negative Covid test result if required or an antibodies result. I'll be 2 months short of 70 when I arrive.

I paid just under $1100 for my LAX-BKK premium economy on UA & ANA. Or I could switch to all ANA for same price but I wanted all 787s for my trip plus that cabin is only 3 rows on UA and 2 on ANA. UA has blocked seats but I don't see seats blocked on ANA.

I was referring to,"I doubt they will offer change, so you may find yourself buying superflous extras to avail it before expiry". Hence my reply of upgrading your cabin. As far as buying miles,I have no need but I do buy points from hotels when the the offer is at or near 100% bonus. As far as buying miles,UA is selling their loyalty program. "United to Put Up Frequent-Flier Program for $5 Billion Loan".

Or upgrading your cabin where previously that wasn't a consideration.

They receive billions in gov't subsidies. I don't see the government letting them fail.

Quite the birthday present! LOL https://www.thestatesman.com/world/thailand-extends-ban-international-flights-june-end-1502889676.html

I can guarantee that nothing similar to those is part of any breakfast in America. Possibly a child's breakfast though I don't even remember that. But then again,I've only had breakfast here for 69 years next week and my memory fades. I wonder who designated those as part of an "American breakfast"?

I need to give credit where credit is due. It was yorta2 who designated them "red dicks",which I find apropos. I still remember my 1st visit to Yurrup (Amsterdam) 40+ years ago and seeing cold cuts on buffet offer. I started looking around for a sub/hoagie roll to put them to use.

Those red dicks are to appease Brits who have hot dogs and the like for breakfast.?
