Yes I agree you need to know your airlines and seat pitch of any you're contemplating

Its always going to be personal choice I think. For myself who likes flying and suffers no real jet lag or aches and pains I'd always choose economy. I could easily afford PE but just couldnt really justify it even at £400 more. You're only landing 10 metres in front of all the riff raff behind ?? Fair play to those who want to pay or for Biz

Am not sure whats occuring in this locked down weekend period. Dollar/Baht and Sterling/Baht is wildly fluctuating up and down and it shouldnt be moving at all on Interbank Have just seen Sterling at 37.40 which is wildly wrong and then some so fill your boots lol

Certainly but that works both ways. The underlying grey markets might substantionally move up within a weekend period (imagine for example a brexit deal announced over a weekend) but equally likely and in fact even more so some negative news over the weekend will spike Sterling/Dollar (for example) sharply lower on open .If they've been exchanging money all weekend at 50 satang higher than interbank opens on Monday morning you can see the problem but obviously works both ways You can always see where TT is in relation to Interbank because on "live" updates that we see on most of the window shots Sterling will be around 21 Satang lower (ish). Bear in mind though markets can move quickly in the interim so only a guideline On that basis Interbank closed at 37.31 last night (Baht gained a LOT of strength against Dollar late yesterday) so on a weekday you'd expect it around 37.10 at TT exchanges....need to have someone on the ground to show rates today to see how it fairs in comparison. We have seen some pretty big errors recently from TT on weekends where they have had it higher than interbank though Dollar/Baht ended week at 30.40 interbank a savage increase in value for the Baht unfortunately

Yep fair enough.

Where the hell did they get that Sterling rate from.....even though Sterlings edged back it should be at least 37.55 at time of post....They are making a huge bundle if people are actually changing up

Blokes absolutely full of shit.....did you see him alongside the immaculate Macron this lunchtime. Dressed and looking like a tramp simply beyond embarassing

Not sure why (yet) but Sterling has shot up against the Dollar today...Interbank currently 37.81

Boris wont have an opportunity to deliver Brexit in the first place. He's history on or around 3rd September thats utterly clear in a no confidence vote that Corbyn is laying at first opportunity. 34 Tories have already indicated they'll vote against their own party to avoid a disastrous no deal outcome.... In my opinion Ken Clarke would be a good temporary leader of the house whilst the GE is called but protocol says leader of the opposition gets the gig should votes stack up.

Only my opinion but its clear to me Boris is just paying lip service to Merkel yesterday and Macron later today purely to claim at a later date the EU sabotaged his efforts to leave with a deal. The blokes an utter clown and the likes of Merkel/Macron know it only to well Couple weeks and he's history on the day parliament returns from recess

Oman are using 787 on both sectors from Heathrow which are shit on seat pitch but I think one of the Manchester sectors (the first) is on their much more spacious 330s. They're also packed every flight these days being the cheapest of the ME carriers 95% of the time

Yep any weakening of the Baht against the Dollar is great news for all other currencies Just looking at the moment Sterling well up against the Euro as well as the USD

Yes up again today as well. Sterling rising against the Dollar for now the reason. Almost certainly (in fact 99%) because Tories now coming out and openly saying they'll vote against their own party to get rid of a no deal exit in a confidence vote.....if that chatter rises Sterling will continue north

Yes he is I believe. If you ever want to know what new routes are opening or aircraft switches follow what he says......let me know the exact details of the £250 Slywards purchase.....am organising the Mossad as we speak ??

Just a heads up on @Brown1950 he's one of the most knowledgeable airline posters around and has been on all forums for a long time. Calling him a troll was pretty off to say the least. He may recall and its going back I'd say 16/17 years ish that he bought 20,000 miles off me for Skywards Emirates for £100 !! Time marches on lol...those days of transferring airmiles seem to be long gone I see on Thaivisa there is a thread today over Thai air continuing massive losses due to turn down in visitors. Wont put the link as not sure of forum policy but its going great guns not surprisingly

Will be a little higher Butch now albeit little consolation. Sterlings up 0.5% currently on the day.....looks to be around 37.07 at TT at time of post

Boris outright lying claiming he wants an orderly Brexit (but doing absolutely nothing in obtaining it) but come high water will walk us over a cliff with no deal is starting to hit home on financial markets......any success in ruling out no deal by Corbyns mob will however see Sterling rise quite quickly again. Probably 35.8 as you say is a fair shout

36.91 at TT exchanges at time of post

Dear oh dear. Revolut is a bank expanding at a huge rate and of course uses an app as well as traditional website. Revolut is officially a bank after securing European banking licence. Feisty fintech start-up is living up to its reputation as the Amazon of banking. Revolut has been granted an official European banking licence and has revealed plans to provide full current accounts.13 Dec 2018 I didnt tell YOU to hold Sterling or the Baht I simply told you that Revolut consider the Baht an illiquid currency. Thats their choice not yours or mine.....

BR67 cancelled today I think Typhoon in Taiwan the reason on original sector. Hotels for BR68 tonight unless they can get them on alternative carriers

Monday and Tuesday it seems https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49212984

Gone past it now but will still go to avoid colder winter weather. Avoid Girls completely at these rates simply all fun gone out of it

What are you on about British app ?? Sterling more illiquid than Thai Baht ?? Dont give up your day job !

37.09 at TT time of post

36.38 Jacko agreed this is simply trip ending (or not even starting) rates and this obession with no deal could well push it lower Am wondering what the cartel rate is at Suvarnabhumbi currently. Must be 34 something now
