I was under the impression it was 45 minutes. ?? I have been on a Qatar connection in Doha that was scheduled for 55 minutes back in 2006 -
Just messing around with Summer flights next year and that is some connection time on the outbound sectors lol

No deal Brexit and flights in and out of UK
Rawhide2 replied to Rawhide2's topic in Airline Discussion
The main news have missed out 98% of the really nasty stuff yesterday thats for sure. They did the minor issues bottom of the list like Passports Roaming charges International driving permits all at the bottom of the top 100 of any real concern but failed to mention apart from couple of minor snippets ones at the top such as Mark Carneys remarks of a no deal brexit removing 35% of the value of peoples homes in the uk Think some are really blind to whats happening here. WE ARE LEAVING at the end of March come what may no pun intended. Its not "project fear" a no deal scenario is probabl -
No deal Brexit and flights in and out of UK
Rawhide2 replied to Rawhide2's topic in Airline Discussion
You missed the bit about pilots having to be re licensed perhaps lol. I'm expecting a deal so its unlikely to happen but if we go no deal its exactly what will happen Lets wait until Thursday when the full ramifications will be known. Burying your head in the sand in the interim is exactly what many are doing If people think computers moving over to the year 2000 is on a par with brexit deal or no deal people need to give their heads a serious wobble -
Have been watching Skynews online and the ramifications for a no deal Brexit are staggering simply staggering and would almost certainly see all flights grounded on an international basis for Brits Pilots would have to be re-licensed from scratch and it cant be done in advance only once D Day has ended and we've left..Thats just one tiny part of it ! Apparently a Government release is being unveiled this Thursday. Would seem sensible to avoid booking flights next April at the moment

Rawhide2 replied to Butch's topic in Airline Discussion
No that was Thai from the 16th onwards out in January not any of the ME carriers. Crystal Travel, Travel Trolley and 2 others were within £4 -

Rawhide2 replied to Butch's topic in Airline Discussion
Must be early in month because second half of January is £496 dont quite see the advantage of going by Thais own website but if it gives piece of mind to some than fair enough -

I'll tell you how to get upgrades but you run the very real risk of ending up in the seat you picked yourself online lol Check in online and pick an inside seat neither aisle or window and again this only works on busy flights. Ensuring you're dressed nicely make sure you're one of the last to get to the final gate for final checking (obviously not too late) Now comes the bit that I can manage easily but some may not. With an open palms expression smiling nicely but somewhat quizzical you say to the gate crew with that quizzical look "can you just check that seat assignment I chos -
Is Breaking bad available to watch online anywhere if you havent got netflix or amazon ??

Couple of guys Ive spoke to since OP highly recommend it for the money if you're not overly fussy (which Im not) They both stay there semi permanantly 4 months at a time on monthly deals

Offering some pretty low monthly low season deals. Anyone stayed there am interested but knowing location is there a fair bit of traffic noise ??

Lot of people bailing on winter trips. Some seem to go through 10,000 a day with ease but no one can burn £250 daily continuously including hotel Euro and aussie dollar weak adding to the demise of visitors. Lowest "high" season on record coming up
-
TTs were 41.78 earlier albeit picked up slightly since then to 41.87 currently
-
Yes the Baht ended 19 Satang stronger against the Greenback from the start of the week to last nights close. That will exercebate Steling/Baht declining rate with both pairings double whammy in the wrong direction
-
Yes agreed every sim from every network obviously going back prior to smartphones has worked via dongles no problem as normal in Thailand
-
AIS True and DTAC all have similar plans for "always on" connections rather than unlimited at high speeds Think the one I use is 212 baht for a month. First 2gb of data at top speed and then speed throttled for rest of month but still plays youtube no problem If anyone wants it just let me know and will dig out short code
-
Yellow TT at time of post is 42.15 but Kasikorn traditionally the lowest will likely be in the 40.s at time of post

An Interesting thread..................
Rawhide2 replied to firth1974's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
I had some food in that rockhouse couple years ago it wasnt the best but like always you vote with your feet subsequently. Clearly the waitress thought it was poor and kept asking if it was ok. In the end I actually said no its that good and this fat geezer rounded on me clearly linked to the place jesus wept he went off on one. Never been in the place since and always empty when I walk past on Metro -
