  1. lol buddy it was well reported that the world wasnt going to end. I cant think of a better way to say it lol What isn't being reported is what is going to change from March 29th in the event of a deal and god forbid a no deal which is increasingly likely again after yesterday. I've seen stuff (and the rest here can likewise with simple searches) of the reams of changes with both a deal and no deal outcome. Am not listing them here as was accused of being naive the last time I did. The naivety is from those with their heads in the sand I can actually see this going to a peoples vote on any deal and few weeks ago I wouldnt have dreamt of that scenario
  2. Andy Le Cap wrote "So I repeat my question.... Does any BM have a ticket for a flight leaving the UK after 29/03/2019? Last night I put in dates outboud 29/30th March to European and Thai destinations. It may purely have been a 1 off but a lot of the major carriers were missing (lot were still there) will repeat it tomorrow see if its repeated. Anyone who think this is project fear (across the board) should have been been promoting that pre referendum. A lot of people in the uk need to give their heads a serious wobble. Someone earlier compared it to the clock clicking over to the year 2000 frankly Id put that at 1/100 compared to what is going to happen over next 5 years
  3. I meant to put up these before apologies. The non stops. Thai was £484 hence I left it off
  4. Yep Sterling against the Dollar rising in the "hope" of a half decent Brexit deal
  5. Best Cathay Pacific in 1998 Worst Phuket Air around about 2006
  6. 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
  7. Just messing around with Summer flights next year and that is some connection time on the outbound sectors lol
  8. 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 probably 50/50 at this moment in time and the nightmare will begin if thats what happens Massive changes are coming if Theresa and her gang cant sort out a deal thats good for all of us. It could be 5 years minimum to sort the chaos and then some Like most others I want a deal because apart from anything else all of us here will see a bounce to Sterling
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Been a long time since Weateast were remotely competative. Stick your suggested dates up here ??
  14. 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 chose aisle at online check in yesterday but the guy in the queue here has just said he thinks that an inside seat" ??. "I certainly didnt choose that because I need to use the toilet frequently" ....and you shut up do not speak whatsover. !! They'll check what aisle seats are left (none) and make a decision at that point. Upgrade you or you sit in that seat you choose lol 50/50 I have found over the years but you gotta be smart, proper shoes etc etc. Try it lol works on any airline BUT you run that risk of sitting in the seat you choose yourself
  15. Is Breaking bad available to watch online anywhere if you havent got netflix or amazon ??
  16. I've highlighted one word. Have never seen or booked a fare from skyscanner (which powers travel supermarket as well) which doesnt include baggage. Never once on international flights london to bangkok Acknowledge you mention short haul european flights as well
  17. I use online agents never personally had a problem appreciate others may have
  18. 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
  19. Offering some pretty low monthly low season deals. Anyone stayed there am interested but knowing location is there a fair bit of traffic noise ??
  20. its lower than the figures above.at weekend at TT 41.65 now
  21. Reading a few articles yesterday over this. I didnt think the A350 had the range. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-qantas-results-airbus/qantas-eyes-larger-airbus-a350-jet-for-sydney-london-flights-ceo-idUSKCN1L80MC
  22. 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
  23. TTs were 41.78 earlier albeit picked up slightly since then to 41.87 currently
  24. 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
  25. Yes agreed every sim from every network obviously going back prior to smartphones has worked via dongles no problem as normal in Thailand
