Really try reading again. "inbetween flights" and my distrust of somchai and his bike spanners and his mai pen rai attitude Full and Interim services are undertaken in Frankfurt Servicing intervals (unless serious defects) are known 12-15 months in advance

Why would anyone be using the public taxis from Suvarnabhumbi to Pattaya when Nams, Mr T's, Meows and other providers will wait at gate 3 for a 1000 baht to Pattaya no tolls added either I recall someone mentioning many years ago the airport taxis were charging 1500 to Pattaya I cant imagine hopping over barriers with luggage to save 200 baht on probably what will still be a higher fare to start with

This is where they are utterly shight. That maintenance session will have been known a year in advance at least yet they were openly selling seats with an A380 rostered on the sector its bang out of order. I will never ever fly them again (did twice) long time ago but would simply not trust somchai and his bike spanners on service issues between flights

Re Qantas Sydney London non stop....updated article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5551917/Qantas-reveals-plans-new-cargo-class-passengers-exercise-super-long-haul-flights.html

Agreed absolutely that was my first thought. It was on Business Traveller couple months ago will see if I can dig out the article

Qantas have approached Airbus and Boeing and asked them to build a jet that will do this hop in one leg by 2022

Bit bewildered by the hoohah over this flight seeing Qatar already have a longer sector in existance daily to New Zealand from Doha (not by much I agree)

Bizarre Evas economy on the Combi was 34" pitch and attracted plaudits from around the world and people saddened when they were laid off

ah ok I thought perhaps it was just one of those days but clearly not

Not on their 787 no but have on other carriers and they are not good either.

I flew on Qatar on their "premier" flight QR002 to Doha in summer of 2016. Evening departure 9.30pm (think its 8.30pm when its GMT) and it was on a A330 with the most appalling leg room and instrusive underseat entertainment boxes I have ever seen. Notwithstanding that we were parked on a remote stand and bussed to the terminal 2nd leg on A380 was fine same in reverse sectors

not sure anyone was implying that as such

Still 31" I would imagine

its showing 10 across in first image...agree at first glance it does look like 2 seats on the wings but its 3...look carefully and you can see in addition the images later ARE indeed 2-4-2 god alone knows what they are trying to display there

going 10 abreast on the 777's https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2018/03/05/british-airways-releases-images-ten-across-b777s/?utm_source=Business+Traveller+International+Newsletter&utm_campaign=1ff8f504f3-Your_weekly_business_travel_briefing+Mar+8+17&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0f9ce7ba66-1ff8f504f3-162953081

So you were flying internationally in turbo prop aircraft ?? Oman aviation started in 1993...read right hand side for precis. Try winding your fucking neck in next time

1979.....?? Not even in existance till 1993. Decent airline and new Muscat terminal opens in march https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oman_Air

I walked right beside this place Saturday night absolutely empty. Wont stay open much longer I would imagine

You may be right but as i said earlier in the thread cant think of one single reason in using UTP if you're pattaya bound

UTP is at best 15 minutes closer to pattaya then suvarnabhumbi. I cannot for the life of me think of one reason why it would be better for pattaya bound visitors. You'll find the taxi companies even charge higher than the usual 1000 baht swampy/pattaya

yes looked quality product as i walked by last year to cattle (which was very good i will add)

You're going way to long out of your way on this one.....total airtime must be horrific

I will try it from the link next time I book but rarely find booking websites cheaper than direct but happy to try again

lol "spotted bed bugs" Another attempted smear
