I dont apologise to anyone because on the date I checked (see my post) the changeover time were horrendous. You can see the timings on my post and to be honest even looking at Skyscanner prices today most and I say most not all flights have horrendous changeover times. I stick with my original statement but you can continue arguing if it pleases you.

Check my OP I was remarking on dates in NOVEMBER THIS YEAR, not 2022 as you have quoted. Do keep up. You are using dates in 2022 I am checking dates in October November THIS year. By the Way I wont use Travel Trolley they shafted me once and wont do it again.

In all the cheap SIA flights I have checked its between 12 and 24 hours changeover, because everything depends on the timing of the Sin to BKK flight. Having just checked SIA on Skyscanner, there is not ONE cheap SIA flight with a changeover either way less than 17 hours. https://www.skyscanner.net/transport/flights/lond/bkkt/211005/211020/?adultsv2=1&airlines=SQ&cabinclass=economy&childrenv2=&inboundaltsenabled=false&outboundaltsenabled=false&preferdirects=false&preferflexible=false&rtn=1

Singapore Airlines UK to BKK. Before you all get excited? check the changeover timings?? Horrendous

And now the NIMBY's are appealing the decision to allow the extension to Southampton

Pretty much the same as me me mate. Hope the Baht is still low

Maybe these reports might convince you?? https://simpleflying.com/boeing-777x-certification-delays/ https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-777x-realistically-will-not-win-certification-approval-before-mid-2023-us-2021-06-27/ https://thepointsguy.co.uk/news/trouble-for-boeing-777x/ https://airlinegeeks.com/2021/06/27/boeing-777x-certification-delayed-to-2023-after-faa-notification/ https://onemileatatime.com/news/boeing-777x-certification-issues/ https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/28/business/boeing-777x-delays-faa.html

Is the FAA just trying to make up for its past cockups by being hardline or are they just doing their Job? whatever ,Boeing is in the shit again

That's so cool. back in the late 70s I suffered a badly torn retina after a car smash. I had an operation to try and repair the retina which Included putting something called a dissolving 'Boat' into my eye to hold the retina in place against the back of the eye. It was the most painful 2 months of recovery I have ever suffered and the operation didn't work. when I went back to the Hospital I asked them if they had taken the outboard off the boat before they shoved it into my eye!. The retina in my left eye has now slowly folded down and I lost the vision in it. But its incredible how ones brain makes up for the loss. To be hones I just dont realise I can only see out of one eye, except when trying to see something in 3D which just doesn't work with one eye.

I wouldnt worry about that, the way the new variants are appearing I doubt Thailand will open to anyone untill at least next year (if then)

Sorry I didn't realise you were incapable of thinking laterally.

Since the announcement of a possible extension to Southampton runway and also the purchase of Bournemouth airport who says he may increase flights, there has been a huge increase in advertised fares from Southampton to Bangkok, via Paris, Amsterdam, and Finland. Adding it all up its going to be cheaper (though longer) to fly from Southampton. I know there's some horrendous change times but that doesn't bother me that much as I read a lot. But pricewise and time from house time its going to be cheaper when I take into account Heathrow long term parking, fuel and driving time. To Southampton, for me, its only a short hop. I'm going out to Bangkok and New Zealand in October so will update then (if I'm still alive)

I thought Lufthansa was a hefty change of flight time in Frankfurt (dont mention the war)
