Gottsy replied to Butch's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya

Thanks for that Butch I wasnt clued up on the various classes
-
Just checked an Eva flight from UK to BKK and its 30KG included baggage
-
Indeed so Butch. I only went Austrian as the Premium Economy was cheap compared to others and I fancied the extra leg room and more comfortable seat. Also I contected them 3 times about the connection in Vienna and told every time that there would be no problem. We live and learn

I read today that Indonesian has cancelled their back orders for 47, 737 max's.

If a decent smiley was added I would have considered it funny, but looking from some other posts on the same day from the same poster. it would seem he got out od bed on the wrong side. Ive solved the problem now though

Well you're the only one being pedantic dearie.

No sir, the hold up was that the flight Into Heathrow was over half an hour late. I questioned the departure gate specifically if there was going to be a problem in Vienna and was told there wouldnt be. The only reason I got on the flight was that the Vienna to Bankok flight was also late. If it had departed on time it would have departed 10 minutes before I arrived. I was trying to be sociable to the snowflake, on the basis that we would be sitting next to each other for 10 Hours+. But dont panic I will never sit next to you. I do have some standards.?
-
Dont panic ! You have 6 years to claim compo
-
Eh ?? Im Silver and having just booked only saw the baggage as 30Kh but I suspect its cos I bought it from an agent
-
Thats what my dear wife used to do. Unfortunately she died. I think Thai got pilloried for dropping the weight limit which was why they put it back up
-
It wasnt cheap. It was nigh on £200 more than the economy fare. I fell for Austrian's own publicity.about how good their Premium Economy was, and the responses they gave me by email.
-
When I checked for flights a few weeks back, the cheapest Thai fare on Skyscanner was showing only 20KG.allowance now Ive just bought the cheapest Thai fare for May (£470) and the baggage is back to 30 Kilos, not that I give a rats arse as I only take a one of those Pilots small suitcases. But for some the weight limit could have been a problem
-
Nahh the problem is Austrian and their scheduling, and the fact that they just dont care.

I went out to Bangkok in February. Thought I would treat myself so bought a Premium Economy ticket on Austrian. I was a bit concerned about the connecting time in Vienna but was assured it would be sufficient. Well Austrian and Vienna airport were the biggest shamble I have ever seen and I have flown a bit ! Firstly the plane from Vienna that was to turn to be my plane was late. I enquired about the connecting flight again but was told once again by the check in that it would be fine. It wasnt. The Heathrow to Vienna flight arrived into Vienna with 5 minutes before the scheduled flight to Bangkok. I was told by email that there would be people at the arrival gate to advise where to go. There wasnt. It was chaos. Now I'm pretty sprightly and had studied previous Bangkok flights so had a rough idea where to go, I found a staircase leading up so ran balls out up them. To be confronted by the most ridiculous pair of morons manning a security post. The girl on the X Ray machine hadnt a clue, she also looked like she hadnt washed for a month and her hair was that greasy I would suspect more than a month. 5 Tome the morns put me through their stupid Metal detector. eventualy they had me nearly strip before finally deciding to do a drugs test on my carry on bag. Finally letting me go I only just made it to the departure gate which was technically closed but I just flashed my boarding pass and walked past the zombie on the desk and onto the flight. 16 other passengers didnt make it and got dumped into a hotel for the night, then after spending 6 hours in Vienna they were shipped up to Frankfurt and out onto a Lufthansa flight to Bangkok .So after getting to my 'Premium Economy' seat, which is simply an old Business class seat. I found myself sitting next to what looked like a 25 year old female snowflake. IN the entire 10 hour flight she spoke only one word when, friendly chap that I am, I asked her if her trip was for Business or Pleasure. She replied with her one word "Business" and that was that. Now one of the reasons I wanted premium Economy was for the better food. WRONG. I chose the chicken. What turned up was a lump of meat, overcooked inedible and hard as iron. Next to it was a sea of mushy peas, or a better description would be a Mushy PEA with a lot of water. There was also 2 lonely what looked like tinned potatoes. It was disgusting. The breakfast was even worse. I couldnt even stomach the idea of returning on that airline and bought myself an Eva Air flight, Good seat and good food. Now my friend was due to follow me to Bangkok on Austrian the following day. True to form his flight from Heathrow to Vienna was late and as he arrived he watched the Bangkok flight taking off. He was sent to a Hotel for the night and told the same story as the earlier passengers that he would be sent to Frankfurt then on to Bangkok. He refused and demanded a refund and a flight back to London. Then magically, they found a Thai flight the next day from Vienna. He is now currently chasing them for the 600 Euro's he is entitled to. He said the staff at Vienna Airport were rude and surly even though he was the one being dumped upon Dont fly Austrian !!!!
-
I see Thai have very quickly put their baggage allowance back up to 30KG from the 20KG they dropped to?
-
Indeed it would. Unfortunately most stuff including hundreds of pics and negatives of my wedding, family and kids all went up in flames when the Thatched roof of my house caught fire and burned the place down (thanks to a neighbour who's chimney caught fire and blew sparks onto my roof)

What to do if your Luggage doesn't arrive in BKK
Gottsy replied to Butch's topic in Airline Discussion
Its worth noting that if your luggage is lost for over 24 hours and you have collected all the paperwork then you are entitled (AFAIK) to buy up to £100 of essential clothes and get the airline to pay. It happened to me in 1982 and I got all my money back for clothes and another pair of shoes. -
What about a new runways southeast into Itchen Park> As I live in Wiltshire is appeals to me and narks me I have to go to Gatport airwick or Heathrow
-
