Cheap THAI Add-On for PI

[PenName 1]

For whatever it's worth, for those of us making our trips from the United States...

 

Okay, so THAI has this great new non-stop from New York (JFK) to Bangkok about to start making daily runs in a few weeks, and I was pricing it out when I remembered that I have been having a craving for a few days in AC, but not necessarily two or three weeks of PI. So, just for shits and giggles, I priced out the itinerary on THAI if it was JFK / MNL (via Bangkok) / BKK / JFK. That way, a few days of vairety could be enjoyed in AC without having to commit to an entire PI holiday (or an entire LOS one either, I suppose). Anyway, the ticket for just a JFK / BKK / JFK round-trip was $922US (pricing was for September / October 2005). To add the side trip to PI only brought the total fare to $1,047US.

 

I've noticed several posts of boardies wanting to try a different destination or bring some level of variety to their honorable pursuits, so for $125US extra, those on or near the east coast of the US can have and sample even more dishes at the vacation banquet. There may very well be only marginal differences if leaving from the US west coast or other parts of the world, but I didn't price those out.

 

As I say, just a heads-up for those that have been interested. I do think my own autumn travel plans are now coming fully into focus, though.
