Hey Manuthai, Big problem for me,I got to ticket counter at LAX and found out I needed a china visa even though I was just changing planes, wound up spending an extra day in LA getting visa. I think the rush visa cost $60 plus to photos acrosss the street $20,extra day car rental night in hotel etc etc. Next day plane left LAX 4 hours late missed connection to BKK they put me in a dump hotel near the airport didn't have internet I could'nt figure out how to use phone no one spoke english to help me had a hell of a time finding out when I was getting another flight. Due to no show Nana Hotel canceled my reservations Bumrungrad Hospital canceled my appointments etc. etc. In short I HATE THAT FUCKING AIRLINE.

Hi Manuthai,

I'm guessing you mean China Airlines(the Taiwan carrier),and that you're going from Manchester(UK).Well if this is the case i've flown with them many times and have never had any problems(i'm actually due to fly with them again next month from Manchester).You'll be flying from Manchester with KLM/AIR UK for the MAN-AMS(1 hr) leg of the flight,then pick up the China Airlines flight from Ams to BKK.A long haul of 11+ hrs but a good early time to arrive in Bangers around 7 am i think.I booked my flight through Trailfinders in Manchester,they seemed the most competitive at the time at £472(inc Taxes).Mind you at Xmas time prices do seem to go up quite a lot,so i'd book your flight asap if i were you.

The Druid.
