Thai Air LAX-BKK Nonstop RT $716 + Tax

[Zeus 56]

Thai's mid week(Mon-Wed) flights out of LAX Nonstop RT are now $716 +$377 (tax) = $1093.

 

It is still higher than others, but it is the best I have seen from Thai in awhile, and is worth eliminating a stopover. Good Arrival/departure times too!

 

 

It has me thinking of going for a quick visit again - the nonstops make the travel faster. No mileage accrual on their discount flights though :-(

 

All I need is my passport renewal to get back!

The flight out looks great for getting for some sleep.

 

 

If you make the trip please do a TR on it.

I have taken this route from LAX since it started two years ago

 

I prefer the stop over in Japan, and midnight arrival, which was the old route....

 

HOWEVER

this one rocks

- leave reasonable time

- board plane

- hang, read, eat, I stay awake as long as i can

- now it is 1 or 2 or even 3 am to me, i get a good nights sleep

- up again for a snack, maybe read or a movie

- arriving at Suwanabumi

 

make sure your hotel has early check in or must pay for night before

my BKK and PAts hotels both allow me a early check in

-SSS, i have already set up a few girls before i left USofA

- one of them usually shows by noon

- nooner, nap at the pool

- snack, another nap till 7 pm or so

- i am good to go for the duration

 

return trip

Must leave Pats by 3 pm

(i like to get there early to get my fav seat)

traditional for me to be shooting my last load as taxi waits :)

 

I can stay awake untill first meal

By then i am so tired i usuelly sleep the entire return trip

Arrive in Los Angeles 7:30 ish pm

Customs and home by 9-10ish

 

The jet lag on the return leg still kicks my ass

first night 2-3 hours of sleep

day's 2-5 back only 3-4 hours before i am up and awake

 

i take "no jet lag" tabs, dont drink alcohol, etc, but the still kicks my ass

well worth it

 

that is a great price but the restrictions dont work for me

- i want the miles

(i have enought for a free ticket now after not too many trips)

- also as a thai gold card Ff member, they perk you with , wait list advantage, luggage, lounge

and once a year freeby on your birthday

- also with a different ticket i can change any leg pretty much at the last minute

- because of work sometimes i have to postphone a day or two

-and because i am a Man Whore, i will try to sneak in an extra night or two:)

-the changes alone could cost a ton
