Just points to remember. US citizen must by law enter and leave the US on US passport. Thai can fly to and enter Thailand on an expired passport. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/Advice-about-Possible-Loss-of-US-Nationality-Dual-Nationality/Dual-Nationality.html Already come up a few times this summer with friends and colleagues. So many dual national kids these days A lady didn’t bother to renew her Mexican/US daughters US passport and took her to Belize (no visa needed for Mexican) She was denied boarding trying to fly back to US.

You have to fly out of BKK to Japan "with a team" on a specific flight on a certain day. Whatever you do not overstay unless it is a "dire emergency". The immigration authorities in Japan you will be dealing with for the next some months or years take overstay seriously and will not be impressed with "overstay" stamps from any country. No matter how lightly Thailand deals with short overstays it is the unknown problems getting visas and entries to other countries that is the best reason not to blithely overstay in Thailand. You fool yourself if you think they don't care about your overstay history outside Japan. They can easily identify these marks of shame in your passport.

Qantas' Newest Boeing 787 Flies Over Antarctica Between Santiago & Sydney https://simpleflying.com/qantas-boeing-787-flies-over-antarctica/ https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/qantas-qf28-antarctica/

Due to high jet stream speeds some days ago the QF flight between Santiago and Sydney has to take an unusually southerly route over Antarctic coastline https://www.facebook.com/790518088/posts/pfbid0GNLopHgZSCLGoEumiiuoNBSZF6wheTRaQk2HDaToevrvaKVYrQJM2wjjZcrMDaSKl/?mibextid=cr9u03

I have heard various things about WISE real rates after fees, but have no problems using them For 20 Mil baht primary concern would be security over a small change

Best way? You initiate a WIRE TRANSFER from your Thai bank like any legitimate business would or and individual who has acquired their funds legally.

I did not say that at all. Macs stay at one of my homes Chromebook on the road for productivity and net surf The ASUS chromebook dropped of my crew bag on the tarmac other day totally unharmed If it had been destroyed no big loss. Around $250 US new. The one I had previously by SAMSUNG lasted several years but power supply failed suddenly. I had it humanely destroyred.

I don't go everyday but at Bic C I only line up behind Thais food shopping they appear to prefer use mobile apps and credit cards always a smooth transaction. I avoid the mong also. Usually in a Chang vest pfaffing about with the dirty notes from a bar and dropping small change sometimes appearing drunk. Likely to to protest suddenly they were overcharged! 「"arai na"?」　 Result queue even further delayed. Cash should be banned.

Trans women are women. Period

I saw the thing about the MAGA colony somewhere. The guy lived in Singapore in the oil business I met him at a friends house party. Russia is what they want not Singapore. First of all because of "freedom" there are a few things Singapore has that we absolutely cannot have starting with a national health care program, a housing policy, and sensible gun laws. Any the next thing to eliminate social security and medicare. I kept my comments to gas prices in Hawaii and why they go up immediately when oil price jumps but take forever to go down. Now I remember a guy told me Japan was the best but he could never live there because he could not "have a gun". I asked him if he lived in Japan would he need "a gun"?

I had a typical American right-winger tell me his perfect country. “Singapore” SMH

Not a "nice" one but actually a ridiculous video unnarrated of nothing but innuendo, based on an initial flaw. Or do you also think an azimuthal projection has something to do with a flat earth? It doesn't.

They are not not. It is social pressure. Mostly inside. My experience during covid was seeing when they go to the US they relaxed, like Saudi women doffing their abayas in Geneva Last month at AEON shopping in Narita it was 100 percent. Not one unmasked shopper except little kids. Almost every employed person in the public spaces anywhere is masked. Do not see how it ends.

To change terminals in Manila you can take a taxi instead of wait for the free bus which barely runs. Better than dealing with those scroungers they make BKK drivers look like Mr. Rogers My old commuter job actually even used to have some bus routes. Like people fly to NYC airports and the last leg was a bus to Allentown, when the got rid of the props. For cost reasons. With the delays you get home faster.

Official airline and third party websites will sell all kinds of ITINERARIES. Some are expensive some are cheap some involve long layovers, some are convenient, some are not. But it has nothing to do with a fictional so-called "flat earth" During covid people got burned actually for example getting routed thru countires they could not get a visa to enter. Example requiring a bus between Narita and Haneda airports in Tokyo. Perfectly fine if you are a resident of Japan or Japanese. If not denied boarding and likely no refund. I had to talk a friend out of one that simpley required terminal change at Narita airport. He wouldn't believe me.

No flights across the South Atlantic? Nonsense. JUL 10 01:49 ZULU time. I'm not surprised if"the Earth is flat"???? have to give you a grammar school geography lesson but do you perhaps mean the great Southern Ocean that encircles the globe all around the continent of Antarctica? There are very few flights to Antarctica other than the ones that bring people to bases. Airlines don't cross the Antarctic continent because there is no economic reason to do so and no suitable alternate airports for thousands of miles that can be used in emergencies. But you know all that.

I’m not rehashing the perspective rubbish wit you tonite. Nothing to do with any optical principle or limitation of human vision. The same geometry explains the line of limitation of VHF radios and magnetic heading changes whilst proceeding on flight plans. Time for some seafood then maybe later snatch. Bye for now.

Everything now is about alliances, code shares, and big hubs. I don't have the marketing data but one thing airlines really don't like to mount a flight less than 3 or 4 times a week because that put the air crews on free vacation sitting in hotels for days and not useable. They use their most valuable equipment/planes) and personnel as efficiently as possible. Mostly flights full with lots of business class passenger and cargo, codeshared with partners and pilots and flight attendant flying full schedules. What do you mean "flying to SE Asia first". I guess air Canada started YVR-BKK last year but there have been no-nonstop flights from North America to Thailand for years. Even if full it Thailand is a money loser because there is not enough business class or they can make more flying somewhere else. Why do you think I see "flatness"? I see the horizon. You call it a "curve". If it was flat why then from 3000 feet I can only see maximum about twenty miles and from 35,000 feet can see beacon lights on an island I 200 plus miles away. It is simple geometry. It is round dude. Do you really think an azimuthal projection is a flat earth map? One of my best friends does.

Wait till he turns blue next time.

I would actually rather have the experienced 35-45 year old than some young starfish but kids are NOT part of my life plan else would have taken care of that years ago.

First ask yourself again really. How many people per day fly between New Zealand and Peru? I really do not know. Say it is 10. How long do you think Air New Zealand or LATAM network planners will keep their jobs burning holes in the sky with near empty B787 or 777 when the equipment could be more profitably used on other routes? Carrying pallets of cut flowers one way. Do Peruvians like fresh lamb shanks and those little butter pats ? It is not impossible. It is about the same distance as LAX-Taipei Get on to great circle mapper. It is a great old site. Here is the nearest possible path between AKL- LIM using 240 minutes etops rules which is only allowed in polar regions and south Pacific as far as I know of. The dark zones are no fly areas where if plane lost an engine it would not be able to reach a suitable diversion airport even under perfect conditions. If you think azimuthal projections are actual "flat earth" maps then there is no great circle and don't bother. Also all the planes flying US to Australia are actually flying north past Canada and Alaska at first and all the windows must be magic tv screens because anyone could look out and see for themselves! http://www.gcmap.com

You are 42 Why date a Thai woman with kids ?

In what cases? Actually if Elon or another billionaire wants to fund the journey the great circle route is optimal but pilots and dispatchers also have to consider winds, weather, overflight permits, availability of alternate emergency landing airports, etc. Not as long as LAX-SIN sure can do it with a B787 A350, or maybe on of the new Gulfstreams
