Woohooo...dontcha just wish old Trumpy could undo past congressional approvals with a convoluted swipe of his Executive Order Sharpie?

Thanks Googled it. America's existentialist angst is almost as big as their notion of exceptionalism.

At the risk of appearing pedantic, is it something that's only for the purview of Americans that makes you speak of this so circuitously?

Steady on there Nigel, there's nothing to indicate that this chap was shouting at a police dog.

To paraphrase Obama, "Donations have consequences,"

Good to see you calmly sat and reasoned your response instead of a doing one of those long, meandering, stream-of-consciousness, infernal wittering type posts. Oh, wait...

That a serious question? In this age of advanced passenger notification? The system that American insecurity has forced on air travelers worldwide since before 9-11? Seriously?

Nah....Senator Tillis is many things, but he's not that.

Can you expand on this "Obama killing" premise, please? I don't want to do my own research and run the risk of falking down any right wing rabbit holes. Thanks.

Did "Q" told you to post this comment?

They offered really good fares when the service started, probably to get the seats filled. I haven't checked if they still do, but apart from lack of connectivity with LGW, I didn't like the times.

No issues with offering the obvious alternatives and I have availed myself of Qatar on a few personal trips post-covid. Their coach service is a good example of economical, no-frills travel when needs must but I'm not a big fan of their service or their hub airport. After cutting my teeth almost half a century ago in the middle east oil fields, I prefer to pass over them at around 30,000' these days.

Oh God!...not another glass perpetually half-empty post?

Yes it is. But you are the one banging on about ALL Thai apps being rubbish. Are you a tourist then?

No. But I have done marriage extensions and retirement extensions at two different immigration offices. Why do you ask?

Most Thai apps are in Thai for Thai people and work fine. Why are you so miserable?

Only for a traveler of a certain predisposition about anything Thai. Or the non-traveler beating their gums.

No. No they won't. But thanks for playing.

One minute before immigration in fact - they have already said there will be provision on arrival for those that didn't already complete it. Of course there is. Just like the auto gates that the usual Thai bashers ridiculed and said they would cause colossal backups have manned kiosks for those that missed the memo, or like me, have a dud chip in their passport. But bashers won't like that either.

So, no knowledge of their cabin crew minimum staffing levels. Thought so.

Since they were both abysmal, you have made my point. Thanks! Reminds me of that classic school report card comment, "Sets low goals and consistently fails to make them."

When did you last fly Thai and when did you last fly EVA?

That's Christmas for you. Anyway, since you seem to know these things, what's their minimum staffing numbers anyway and how many did they have on your flight?

All good info, thanks.

Oldest lad's birthday this month. Thinking on getting him a new iPhone as I think he has a 10 or 12 at the moment? Forgive me, but I am not familiar with the product line. I think a 15 may be good enough but is there any of the older ones that fans think are better than their successors? I'm in the UK next week and wondering if I buy one here, it will work OK in Thailand? I'm thinking they are truly universal and will have Thai language as an option? I don't think there will be any major cost saving, just convenient for me. BTW, those prices quoted earlier for the 16e seem to be lower than my current search.
