My EVA business class flight from BKK to san francisco is in a few days. It cost me just 75K miles. Thats the cheapest redemption I know of for any airline on that route. Costs me about 750 USD equivalent in miles earned from credit card points. I would call that quite generous.

Most of the definition seems to describe the MAGA cult exactly. Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition

Somehow, I don't remember that. And I don't remember Bush openly talking about staying for a third term as Trump is doing now.

Who cares? When you self insure, you don't buy insurance, but instead set aside cash of at least the same amount of the insurance policy maximum coverage. Certainly a winning strategy if you can comfortably afford to set aside that much cash.

I hope you are right, but I don't see the republican sheep in congress stopping him. It will take a real revolution of the people rising together to do it.

He will certainly try to stay beyond 2028. Probably by force of some sort. He will be ousted at that point.

Shhh....All GPS around the world uses signals from US satelites for free. Don't tell Trump that or he's gonna find a way to tax or block those signals outside the US.

Eventually. Maybe in a month or two when they had spare seats.

Thai is one of the airlines that during covid times cancelled flights, left people stranded, and then refused to issue refunds for the cancelled flights. I'm sure Thai would eventually rebook people, but who knows how many days later, and probably with no compensation.

It works fine in other many countries. In Singapore for example, they have an area with free wifi and giant QR codes you can scan that link you to the web page. It's common to see people who haven't completed the form doing it upon arrival. It's really no big deal. It's just the electronic version of the TM6, nothing more. Free wifi is already available airside in both bKK airports, probably all international airports in Thailand. I can't believe people are so concerned about it.

My guess too. Probably the water pump dying causing the noise and overheating and resulting in coolant overflowing. Take it to a competent mechanic. I doubt you can fix it yourself unless you can change a water pump.

EVA is a good airline, unlike Thai. They will certainly provide hotels and rebook everyone.

It's the exact same thing in many, many countries-- You usually can't fill these out until 2-3 days before departure. Don't you ever go anywhere besides Thailand? These things became quite common around the world since covid times.

Trump absolutely hates everyone and everything outside the USA, and that includes all expats. MAGA fans who post here....yes, he hates you too even though you worship him. If Trump thinks about expats, he will certainly try to find a way to screw them over like he does everyone he hates. Luckily for us though, we don't seem to be on his radar for now, and it looks like he's got a lot of other stuff to worry about with a possible stock market crash on the way.

It must have been some real Einsteins who advised him he should put tariffs on places where nobody but penguins live like the Heard and McDonald islands.
