Two friends have flown out in the last 6 weeks, one with Thai and one with Ethihad. Both said the flights were very empty, they were both able to have 4 seats to themselves and stretch out to sleep,nice.. Although both said the flights back were relatively full.

The Peninsula Hotel is operating at 29%.

OUCH!

Things are not good.

Maybe all this cheating of tourists is finally having some effect?

They are just staying home.

between January and April

High season, sure an increase.

May, low season, sure an decrease greater than usual.

Flew in from Europe ten days ago. Wifey, myself and the rest of the passengers could choose whatever seating you wanted. Never seen it like this, not even the first months after the Tsunami.
