Flying to Thailand from Los Angeles

[Bob Skerstonas]

There were once flights from LAX to BKK and from New Your to Bangkok.  Then the flights stopped and now from the west coast flying to Thailand is a challenge of 18 to 30 hours at best.   Does anyone reading this post see a possibility of airlines flying direct to Bangkok from Los Angeles with flight time under 16 hours?

 

Both the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350 XWB are perfectly suitable for direct LAX to BKK flights, offering efficient and comfortable long-distance travel while adhering to FAA safety regulations.

Thai Airlines had direct flights to the US on their old Airbus 340s, but they were gas guzzlers.
