THAI's Sky-High Deal: 45 Dreamliners to Revamp Fleet
I'd rather have the stop and have a decent experience overall. I suspect many agree. Again, I don't get the importance of having a non-stop flight that long unless you are disabled or ill. Another negative for TG is they are part of Star Alliance and their membership scheme Royal Orchid Plus is rubbish as it offers few benefits compared to OneWorld etc. -

Children addicted to smartphones
With the exception of friends who live far, far away, it would be far better for them to be meeting in real life. They also really don't need to access their friends 24/7. Young kids need to spend time with their family as well. This connection also leaves them vulnerable to bullying and depression. -

THAI's Sky-High Deal: 45 Dreamliners to Revamp Fleet
And once upon a time, I was FL-class diamond-encrusted Rhodium with KLM before they climbed into bed with Air France. Now I've got a two-dozen points on ThaiVietjet that their website doesn't recognise, but good to know my Priority Pass allows me to rub shoulders with the more entitled at the satellite Miracle Lounge at BKK. -

Even the blinkered Trump and MAGA fans must smell a rat now?
Fact. Victor Reklaitis explains it quite succinctly; A year ago, he was serving time in prison. Today, Navarro is Trump's key adviser on the tariffs that have roiled markets. Two years ago, Peter Navarro wrote a 30-page policy paper titled "The Case for Fair Trade" that urged the next Republican president to take aim at "those countries that have relatively large trade deficits with the U.S. and apply relatively high tariffs." Navarro wrote that China, India, the European Union, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and Malaysia all belonged in this category and should be targeted with big levies. Navarro's plans for trade were the basis for half a chapter of Project 2025, the Republican policy guide published by the Heritage Foundation think tank. He wrote about "nonreciprocal tariffs," called for "the onshoring of a significant portion of production currently offshored by American multinational corporations" and warned of opposition from "hedge funds of Wall Street and tech entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley." The WSJ was more specific. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/peter-navarro-trump-tariffs-48dc0b74 Navarro's policies do not reflect Republican positions on trade, and Navarro was brought into the Trump collective by Jared Kushner. Trump didn't know who he was until Kushner introduced him in 2016. Marc Short, who had served in the first Trump administration and is now Chairman of the conservative interest group, Advancing American Freedom, had this to say, "It's not always the best idea to take somebody fresh out of jail and put them in charge of your trade policy, as Peter Navarro is right now," Trump's "liberation day" tariffs aren't truly "reciprocal," as initially promised. "It's branded well, but that's not really what this is" It matters because Navarro is an idealogue. His views are "theories" and do not reflect nor take into consideration market realities, consumer behavior and how businesses operate. Navarro has no business experience. He taught economics. That's why it matters. The operator of a small car repair shop has a better grasp of market realities than Navarro does. It is telling that you are enamored by former Democrat who's theories were rejected by the party and voters and is anathema to fiscal conservatives and market competition supporters. His theories were previously rejected and ridiculed and this is where he has gone to exact his revenge. You do know that Navarro tried to get elected as a Democrat representative back in 1990, don't you? He couldn't get elected when he rebranded as a Republican either.
