I keep hearing horror stories but it would be a cheap layover? No matter where I fly from, its 11-4 hours in the air, is there stuff to do near the airport for 7 hours?

I've never been to the airport there, but how much do you really save?  

 

For me, it has always been a change of planes in Japan, although I've also been through Seoul and Shanghai. 

Unfortunately, the non-stop flights between BKK and LAX or BKK and JFK were discontinued years ago.

Well, if you're trying t save $250 and that makes sense to you, why not? I've never flown on Philippine Airlines, though, so I can't comment on that angle. 

 

As for a seven hour layover?  A long time, but not too bad.  I've had much worse one time when I didn't have much choice.

Maybe bearable in Singapore.

But as almost all reviews mention: little to no AC! Hot and humid in the terminal.

Have fun.

Well thats all it takes to make a choice.

Pricewise in the same category: China Eastern go through Shanghai, huge though.

Layover 2:35.

Can't comment on the airline.

Ratings are average.

 

(had to edit some mixups)

Ill just do one of the korea air flights. They have a nice terminal hotel for a nap
