Lax To Bkk

[LALes]

Meant to say total flying time 21-30 hours. Still, that's way too much. China has them beat by at least 4 hours.

I fly many times with various carriers to Bangkok (price is a key for me). Going from LAX to BKK, I'd have to recommend any flight thats no more than 19-22ish hours of total trip time. There's always cheap flights with China Eastern and China Southern with stops in Shanghai or Beijing. These layovers are commonly no more than 2-3 hours. Lately ive been going this route, However If you can get a Korean Air flight with a stop in Seoul, Id strongly recommend it. Best Airport, very good airline/service

I can only speak for exit row seats on Cathay Pacific....And they let me plop my carryon in front of me, even though it was blocking the exit door (rest assured, I would have moved it in case of an emergency landing, if I wasn't sleeping).

All emergency "landings" aren't that forgiving. What if you were unconscious or had two broken arms from the impact?

Unconscionable for airline staff to allow you to do that.

the problem with LAX is that there are not enough flights

can anyone tell me why it costs a lot more to go from bKk to LAX than LAX to BKK. It seems all the deals are only from the

America end? I've been living in Thailand for 5 years and noticed the disparity the last few years. Usually, about $200 more

from the Asia end.

i think it has to do with thai people prefering to fly on thai more than farang.

if you like Korean; give Asiana a try. It is also Star Alliance. I'm coming on a free 65,000 mile frequent flyer ticket on Thai--cost me 91 USD.

EVA Air, Premium Economy Class. It's not bad service except for the 3 - 4 hour layover in Taiwan.
