Airlines for Bkk to Las (Las Vegas)

[jimmym40]

Anyone make a trip back to the USA lately? I'm looking for Business Class tix. I want to leave mid Sep for 21 days and I checked the prices today and they are much, much higher than when I checked 4-5 months ago. I usually go with United, but Delta seems to have better pricing, but I don't know what the Bus Class seating is like or food or the service is on Delta.

Any feedback would be appreciated on any airline flown recently.

Thanks All.

I often fly Delta biz class to PDX (Portland) or LAX, occasionally JFK. Going to Vegas, you will likely need a short domestic flight from a left coast city (SEA, PDX, SFO or LAX).

Delta from BKK to NRT is on a 747, biz class is very nice lie-flat seats (pods, really, with massive AVOD screens), especially great getting the nose section if travelling as a couple. The section to LAX is also a 747, but I think the others are often 767, which is new, flat seats, but not quite as nice. Overall, delta is quite ok, and BKK to PDX or LAX in 16-17 hours (including NRT stop) is pretty nice. Of course, you should check Seatguru for actual seat reviews, but overall I have been pretty satisfied with Delta to the West coast or NYC, bearing in mind that as a US airline you will offen get surly, granny aircrew (typical for US carriers -- no SIA standards here). Good luck, I do the US trip a couple of times per year, will also probably do a Vegas stopover my next trip in September.

FWIW, I think my last ticket was in the US$3.5k/ea range (May depart, June return), so you should get something near that for LAS if you keep your dates flexible.
