are you in SR right now, lori?

offwego,
We flew Cathay Pacific and I thought their service, food and comfort was very good. However, I just found out that I'm not getting the frequent flyer miles from their partner American from LAX to BKK and back from DPS as I expected because my low fare didn't qualify....I don't recall seeing that caveat when I first booked. So, read the fine print to see if you're getting frequent flyer miles.

that same thing happens with B/A and American often...

I could be wrong, but I didn't think the fare makes a difference getting AA miles when flying BA, but the main issue is that if AA flies the same route then you won't get AA miles taking BA. Am I wrong on that?

neo that may be true, but in any case it is more restrictive than some other airlines and groups

I agree with Bisbee. Having flown both EVA (in Premium Economy) and Thai (in Business) twice now, I can say without reservation that the service is better on EVA.

The difference between the 2 PE products is probably negligible.

But the service from the FAs can be downright surly on Thai--like you owe them a debt of gratitude for flying on their airline.

EVA service has always been awesome.

Yes Mr. Dogster in SR right now.

I might just see you very soon. In Kampong somewhere or other right now. Two or three days may see me in Samot, weeping drunkenly, waiting for my food.

You know samot is an italian place now... The food does not suck, and now we have the benefit of not having to wait three hours for it, but well, it's Italian. ... I only tell you this because I don't want you having a conniption fit when you see the PIZZARIA sign out front.

Been to Abacus? Been to Toiuch? Been to the BBQ at Wat Damnak? Hmmmm?

Come to think of it, if you're in the mood to travel 1/2 hour into the countryside for some noodles, I'll take you to my favorite place for some Num Bahn Chok and Iced coffee but we have to get there by 11am.

You <i>know</i> I will travel 1/2 an hour for noodles! Pretty please...

Lori - as soon as i have flights/comfirmed dates i will email you.
Shame about Samot- it was on my list.

Meant to add i am finding the EVA prices really expensive at the moment, hence the dithering over booking.

Lori, can't make it. I'm staying away as a protest about Samot.
