having made some 60+ returns EUR-BKK/or nearby in Asia, and flying this evening toward snow, I cannot really recall having any experience. The normal overbooking/upgrade 2-3 times, lost luggage-never on these routes (but more to/fro USA), and then the through the years gradually sharpened safety restrictions (could easily once take all in a small cabin-bag years ago for 1 week holiday-impossible now). I understood the sharpened safety was mainly to/from the USA-but in airports where there is screening in general and not at gate (as BKK/Swampy has also recently switched to)-that will be impossible to differ.
