Yes, Turkish Airlines still have old style seats in their older planes, including the planes they use Istanbul/Bangkok.

Or Royal Orchid, or Premium Laurel?

How about Club class, does that sound better?

That's my experience as well. Always been quick.

Trouble is all the money skimmed off in brown envelopes!

My hotels always had breakfast! Supper was almost always with clients, hence expense. Fugu fish restaurant, a restaurant that only served lobster, cooked in many ways, a restaurant that only served pork from the black pigs of Kagoshima, whale restaurant (!), etc. I ate sometimes in the hotel if I arrived late afternoon from UK, and was exhausted, especially if I had to play golf the next day!

Me too!

Perhaps I ate too often in hotels or restaurants with clients. A shabu shabu meal in my hotel, with a beer and a sake, 4 years ago was £100. The exchange rate alteration will have helped that, but I'm sure prices will have gone up.

Are they?

Depends where he's wearing the hat!

I like the idea of a 'gratuitous umbrella'!

Fair point that the yen has weakened, but I think food, though excellent is still pretty pricey.

Nude boys in hard hats?

Departure on the far right-hand side of check in area. It is signed.

Japan is a lot more expensive.

I always try to leave 3 hours for connection time, to be on safe side. If first flight is on time, no issues, relax in lounge or whatever. If flight late you stand a good chance of being OK. I too am amazed by pax, no doubt seduced by airline giving a short connection time, who have a 40 minute connection. Seems to me crazy, unless you would like a heart attack! However I was caught out by an MAS flight from Perth, that was 3 hours late into KL, and I missed the flight to London, in the morning. However, I was met at the door of the arriving flight, rebooked on the night flight, free hotel room, in airport, all meals, use of pool etc. So good service .

Didn't know it could be a weight loss drug!

My Gold for life status with BA, is Emerald with other One World Airlines. I get access to Most First Class lounges, of airlines in One World, so long as am using a One World Airline, even if i am flying in Economy, including American Flagship Lounges. There is free seat selection, boarding in Group 1. I also get addional Avios seats made available. Which is useful, though it doesn't help with Australia, or Bangkok.

If you are 18 or so, and can cum multiple times, yes, but how many of us can do that?

OK, thanks!

Full sex?

Thanks!

I'm a bit like PeterRS, accumulated millions of miles, almost all from business. I use mostly BA, as I am based in London. I became lifetime gold, which is very useful for lounges, and additional access to seats. I still have a lot of Miles, as I also acquire them with credit cards, and promotions. I use them fairly easily for European flights, where I can normally find flights. I am using miles to go to Rome and Prague shortly. BA have an option to pay more, and reduce the miles needed, which can work well. I also get a companion voucher with my Amex card, if i spend enough,which I can use to halve the miles needed. I am going to Sydney on business using that. I am not forgetting the additional taxes, etc, you pay on top, which are substantial on the long haul flights. It is very true that redemptions have gone up, a lot of long haul destinations are very difficult. I got my Sydney seat 11 months in advance. I did use miles for my last trip to Bangkok. There are almost no seats in biz to Bangkok, right up to next February! USA can be OK, NY and Chicago usually have a good selection. Strangely, there are quie avfew seats in August!. The site run by Rob Burgess, referred to above, has useful tips on how to use your BA miles on other One World airlines. 6 of my last 8 flights used miles, so I find them useful.

D&K is not in Cambodia!

Glad you had fun. We're boys top, vers, or bottom?
