Thai Airways Nonstop from JFK questions.

[kaiju]

Gentlemen,

I’ve been researching non-stop flights from Boston, Massachusetts USA to Bangkok, Thailand. Sadly, there’s no such beast. However, I found one and only one at JFK New York, New York USA. It’s Thai Airways. I can’t believe there’s only one airline that goes non-stop but there it is. I could be wrong however. If you blokes differ in opinion, lay it on me brother. I really could not find anything else.

 

Thai Airways looks like a great airline to fly and I’m looking forward to it. Thai Airways only has the A340-500 (Airbus) going to Bangkok non-stop from JFK. I can either get Business class (they call it Royal Silk), Premium Economy class or Economy class. Royal Silk goes for about 5K USD while economy goes for around 1K USD (I got both prices from thier web site). Again, if you blokes know of another way of getting a better price, give it up for the Kaiju.

 

What I like to do before I spend lots of dosh on a flight ticket is to get a better understanding of the flight environment. So far I found a few valuable Youtube flicks.

 

This one gives me an idea of the A340-500.

This is just plain sick!

 

If you guys have any more information on the right airline to pick, better Youtube flicks and other important info like what airline has the all important luxury cubicles, post your info. Thanks.

I took that flight last November. It was OK, but the 17 hours was a bit long. Actually, I don't mind the flights where you have a 1 hour layover in Tokyo. Gives you a chance to strectch your legs and walk around a bit.

 

Here's a link to some guys flight report:

There partners with United & US Air do you have any milage with them? I used my miles for upgrade on Northwest when I moved here! 17 hours is a long ride in the back of the bus, but Thai Airlines is better than the ones we now have in the states

Leaving next week for my 6th trip in the last year. Only fly Thai Air flt 791 Jfk bkk now. Flown business (they don't have first on this flight) , economy and premium economy.

 

Premium economy is the best price point. Business is for people that don't pay their own ticket. Economy is OK if the flight isn't too full. Never again for me though. Last trip the plane was packed and I was 18 hours next too a guy who must have been 280 pounds, had his seat and half of mine.
