Wow, I had the same thought as Gerefan about the news that BA is not resuming flights to BKK: that's not a big loss to Thailand-bound fliers from London. I flew on BA LHR-BKK & return in biz class several years ago &, while it was not 'bloody awful', it was mediocre in every respect. Never again.
I have also experienced how various airlines treat the same markets differently: I have flown both BA and TK between LHR and IST. While TK business class was great in every sense (aircraft, configuration, seats, service, offerings, etc.) BA was God-awful, despite costing more than TK. Never again.
All airlines seem to identify some markets as premium and put all their resources towards them, while using “leftovers” for their secondary (or, tertiary) markets. TK, in turn, does the same for flights between IST and some cities/countries they deem less important for them.

If he's on stage next time you go in the bar, do let us know what his response is. My guess is he will be almost inviting himself to sit next to you.
I agree. We won’t know how HE felt about the tip until the next time he encounters OP. Unless, of course, there was a clear reaction right after the interaction that we do not know about. In general, I believe that tipping should include 1. Minimum for the time spent + 2. Compensation for any extra services provided above the expected minimum based on the quality of that experience.
I don’t believe in capping the maximum tips - it really depends on an individual to whom the services are rendered. There’s nothing worse than underpaying someone who puts himself out there for you pleasure and satisfaction.
as far as the PDA is concerned, in any human interaction, one’s behavior should be based on reading the room and the person with whom you’re interacting. If at any point your partner does not feel comfortable with your actions, you should stop and look for an alternate location, or partner.

Another sci-fi (parallel universe) Thai BL series “Vice Versa” seems promising; featuring some very (and a couple not so) familiar faces from Bad Buddy, Enchante, etc.
This GMM 25 series airs on Saturdays and is available on their official YouTube page. Episode 1 of 12 aired yesterday.

Seriously $4700 was the cheapest om the time frame and OTHER ticket selections were already in he asking range for $9400 round trip cattle class. Initially. I was surprised when I noticed tickets were quoted as one-way prices. Lower priced tickets had worse routing. and longer arrival times.
Try kayak.com and look for transatlantic travel vs. transpacific on Delta.

Seems like 1 Air Canada flight 4x per week isn't going to make much of a dent.
Of course another problem is the current lack of pilots and crew that is wreaking havoc on summer air traffic especially in the US and Europe.
It seems that Air Canada is doing a trial/feasibility study of a new seasonal destination. If it proves profitable, they may add more flights, i.e. increase them to daily flights and tweak the season to include November. It should make a difference for West Coast travelers in the North American markets that Air Canada serves with non-stop flights to Vancouver. There are just a few carriers there that offer flights to Thailand with only one connection.

This is a slippery slope: If you put restrictions for entry from a country that has a history of diseases (all of Africa, most of Asia, Central and South America), it would include all of your own citizens returning from their trips to the said regions, as well as travelers from all other countries that do not impose such draconian rules. That’s why the travel restrictions are in place during active pandemic, but not when diseases become endemic for these regions.
We all need to practice precautions but, unfortunately, some of us are selfish, careless, or not smart enough to know the difference. Look at the World we are living in.
And freedom does not mean that if you are dumb enough you could contract a highly contagious disease and then freely spread among those for whom it could be deadly.

1000+ cases in over 30 countries. CDC issues level 2 of the 3-tier travel warning. Some cases point to possible air droplet transmission. CDC also issued a mask recommendation, which was later retracted.

The airfares in the US - both, $ and FF miles - increased dramatically. Some blame crew shortages with resumed busy Summer travel, combined with higher oil prices. FF miles required tripled for international travel to Asia, as well as Europe. $ increased from 25% to 75% for premium cabins (business and first).

Seems like a vicious circle: demand could be low because of fewer seats/flights and higher airfares 🤔
