Why would you think your causing an issue with your posts BL?

Actually, I've enjoyed the extra activity but I'm not in it to win $500...albeit a generous gift from that shrewd Mr GT Have you set of a league table yet? Who is in the top three?

I see...I agree though with you. I can't see any commercial sense in putting an A380 on that route..there again the DXB-BKK leg is often overbooked. I tend to get a free upgrade to biz as they are overbooked in economy.

There's a problem, though, because the HKG/BKK/HKG flights require an overnight stop in both directions if you want to connect to/from Sydney or Christchurch. If EK wants more connecting traffic, you'd have thought they'd change their schedules. So I don't understand the move to put the much larger aircraft on the BKK/HKG route. SInce it's just one flight a day, fares have to be lower than the carriers like CX and TG with 5 each. Besides, EK already has a non-stop HKG/Dubai service. I missed the last one. I don't quite understand about the overnight stop for Aus/NZ? EK flies 5 times daily combined to to Aus/NZ some flights stopover for an hour enroute..no overnight stop? In terms of the HK route I agree with you..no reason why they need an A380 on that route..it's rarely full hence the cheap fare...probably a prestige thing. As you're probably aware Arab airlines are very much about prestige...even comes before profit!

As BKK is a stopover point for flights to Sydney and Christchurch/Auckland along with HK the lounge is pretty full most times and I would guess cost effective. They so sell quite a number of stand alone tickets from BKK to these destinations, hence the introduction of an A380 to HK. On a wider note the dedicated lounge concept is just part of their strategy to become a global airline. They are becoming a major force in serving North and South America also. They don't intend to join any airline alliance (ie Star,Oneworld etc). Hence the dedicated lounges....

A great deal then! I'm off to HK on Friday for the weekend with the other half, maybe I will save on the miles...

Nice one GT, Thanks for the heads up... I never knew that Smiles has anything to do with SGT before....Like a lot of people I looked at SWG but I never posted there. No reason, other than it never felt comfortable. I never understand why some gay guys become so bitter and twisted.... Cheers

BL, You seem to migrated to both here and GB's board quite easily. This is not an attack on you but I seem to remember you mentioning something less than noble re this board. I guess you have changed your mind....what happened?

Judging by this it looks like they are. I would not be surprised if lots of things are being monitored in Pattaya GT........

First Class on that route with EK currently 39,000 Bht. If you are a gold Skywards member like myself you could pay the biz class fare currently (14,000 bht) and use a few miles to upgrade free. Also Emirates has it's own dedicated lounge at BKK. Check the link for a peek. http://www.emirates.com/english/flying/our_fleet/emirates_a380/first_class/first_class.aspx

There you go... http://www.pattayadailynews.com/en/2010/08/29/special-police-%E2%80%98gay-bar%E2%80%99-sex-show-raid-unfruitful/

Well done Mr GT, I think maybe you are looking for some originality.Quality rather than quantity!

Pattayamale...... You would still meet him and when you see him later could say "Hi,John" instead of "Hi, Slime". This was so funny...I fell off my chair

Just off one the coyote dancers....ask a waiter and he will sort it for you

Sure, I'd love to meet up....

Horrible?....you mean in terms of his lack of performance?

I'm available same time once you guys decide. Keep it simple Would be great to meet up

Well it's a start.....

Hi Pattaya Male I wasn't thinking of a freebie...I enjoy reading the many varied posts and opinions here on GT. I for one would really enjoy putting a face to the names from the forum if a few guys are in Pattaya? A few drinks around several bars(they could do with the help?!) would suffice. Say put 1500-2000 baht each into a pot and off we go!

Hey Selenic, You would need to buy a SIM from True Move for 3G in Pattaya. It's the only 3G network available in Pattaya. Top up 699 bht and get 1GB Edge/3G WI FI Unlimited. Send SMS V2 to 9789. Hope that helps when you return to Pattaya.

Thanks for your prompt reply! I look forward to his return then as and when it happens.

Hi GT/GB A long while back I'm sure there was a thread discussing the thought of a night out in Pattaya or BKK for members....did anything come of it?
