I have a querry with ref to Visa on Arrival process for Thailand:
Besides the 2 PP size photos, fees of THB1000, confirmed return tickets & travel insurance; is a confirmed hotel booking mandatory?

Also, it seems that the TG website doesn't yet accept AI FFP # on their booking systems. Anyone experienced this before?

Thanks in advance,

I visited Thailand last month, VOA was easy but the lines do get a bit long. You are better off getting the VISA in India itself (hardly takes 3-4 days).

Anyway I got a VOA, do not forget photographs, You can get a booking from booking.com and then cancel it, just show them confirmation and thats fine (if they ask).

There are 2 modes 1000 THB normal and 1200 THB for express. 1200 ones are usually half of 1000 ones.

Traveled BOM VNS HJR VNS DEL BOM. on Jet and AI. Both were good. AI needs to do more in training personnel to be more welcoming and " pleased to have you......". Was surprised to get a small dinner on Jet!

Two hours on and flight still shows as on time on the Jet website. Flight was cancelled 30 minutes back.

Nice to see they update things.

Ai standards ?

Much written in the media and here.....We all waited for AI induction into Star A.

Just saw a newspaper report that said 100 + AI pilots were flying without current licenses
Wonder what the public and Star A think of this !

Turns out this is probably due to a sudden change in the rules regarding certification, not really due to AI's inefficiency.

Of course, the public and *A don't really care, as AI is hardly the carrier of choice for paying pax IMO.

I have an issue with 2 AI e-tickets that cannot be used. I tried calling AI e-commerce at the telephone number shown on the web site for contacts (011-24624074) as well as sending e-mails.

However there has been no reply after several days. The telephone has rung up to 28 times!.

Any suggestions as to getting into a 2-way conversation regarding these tickets?

The reservation's been made with my points. So you won't have to pay anything for lodging.

Runway accident

Have seenTV reports about a Spicejet aircraft hitting a buffalo due to a runway incursion. Did I hear it right that an engine was damaged ?
If true that would be a first.

I just use skype (I have a free premium trial for now) and dial the UK 020 number.
