That's good, I guess, although I will still try for Etihad.
I don't mind going to BKK if I'm traveling by myself, but with the family (2 small kids) I think it would make the journey too long.
And surprisingly it was only 1 month in advance i guess it was the time when the political situation in the GULF region was starting to deteriorate and they just wanted some activity.
As far as Etihad yes i would prefer that too but right now thats not an option.
With BKK option, i am traveling with 5 YR old too but traveling in business makes it lil bit easier with all the perks you get, but yes thats the only part i am worried about but thats the only feasible option at this time for us and plus we are quite familiar with the city so we don't mind going for a nice thai lunch and come back.
