Thanks for the SV information. Will hopefully experience the delights of SV BC. Was using the AF/KL Sky lounge in BKK not an option (though the ST access rules seem to rule it out). How did you manage to get a D fare? Only got I out and back (KUL/BKK). Did you book Aerotel in advance to get the SAR 496 rate? Best they're offering me (for double occupancy) is close to 600 for the non-refundable 45 day advance purchase.
