Nonstop to BKK
Thai Airways flies from JFK-BKK non stop 6 days a week, using 2 A340-500's.
The flight is 17 hours each way with 6 hours between flights.
Departs BKK Midnight
arrives JFK 6:00am (Same day) but 17 actual hours later.
departs noon JFK
Arrives BKK at 4pm (next day) but 17 actual hours later and it all starts over at midnight.
I figure in a 40 hour period (round trip BKK-JFK-BKK), its in the air for 34 hours and has 1 six hour layover.
My family and I are doing this flight on June 24 (starting at JFK).
