Hmmm... I might have to BKK and start a SE MR! I hear it's pretty nice in Bangkok or that part of the world during this time of the year.

Well, here's me thinking out loud...

So for 95 segments and $100 per RT, that's still $5000 CAD. However, that doesn't include the $2000 you need to spend just to get to BKK.

Just on a YWG-YVR-BKK (via NRT) - that's 4 segments. RT is 8 segments. 8 segments down, 87 more to go!

In theory, two segments for $100. Therefore, 88 segments for $4400.00

That's $4400.00 (TG domestic) plus $2000 (to get to BKK)... $6400.00 for SE!

That's still a lot of time.. Maybe I'll look at the TG website more indepth over the week. I should really get back to work.

This SE for under $3k is crazy... I can't sleep at night! LOL.
