Yeah I know there are plenty of posts on BKK/JFK/BKK flights, but I thought it might be of interest to both past and future travellers on this route to see what the service timings were on my flights back in July.

As can see, I keep pretty detailed flight logs not just of service delivery as shown below, but everything associated with the flight.

I didn't feel sleepy on the JFK/BKK flight so stayed awake watching some great movies, I was overnighting BKK so would catch up on a good night's sleep before contiuing on to PER next morning.

If anyone wants the full flight logs from these flights I'm happy to share them, so please e-mail me if interested
