How do you East-Coasters get to BKK? Seems like a trek half around the planet.
A good 24 hours of peace and quiet, movies, books, decent food and drink, sleep, sudoku, FlightTracker and all that, with no emails / phone calls / BlackBerry can be a really nice respite from everyday life. Oh, how I wish I could do this on SQ again. |

Really. You don't say!? What a delightful coincidence indeed. We must meet for a cup of tea and biscuits then. ;)

I like the timing - early up in BOS and a midnight arrival at BKK - so that it's bedtime on arrival. I've tried the Europe routing, and dislike the evening BOS departure with morning BKK arrival as that seems to make jetlag even worse. |

The dinner on 12/30 sounds nice. Can confirm myself and +1 if this is actually happening. Please PM me about the details. |

BOS-ORD-NRT-BKK on UA is my preferred route. During the height of winter I'll sub IAD for ORD to avoid snow problems. I always leave BOS on the first flight (usually 0600) and take the longer layover at ORD, to protect against IRROPs on the first leg. I enjoy the layover at NRT at the UA IFL (or ANA lounge) with a shower and noodle soup.

I was thinking BOS-CDG-BKK in premium voyageur. Shouldn't be that bad. Or..?Problem with, e.g. BOS-DTW-ICN-BKK is that you arrive late and thus lose a whole day in BKK.
BOS-NRT-BKK on JL could also work well, if that is an option. |

It will be interesting to see what will happen to fares when two Middle-Eastern airlines start flying to BOS sometime next year. I wouldn't mind a cheap introductory biz fare BOS-DOH-BKK :) |

Booking premium economy on carriers like AF can make a lot of sense, as it is often possible to waitlist for a mileage upgrade to C class, but even if an upgrade does not clear one is still guaranteed a relatively comfortable seat. |

A cheap introductory business fare would be great:cool:

Maybe a mini RTW would also be possible, e.g. BOS-CDG-BKK-ICN-JFK-BOS :cool:

We're accidentally doing a RTW because that's how award availability worked out. CVG-ORD (AA) HKG (CX) BKK (CX) MUC (TG) FRA (LH) IAD (LH) CVG (UA) - it was kind of tough to cobble awards in F for 2 that worked.
