Was thinking GIG in a first place, but my current guess is MIA

Ok, this one is likely to be a quick victim. But still....

Yep, if you have been there you see directly it is BKK. At least it brought us around 30 min further in time. I took the pic since the AF/KL lounge is around the cross of the E/F gates, and for the occasion they parked the AF or KL bird (forgot if I flew via Paris or not) at a gate near the D-sign at the right. Those who know BKK know this is around 800 meters....or if you have to do this 2 way, close to 30 minutes eating into your lounge time :-(

I think we have a race to the bottom (of the picture stocks) here. Curious what you still have in stock, Johan.

Last time I transited at BKK (TG > CX) I got a complete tour of the airport in a golf cart driven by a pretty hysterical lady with very limited English. I was the last pax to be dropped off, at a transfer desk that felt as if it was a mile away.

Searching in nooks and crannies I've found a few more. Let's try this:












Take off and landing, on different but parallel runways.

Yes it is.

Cessna 208B Grand Caravan out, Beech B200 Super King Air back.

Yes, that was quick, GVA but before the new pier that was opened last month.

You can see the difference in treatment given to premium pax vs economy very nicely, though that day it was nice and sunny.

13 min, not the quickest time. I should have posted my intuition directly before seeking confirmation at Google maps or so.

Things get really hard now. See below (hint - understand that codeshares are allowed)
