JFK - BKK Business Class Service
Mrs. Fishintheobx and I are looking at booking a JFK-BKK-HKT trip this December. Unfortunately, doing "search" on FT today is like watching paint peel off my walls. So slooooow. I have a few questions about the JFK-BKK A340-500 service:
1. What type of electrical plugs are available at the seats? I have a laptop and Ipod that will be keeping me busy.
2. I've heard there is a "lounge" onboard. Where is it, and what does it offer?
3. Does the Silk Class on the JFK-BKK flights include free drinks (liquor)?
4. Have any UA / US FF's booked the business class on the JFK-BKK flights?
Thanks everyone...

I think the power points are US/Asian style standard 2 parallel blades (but takes pins as well).
Hadn't heard about a lounge onboard (SQ perhaps?)
All classes on TG have free drinks served on international flights - even short 45 hops.
Leave your last query to a UA/US flier....

In reply to your question ; I am in UAL mileageplus and was able to get an award ticket on the jfk-bkk flt last year. There was no availabilty on Thai for my return date so I came back on ANA via Tokyo. There is no lounge on the plane other than your spacious pod type seat. The food and service are good and the non-stop trip is a nice way to go. Arriving in the afternoon feeling rested ! I would recommend it as a very good use 90k miles if you can ticket it. Chok dii!
