Thanks.

The Bangkok international airport (BKK) officially sucks.

Very spread out, very hot, thousands of shops but few restaurants where you can sit down and be served. Also they block off the gates until right before boarding so you sit in these hot public areas with no chargers.

And it looks pretty new, so it seems to be intentional.

Leg 5 of 7 completed.

Loved the pics. Thanks for sharing!!

(PS I dont think that BKK is thaaaat bad. LOL)

We reckon Singapore Airlines is consistently the best.
Lots of others are ok, average.
Aeroflot worst. Emirates not good.

I’ve had great experience on Singapore air but on all business class flights with someone else paying so of course they’re great. Something great about how quickly an all business class flight loads and unloads really spoils you.

Landing right now at JFK. Leg 6 of 7.

That was a wonderful trip Jon. Thanks so much for sharing. It looked so idyllic (except for the 36 hours on a plane!) Glad you had a good time.

Welcome back! I’m at MSP right now, TSA was only a few minutes. I fly Delta for probably 49 of my last 50 flights, but today I fly American. Wish me luck!

American is OK, probably on par with Delta.

[jon-nyc]

I agree. I fly AA most often because I have legacy status there (lifetime platinum) but Delta is a close second.

Uber home was leg 7 of 7. Funky screen on this car - it was a Fisker.

Got home at 8:10am EDT Monday morning.

We left the resort by boat at 8am Sunday morning Thai time, which was 9pm Saturday night EDT.

So it was a 35 hour trip home, including a considerable amount of time waiting at airports. About 20hr actually in planes.

Welcome back!! It was nice to travel "vicariously" with you two on your trip!!

[Tom-K]

I fly between NY and FL very often and I can BARELY STAND IT. I can't imagine how you can do all those long trips. Good for you! Have wonderful trips and times.

Imagine flying to the moon! Welcome back @jon-nyc
