Never the types to stay still for any length of time, we re off again on a flight with Thai Airways flying first class (business class) for the first time in our lives from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, Thailand .
For Christmas presents we struggled with what to buy one another. In terms of material possessions, we don t have the physical space to carry around more items than what we ve already got. Furthermore, our gear (mostly electronics, cameras, etc) is up to date and spending money to upgrade anything in particular simply wasn t practical.
When I was searching for a flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok italy guided tours I noticed Thai Airways, italy guided tours the national carrier, was offering competitive prices in relation to budget carrier competition such as Air Asia and Nok Air. Just for fun, I decided to check how much a business class / first class flight would cost. When I realized it would only be roughly $40 more per person, I immediately asked Audrey if she d be interested in flying business class for the first time in her life: Yes!!!
We immediately noticed the service upgrade upon arriving at Chiang Mai domestic terminal. Instead italy guided tours of waiting in line for our boarding passes, we immediately walked to the counter of the Silk Class business section and within mere seconds italy guided tours we were on our way through customs. Instead of waiting with the regular passengers on rigid, uncomfortable and non-padded italy guided tours seats, we entered into the Thai Airways Silk Lounge where a smorgasbord of finger foods, refreshments and proper couches awaited us. We were able to plug in our computers and surf the internet italy guided tours using a special wifi network exclusive to this lounge italy guided tours area. The time flew by in this posh environment.
italy guided tours When we boarded the plane we immediately noticed we didn t have fancy seats that you typically see on longer haul routes where there is personal space between each passenger; however, compared to regular class our seat spacing was more spacious and the extra legroom was especially nice.
The cloud formations outside were really italy guided tours unique on this journey. There was an impressive ridge in the clouds that just happened to be parallel to the route we were flying. It was like being able to see the gateway (or beginning) of this massive slab of cotton candy clouds in the sky.
Lunch was a choice between breaded fish or duck as a main course. We decided to get both and share. Having a full meal on only an hour long flight certainly made the time spent in the air seem less than usual. The programs Just For Laughs and Mr. Bean kept us laughing in between bites of our lunch. At one point a baby was peeing on a piece of fruit Before we knew it we were already descending.
Overall, it was great to experience flying first class. The perks are certainly noticeable and I can see why wealthy individuals would prefer the increased italy guided tours services over regular class; however, for us, as primarily budget travelers , we re unlikely to be flying first class frequently unless of course we win the lottery
With just a one night stopover in Bangkok we re going to catch up on some much needed sleep before boarding another flight en route to Edinburgh, Scotland via London, England. In just a few more hours we ll be trading t-shirts and shorts for winter jackets, fleece coats, mittens and toques to celebrate Hogmanay!
I can t believe it was only an extra $40 per person! I think I ll start enquiring about the costs in future at the moment, my lame attempts at trying to blag an upgrade have had a success rate of zero! Enjoy Hogmanay and Happy New Year!
How exciting! We re both flying first class for the first time in our lives when we go to Mexico next week. In a similar circumstance, we used our frequent flier miles, and the price was nearly the same! Enjoy Hogmanay!
Nice video don t know if chewy duck is a good thing though. And I was surprised the stewardesses were wearing pants and not skirts. Anyone ever tell you that Audrey looks like Carrie from Homeland?? (minus the crazy facial ticks) italy guided tours Always enjoy your videos, Frank (bbqboy)
What a wonderfully creative gift exchange, Samuel! italy guided tours I always like that the two of you share food orders as I like to do the same. I absolutely love duck and it shouldn t be chewy. Though it didn t look like they skimped on portion sizes! I hope the baby peeing was after you ate..ha, ha! I m glad you got that beautiful shot above the clouds. I flew first class (only time ever) from L.A. to Honolulu with my ex and it was the grandest treat! No lines, the lounge and fine dining just like you and Audrey had. I proposed to her two days later in Maui. Until your next post, safe travels to you both always!
Hah at first I was hugely surprised the difference was only $40, but then I realized your flight was a short haul one. Still a bargain though, especially considering you got a cool experience out of it. Experiences so often trump material gifts
