Asia Roundtrip

Post by Jumbolino »

Hello Friends,

Yes, I know, meanwhile I'm a rare seen guest here :|
Anyway let me share with you my trip between 15th of December and 8th of January 2009 somewhere in Asia.

Did you know, that I wanted to go to Mexico ? Well, won't bother you with the story behind these facts - it's a quite long one :?

Let me begin - 15DEC 20:45 DUS-DXB EK 058 27J on Emirates
totally overrated airline - at least in ECO
landed in DXB at around 6 in the morning and had to kill time till the connection to BKK till 08:55 boarding 09:40 departure - headed into the lobby of the Hotel in T1 - provides free WLAN, smoking lounge and good coffee
later bought something in the duty free perfumery.
16DEC EK 372 DXB - BKK 09:40 45C
same like the other leg - at least overrated because of the totally uncomfortable seats.
Spend 2 days in BKK and can recommend Merisses Hotel - and BKK was great - nearly no tourists and peaceful :mrgreen: good decision not to rebook last minute :mrgreen:
18DEC TG431 68B boarding time 08:10
very lightweight booked ! good service and nice crew
spend ten days in Bali - horse riding, elephant riding and West national park included
28DEC MH 714 13:50 Denpasaar-Kuala Lumpur - 33A boarding at 13:20
anyway not bad - but there was no meal choice any more when the reached my line and therefore - fish or fish or better fish - that's OK :lol:
28DEC MH74 18:45 KUL-Hong Kong lost the boarding pass
this time I choose the other meal
spend new years eve in Hong Kong and managed myself to the peak, Kawloon, and even to Shenzhen (China) as well as to Macau
07JAN 23:15 TK 71 Hong Kong to Istanbul - op by Jet Airways
the best leg on the whole trip and the most comfortable seat long haul in ECO for ages
08JAN IST-DUS 08:10
delayed - the last leg in the whole trip was the only one delayed ! all the others have been merely early or on time :twisted:
Here some pics

Nice pics of your vacation. Which airline was the last leg of your trip?

I note your confirmation that Jet Airways has an excellent economy class.

thank you for the tip on the Merisess hotel in Bangkok, sukhumvit soi 16. Will keep it in mind. Only bad that they have no pool.
