Travelling Asia as a Regional Manager
Stuff about flying and airlines….
Bored in Narita as normal. So whipped out the PowerShot N for a little time-lapse of the plane at the gate as the sunset. I had no idea they would coordinate the push back and a 747 would come and park afterwards.
Landing in Narita.

Here I am at LAX waiting for my flight to Denver and City are playing in the FA Cup final. Three sports bars none of which is showing the world’s favourite sport! One was even showing Lacrosse!!! Wake up America!!
But I kind like it, I got my spot in a cafe and will hunker down to BBC/Guardian Min by min coverage on the website. Can be just as exciting and provide stronger memories years done the track. After all it was in SFO two years ago in a United airlines lounge toilet I cried as City beat United in the Semi-final.
Got to go now and refresh my web page…..
Originally the flight was due to be served by a Boeing Dreamliner but since the grounding of the Dreamliner the flight was in an old 777 with their small grubby windows. Looking forward to going on a Dreamliner soon with it’s bigger windows that will bring better photo opportunities! Most frustrating taking photos out of plane windows at times always straining for a better composition.

Flying into Bangkok these days is offering the interested traveller aerial views of outer Bangkok.
Bangkok airport or Subarnabhumi has a nice shinny new airport security area.
You now go up one floor from departures, unpack, strip down, get scanned, dress and repack before going down again for passport control!!
BaaBaa
Offers for the old baggage scanners anyone?
Yummy!
There is so much to hate and get irritated about United Airlines. The screwed up bookings, the complete demoralisation of the staff, the old planes! Shall I go on?

A trip I make all too often, captured and edited all on my iPhone…

Any flight before 9am is too early. I rarely sleep before midnight and even later for some reason if there is a danger if not getting up in time.
Also early flights bring out all my impatience with airport organisation and taxi driver nonsense.
Still today I discovered the Thai Airways lounge at gate E at Bangkok airport has a load of beds. Sorted…
