I worked in the UK - it is an option for some. Just as Frequent is correct that Thai out of LA was an option for some. Scotty had already mentioned that only a few airports offered it and he was right. Besides, when did this boars EVER stay stricktly to the "topic" -"in fairness" it's not a legal contract.Originally Posted by gerefan2

Err yes.. - but in case you hadn't noticed, the vast majority of visitors to the LoS are not from N. America.
Most Americans seem to prefer the PI scene - which can be done in one leg from the west coast at least..
[edit: PI = Philippine Islands]

Actually, the vast majority of users of this forum don't actually post and as to visitors to LOS itself - the REASON most visitors are not from North America is because of the length of the trip - NOT whether paying a little more gets a quicker flight. - Thus, your point is bogus - simply put NO MATTER where you plan to go direct flights are operational/financial/hub and spoke feed system decisions of the airlines NOT anyone's willingness to pay "extra'
Also. this remark "Most Americans seem to prefer the PI scene - which can be done in one leg from the west coast at least.."
I love the way some people use "most" or "seem" in place of any fact - it is 3,000 miles from NYC to LA - "most" at least from the west coast. God, such pure drivel. By the way , what the hell " PI" anyway.

Indeed
When I was flying West Coast - Bangkok it was always a one-leg flight, with the break in Tokyo. I was tempted when I worked in Texas to use Continental's Dallas - Tokyo. United flies direct from Chicago to Tokyo. Everywhere from North America to Bangkok is "one-leg" except when Thai flew direct from LA
Frequent. Please, you can't manipulate English to make it mean what you want.
I spent 25 years as a consultant to the travel industry. Please understand, " a one-leg flight, with the break in Tokyo" is a CONNECTION. When you flew to Tokyo from Chicago that was a connection of 90 minutes to 2 hours and you still had an 8 hour flight to Bangkok. I did not include the old LAX to Bangkok Thai flight as to almost all Americnas it was still a connection from somewhere else in a very large country.
It's hard to believe that this all started because I pointed out that one can't, always, simply pay a little more and get a direct flight. Anyway, "old Git's" ill infiormed comment has already seen more play than it deserves.>
Don't be ridiculous, posters here do it all the time. As you yourself have pointed out, you worked in the travel industry, so you are familiar with its technical terms. To the layman they are interchangeable
If you want to stimulate an argument about meanings of words I suggest you post a question on Thaivisa about "renewing" a retirement visa. Swarms of posters will descend on you to tell you that there's no such thing; technically people are extending their visa, not renewing it - and that's true. However, go to any Thai government web site and they all talk about "renewing" your visa. It's a distinction without a difference to the non-specialist
Technically people are extending their permission of stay in the Kingdom, not extending nor renewing their visa - and that's true.
Apparently
