I thought this video from 1990 might be of interest. BA009 into BKK.

 

I wonder when they stopped using the Dusit and started using the Amari Watergate..??

In '96 Henry J Beans Happy Hour was a great pissup with the crews ... Jam packed full every night I went there .

This thread prompted me to check BA prices in November ...

Using "ITA Matrix" PE prices are 2,000 Baht cheaper than EVA .. Making it the cheapest Direct PE flight ..

Much better timings for me too!!

BA get in at 05:30 so I have a sleep then loads of time to catch a Coach. It leaves LGW 21:15 so loads of time to get there early by coach and get pissed in a lounge.

Personally, I'd pay the extra 2K so as not to fly BA, and to fly EVA.

Me too but the arrival times at LGW are much much better for me.

Quite honestly you can't beat EVA PE for price, quality and travel time otherwise.
