Korean is doing a good job through Inchon with 747 service and cheap seat upgrades. About $100 for prime economy seat on Inchon lax route.

Avoid Shanghai airport. No air condition. Filthy with broken machines and lines. Huge crowds. No signs in English. Ask for help and they laugh.

They make you disembark luggage on a through flight, reinspect and screen it then reload it for Bangkok,

Fucking barbaric in my opinion.

BTW American Airlines has great premium economy from DFW to Shanghai then JAL to BKK

Too bad about the airport in Shanghai however. The flights are great and reasonable in low season

Blank. You have no number as yet

Thailand is fast becoming the land of run around economics

Best of luck
