Big Day of Flying - TG Royal Silk BKK-TPE, CX Business Class TPE-HKG-BKK

[Aussie_flyer]

Hi Guys,

For no reason other than: 1. I love to fly and 2. status run for Qantas Frequent flyer, I decided to make this same day turnaround from Bangkok to Taipei and back again.

I had only just arrived from Melbourne to Bangkok quite late the night before so I was pretty exhausted by the end of this day!

As I have already uploaded all the pics (there is LOADS of them) and the report to my blog, please read them there.

Appreciate all comments!

Flight 1: TG634 Bangkok to Taipei

Flight 2: CX511 Taipei to Hong Kong

Flight 3: CX703 Hong Kong to Bangkok

Thanks for reading

Excellent TR, and lovely photos to boot. We did this SC run over a month ago, so it definitely brings back many memories!

CX have J specials ex-Taipei to South East Asia, they are not always available. Price varies from AU$500-$700 return. You get more value in SC's to go to SIN or KUL or MNL but since I live part-time in Bangkok, It was more useful for me to fly there.

Thanks dazz81

Really enjoyed reading your 3 part TR.
It was interesting getting the comparisons of both airlines.

Quite enjoyed your TR, now the important part: How many SC's? and what was the $ per SC ratio?

200 SC's, $600 = $3 / SC

You can do better with other destinations. ex-tpe
