| ABOVE: My first flight on Bangkok Airways was PG991 from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi to Phu Quoc | ||||
 |

 |
 |
 |
 |
| ABOVE: We left Phu Quoc on a short hop to Ho Chi Minh City with Vietnam Airlines, complete with lounge time at the airport. Having been downgraded from Business due to an aircraft switch, I nevertheless enjoyed excellent legroom in the front row of the Economy cabin. I also got a drink and snack, while Bruce received nothing at all in Business! | |||||

| ABOVE: The next leg of the homeward journey saw us on board a Malaysia Airlines flight to Kuala Lumpur, in Business Class. Pictures show the airport experience, cabin, main in-flight meal and final snack. The latter featured partly-DIY whisky & soda - MH no longer serves alcohol on short-haul flights. I think we each managed to keep a straight face! | |||||
