I totally agree with you Somnat
I'll still fly with Thai. For me personally, they still have the best all round value fares. (At least on Per-BKK)
I tried Jetstar Asia, via Singapore last year. Was only $150 cheaper (4600bt) for the return flight, but had to pay extra for everything. First time on a budget long haul flight. Thought I'd give it a try. Never ever again. I knew all of the following points would apply, but it was a horrible experience all the same.
No check in luggage ... extra (Never seen so many HUGE carry on bags in my life.)
No drinks whatsoever ... extra
No food whatsoever ... extra
No movies or entertainment. (Apart from the screaming family sitting all around me)
NON reclining seat (are you kidding !!! ) designed for tiny, little, very petite oriental people
Phwrrrrrrrrrr ... never been so happy to see BKK Airport !!
Thai flights are a dream. You really DO get what you pay for !!
Would love to fly First Class anywhere one day before I drop dead. Just to see if the web pictures are for real !!
