-- Are int'l. airlines partly to blame for a possible DOWN-turn in the number of visitors to the LoS. in gen'l. and to BKK. in particular?

-- Generalising from one person's experiences, the professorial friend of my Enthusiastic and American Friend, he was here earlier this yr., admitted that he delayed enquiring until about ten days before Christmas, and was quoted a YR. fare CHARLESTON, SC., (CHS.) - BKK. at USD.2,998.oo.; he allowed that he didn't do any shopping-around for fares.
- Additionally, I gather that fewer aeroplanes are flying and that the int'l. airlines do what they can to ensure that their 'planes. fly with as near 100%. safe capacity as they can manage - even if that means flying PAX. to hub-airports and timing/delaying flights so that the 'planes. would be full.

-- The prof. in question flew to PUERTO VALLARTA, (PVR.), for some $550.oo. and alleged that enjoyed as good a time as he would have done here in BKK. and at a LESSER & o'all. cost - or so I was told.
- I've made a posting in the MEXICO thread with further info. ... .

-- E&OE. as reported speech.
