And so Willard can make himself comfortable in the front seats on this Airbus A330. This time Champagne is (reluctantly) on offer as a pre-flight drink, it hasn't got any better, but it's nice to be asked anyway. You can't see it here, but the front seats on this newer configuration Airbus (4A,C) really are VERY close to the bulkhead. If this was a longer flight I'd have been moving to different seats!

As we climb away from the airport, Willard says goodbye to Don Muang, Bangkok, and Thailand - for this trip, anyway.

Lunch on this flight is a much more substantial meal than on the flight from Kuala Lumpur. This Lamb Masala makes a good meal!

After a good meal, Willard can relax with a coffee and a Cognac!

Back at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, here we are checking in at the huge Malaysian Lounge complex in the satelite terminal. Willard is really looking forward to this, as reviews on Flyertalk have indicated that this lounge is on a par with his favourite airport lounge, Cathay Pacific's Wing in Hong Kong!
