The time we flew in December 2006 from Mumbai to Bangkok the Indian Airlines used to fly in this route under it's own brand 'Indian'. We were booked by our agent in the early morning flight from Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport.
In spite of the internal financial issues the Indian used to serve their passengers pretty well. Their ticket prices are fairly competitive with other low budget carriers yet they serve the meal on-board. Our flight schedule was between 12:30 AM till 6:15 AM landing in Bangkok and we were served a decent dinner. The time worked for us to take a morning transfer to Pattaya from Bangkok after necessary immigration formalities.

Bangkok is generally the first stop on most travellers’ journeys to Thailand. Arriving at Suvarnabhumi International Airport from destinations abroad. Trains from the borders of Malaysia and Laos are an available but uncommon means. Buses travel to Bangkok from every city in Thailand, and VIP motorcoaches arrive from all the major centres.

Air Asia is a cheap flight network which gets you to and around Thailand and Asia. If you book a week in advance for trips you are likely to get flights to most places for £15 (1000baht) and under. We got a number of flights to Chiang Mai, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore for half the price of other airlines.
Another cheap airline is Nok air but does not serve as many areas and i dont think any outside Thailand.

All Nipon Airways ( ANA ) brought me from Washington to Narita, than to Bangkok. The first flight took 14 hours, by far the longest time I spent in an airliner ! Many times I read how great service is on asian airline, well it was very nice on ANA. Extremely polite flight attendant, nice food ( well, you know japanese ! ). Eventhough I usually don't care about entertainment, it was fine to have some choice for such a long flight. We had 7 different vieod-shows in the B777. I always enjoy to get the maps showing where we are, our speed and altitude. We even got some images from a nose camera on the takeoff and landing. All the shows were either in japanese or english... I even was very surprise to find a third channel for the TV show "Friend"... in french !!! But, the best was the exercise show to prevent blood cloth. Was great to see most passengers stretching in rythm, lol !

Suvarnabhumi Airport
Suvarnabhumi Airport is the new international airport in Bangkok and one of the largest and busiest in the world. (i think its world-number two busiest !). Also you need to walk a lot from the airplane to go outside the airport (the last time i walk about 7-10 minutes).

Etihad Airways is the national airline of the United Arab Emirates. Home based in Abu Dhabi, Etihad is one of the fastest growing airlines in the world with destinations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australasia and North America.
With Etihad Aiways you fly as a guest and not as a passenger. I've never been so relaxed after flying to Asia from Europe as I was after this flight.
Two thumbs up for this airliner.

My mom, sister and I decided to go on a packaged tour of Thailand (for mom and Linda's benefit) and China Airlines was the airline we flew in.
The service was excellent as the flight attendants were very attentive and friendly. Our flight was a very long flight taking us from Bangkok to Taipei where we made a connection for our flight to the states which took us to Alaska then NYC.
