Quite frankly though, this taxi situation is a total joke, as I said once before (despite Mr Alans protestations, it does remain the truth) I arrived one time with over 150kg of luggage...
I never said that you didn't bring 150kg of luggage on a plane. I did question whether it feasible to get that much luggage on a plane without it being weighed and without paying extra. You may have done it once, but according to regulations in most countires all checked luggage must be weighed in order to determine the total wieght of plane at takeoff. I have been on several flights where they asked non-revenue passagers (airline employees) to get off the plane because it was over-weight.
Maybe you got a freebee once, but it would seem to be a violation of airline policy and not likely to happen on regular basis. In any event, I would not fly any airline that did not weigh the luggage (assuming I knew about it).

"nigh on" WTF is that?
I merely suggested that other people not try it with the expectation that they can get that much luggage check for free.
Now if you bribed an ticketing agent with cash, then of course it is not exactly free (but probably less than you should have been charged). But since you aren't telling us how you did it, then why even mention it to others?

Great, so now ALL prices associated with the new airport will increase, just to help some greedy motherf***ers make more money, and THEY have absolutely no regard for the goal of putting the airport of the map. Let me guess, those with their fists in the cookie jars are of ethnic chinese origin, again...? It's good to know that their gred-driven short-sightedness will continue to keep Thailand off the map... :- (
I especially love the part about the taxi regulations, and that only 'newer' taxis are allowed to the airport. My personal take on all of that will be that these 'regulations' will be enforced for, at most, 6 months, and then we'll start to see 'allowed' taxi lines at the airport, simply by necessity.

Folks, airline employees have no trouble getting heavily overweight luggage or even cargo-like masses on a plane, without having to pay additional charges. Of course, the higher up the airline employee is, the more they can bring along without raising eyebrows. Hence, a captain may be able to bring several hundred pounds along for the ride - but it does need to be weighed, or at least the weight declared.
We just don't talk about it.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Monday 4 September 2006 :-
Jetstar at head of Suvarnabhumi queue - Budget carrier ready to launch on Sept 15
===============================================================
Singapore _ Jetstar Asia, the Singaporean budget carrier owned by Qantas of Australia, will become the first foreign airline to operate through Suvarnabhumi Airport on Sept 15, two weeks ahead of the Sept 28 opening date.
The carrier's decision to be the first of 80 international airlines serving Thailand to use the new airport reflects its confidence in the airport's readiness, which has been questioned by most industry executives and the public at large.
Chief executive Chong Phit Lian described the decision as a deliberate move to gain momentum for an expedient and smooth transition in the relocation to Suvarnabhumi from Bangkok International Airport (Don Muang).
Jetstar Asia's decision was based on Ms Chong's personal inspection of the 125-billion-baht facility. From her perspective as an engineer, she said it should be up and running later this month as planned by the Thai authorities.
"I am confident the early move will enable our customers the first-mover advantage to enjoy and leverage on the amenities available at Suvarnabhumi Airport," she said on Friday.
Bangkok's new airport was a state-of-the-art facility offering a diverse variety of retail, food and beverage, and Internet access services and robust ground transport including buses and taxis, she said.
The only other airline that will start international services in and out of Suvarnabhumi ahead of the Sept 28 opening is the budget carrier Thai AirAsia.
Thai AirAsia's flights from Kota Bharu (Malaysia) Singapore, Macau and Hanoi, as well as certain domestic routes, are due to land at Suvarnabhumi on the night of Sept 24.
All Thai AirAsia flights will then start operating in and out of the new airport on Sept 25.
So far, most of the other foreign carriers are far from ready to move ahead of Sept 28 as they are still struggling to establish themselves at the new site.
They have no choice but to speed up their facilities to meet the deadlines, with airlines with larger operations having more headaches than smaller ones.
Airports of Thailand Plc, the operator of Thailand's international airports, has waived several airport charges, including landing and parking fees and airbridge usage, at Suvarnabhumi Airport from Sept 1-27 to encourage carriers to operate trial runs through the new facility.
Thai Airways International remains firm on operating entirely from Suvarnabhumi on Sept 28 although it will start domestic flights from Suvarnabhumi on three routes, with a total of five flights a day, on Sept 15.
Chosen because of limited flight connection requirements, the three routes are Suvarnabhumi-Phitsanulok (three flights), Suvarnabhumi-Ubon Ratchathani (one flight), and Suvarnabhumi-Chiang Mai (one flight).
Jetstar Asia runs three Airbus 320 flights a day from Singapore to Bangkok.
Its regional network includes India (Bangalore), Cambodia (Siem Reap and Phnom Penh), Thailand (Bangkok and Phuket), Hong Kong, the Philippines (Manila), Burma (Rangoon) and Taiwan (Taipei).
Valuair, which merged with Jetstar Asia in October 2005, also flies to Jakarta, Surabaya and Denpasar (Bali).
Jetstar's check-in times and flight schedules will remain unchanged at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

nigh on....as in you probably didn't use the word (I can't remember the thread) but your implication at the time was that I was not telling the truth.
Daffy....the new taxis at the airport has always been part of the deal.....read my post from April 2005 in the 'New Airport' thread.... and lets be honest....some of the old bone shakers with no luggage space we'll be well rid of. Hopefully it'll put them out of business as they spend most of their daying queuing for the guaranteed fare they get from DM. (for me the number one reason to use departures)

No, I implied that you were giving bad advice to "suggest" that anyone could do it. If you weren't suggesting that anyone could do it, then I guess you were just bragging.
