On an AirAsia flight flying out of Perth there was a mechanical issue and the plane was shaking uncontrollably for 2 hours.

It was so bad the pilot asked the passengers to pray.

The plane landed safely and the passengers were given a 20 dollar voucher.

I usually take the Bell Bus which drops you directly at your hotel or the Jomtien. Bus which doesn't but is only 124 baht. It's not just the price; I think busses are safer than cabs.

To answer your question, when friends of mine want a taxi, I recommend PT Taxi. They are based in Pattaya so they don't get lost.

PT Taxi

 They are reliable and it's 900 baht all in TO the airport and 1000 baht all in FROM the airport.

T-Mac, is the Penthouse service one of those deals that include a blowjob?

Texasmac, please be aware that there was a report on TLF that the bars in Penthouse Hotel are currently under renovation and are closed. This may possibly be due to the enforcement of rules that bars can no longer have direct access to short time rooms. How this affects the pick up from the airport (with the ladies/lbs) has not been reported.

I am staying at Page 10 Hotel off Second. It is a nice hotel and quiet. I wasn't sure if PT was still in service. I used him years ago and the cost of the trip from the airport to Pattaya was a pair of Levi Jeans which I bought at Walmart for $19.99. So PT it is. And Pdoggg  if mine includes a blow job with this driver I would have declined.

Sydney terrorist plot: Bid to smuggle bomb through airport thwarted at check-in

A Sydney-born terrorism plot to place a bomb on a passenger plane was dangerously close to being carried out before it was unwittingly thwarted at an airline check-in counter.

New details about the attempt to bring down the commercial flight out of Sydney provides a chilling insight into how close Islamic State-inspired terrorists allegedly came to executing the mass-casualty attack.

Fairfax Media understands an improvised device reached Sydney Airport's international terminal after a passenger packed it inside a piece of luggage.

The passenger was queried about the weight of the luggage at the check-in counter and learnt it was too heavy. The bag was never checked in or carried on the plane. 

Authorities uncovered this after Khaled Merhi, Khaled Khayat and Mahmoud Khayat were arrested in counter-terrorism raids across Sydney on Saturday evening.

They were detained over an alleged and pending plot to smuggle an improvised explosive device on to an Etihad flight departing Sydney for Abu Dhabi.

On Thursday night, the Australian Federal Police chargedMahmoud Khayat, 32, and Khaled Mahmoud Khayat, 49, each with two counts of acting in preparation for or planning a terrorist act.

Both men are scheduled to appear in Parramatta Court on Friday morning. The maximum penalty each could face is life imprisonment.

Khaled Merhi remains in custody. His brother, Abdul Merhi, 50, was released from police custody without charge on Tuesday night.

For the past several days, police have been scouring through the Surry Hills, Lakemba, Punchbowl, Bankstown and Wiley Park homes of the four men, who are related through marriage.

A meat mincer, which would either explode or disperse deadly gas, was the suspected weapon. It is understood it was among the items seized from the Surry Hills terrace.

Since police turned their focus to the alleged plotters last week, investigators uncovered information about the alleged earlier attempt that got as far as the airport terminal.

It is unclear when the close call occurred, although it was before police launched their investigation into the Sydney men last week.

Multiple sources have confirmed the earlier attempt but said that, even if the device did make it past the airline check-in, it might have been detected in a security screening.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said on Thursday there had been a lot of speculation about what the alleged attack entailed, but added that police stopped what could had been a "horrible crime".

"Terrorism is very different to other crimes; you cannot wait until you have the perfect brief, you cannot wait until you have all the pieces of the puzzle because you cannot afford to let the criminal act happen," he said.

"When we go early to protect the community, it gives us an opportunity to make sure we gather all the necessary evidence."

Security measures at Australia's major airports were heightened last week after police received information about the alleged bomb threat.

The move prompted lengthy passenger queues that snaked outside terminal doors as travellers were urged to arrive hours before their flights.

However, following advice from ASIO that there was no longer an active threat to the aviation industry, some security measures would be eased, Mr Turnbull said.

People should follow the directions of their airline, he added.

"There will be continued enhanced security measures. Some of them will be visible to travellers, some of them will not," he said.

 

It is understood that British and US spies fed information about the alleged bomb plot to their Australian counterparts.

That came after communication was intercepted between members of the alleged Sydney terrorist cell and Islamic State operatives in Syria.

Police then launched the dramatic counter-terrorism raids on Saturday evening.

Investigators are now looking closely at the background and associations of those involved, who were little more than a blip on the terrorism radar before last week.

Khaled and Abdul Merhi are understood to be related to Ahmed Merhi, who was once viewed as an active recruiter for IS in Syria, where he has been based since 2014.

However Abdul Merhi's lawyer, Moustafa Kheir, said it was "unfathomable" his client would be associated with such a terrorist plot.

"A lot of information was divulged, including his identity," he said on Wednesday.

"That's caused a lot of damage to him. We want to review all the information police had and what basis they had to do what they did."

Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways, the group's alleged target, issued a statement on Tuesday saying it was helping police with the investigation.

Traveler Andrew Wilkinson says that he requested to move, but was left in discomfort for the duration of the 11-hour British Airways flight.

A passenger on an 11-hour British Airways (BA) flight from London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR) has revealed that he was forced to sit in a urine-soaked seat for the duration of his journey to South Africa. Andrew Wilkinson, who was traveling from LHR to Cape Town on the 4th of August, related the details of the incident to the Daily Mirror.

“I got to my seat and saw that there was a wet patch. It was about the size of two decks of cards laid side by side. At first I thought it was water but the smell was so distinct it could only have been urine,” the 39-year-old IT consultant said.

“I told the stewardess and she smelt it and agreed it was wee [urine]. She said: ‘Sorry about that’. Then she went to the toilet and brought me seat wipes and told me to clean it up myself,” he added.

In light of his discomfort, Wilkinson said that he then requested to be moved to business class. The member of flight crew said that she would try to accommodate his request, but Wilkinson told the outlet that he remained in his wet seat for the rest of the journey.

“So I was left to sit in a urine-soaked seat for over 11 hours when I paid £1,242 ($1,601) for a return flight with BA. It was awful. By the end of the flight, I could feel it seeping into my jeans,” he said.

Wilkinson filed a complaint with the carrier over the incident, but was not happy with the compensation offered. “I was given 5,000 Avios points and I just do not think that is a good enough compensation for sitting in someone else’s wee for over 11 hours.”

Commenting on the situation, a spokesperson for the carrier was quoted as saying, “We were very concerned to hear about this and have been in touch with our customer to apologize and make amends. The cleanliness of our aircraft is of the utmost importance to us and our planes are cleaned thoroughly after every flight.”

Something not right here.......could have happened.  Having said that, the story says "when he got to his seat there was a wet patch".  Now I assume when he got to his seat they were still the ground.  This is an easy fix and would have taken all of 10 minutes.  If, for some crazy reason this wasnt noticed until they were up in the air, all they had to do was swap cushions if they flight wasnt 100% full.  Maybe it was I dont know. 

But I am telling you, its a simple fix on the ground........

I know you are familar with "Vomit Class" PD but "Pee Pee" class????

A passenger on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Dhaka was restrained by cabin crew after allegedly stripping naked, masturbating and attacking a flight attendant.

The man, from Bangladesh, reportedly had to be tied up after he removed his clothes and became aggressive when he was told to put them back on again, The Star reported.

Other passengers on the Malindo flight told the New Straits Times the man had begun acting strangely soon after the plane departed from Kuala Lumpur, when he took off his clothes and masturbated while openly watching a pornographic film on his laptop.
