"Give a hungry man a fish, he isn't hungry for a while. Teach a man how to fish and he's never hungry again." (or something like that. So, what does that have to do with your posting? Simple - I'm going to tell you how to look up the equipment on your LAX-BKK then you and others can apply this knowledge to other flights. 1. Low tech way: call the airline 2. high tech ways (at least two ways!) a. Go to the airilne's web page (use google.com or justplanes.com to locate the web page) b. use a reservations system such as orbitz.com or travelocity.com 3. lazy way - ask on this list, which, if you follow #1 or #2 above, you will never do. As for the photography question: that's a good question for this list, in addition to doing research on it by using google.com (use such terms as aircraft photography bangkok). Unfortunately, I don't know about photography in Thailand or Hong Kong There is also a site called planespotting.com that can help (located this through google.com) No, I don't work for google.com - I just find it is the best search engine available. If it's on the web, it's in google.com David R > Leaving next Friday for my first trip to Asia.
