Philippine Airlines vs. Delta

Philippine Airlines

My flight from Bangkok to Los Angeles was completely packed and the seats were tiny. This is arguably not the airline's fault but the layover in Manila was one of the worst I've had. You are herded from one queue to another for hours, surrounded by a crowd of people at all times.

Delta

Because life is a nightmare

My experience of this was that the way that Philippine airlines is, is just a glimpse into what the rest of the country is like 🤷🏻‍♀️ (a shit show)

Once when I flew Delta airlines, I asked if it was possible to be upgraded to first class. The person working there told me I was entitled and made me cry, so I was sobbing in economy instead. lmfao --- I need to add context: no I didn't say anything weird or ask that I be upgraded for free or anything. I literally just asked if it would be possible to upgrade me on this flight, that's it lmfao

    Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and its biggest city. It sits along the Chao Phraya River in central Thailand, spreading out over a large area with nearly 9 million people living in the city itself and over 17 million in the surrounding region. It’s a place that mixes old traditions with modern life. On one side, you’ve got ancient temples like Wat Pho and Wat Arun, and on the other, you’ve got massive shopping malls and skyscrapers. The city has been around for a long time, starting as a small trading post in the 15th century. It became the capital in 1782 when King Rama I moved it to the eastern bank of the river. Over the years, Bangkok has seen a lot—colonial pressures, modernization, political protests, and economic growth. It really took off in the 1980s and 1990s when foreign companies started setting up shop there. Bangkok is known for being busy and full of life. The streets are packed with cars, motorbikes, and tuk-tuks, which often leads to heavy traffic. Despite efforts to improve public transportation with skytrains and subways, traffic jams are still a common headache. The air can get polluted, but things have improved since the 1990s. Tourism plays a huge role in the city. People from around the world come to see places like the Grand Palace or enjoy the street food. Markets like Chatuchak and floating markets offer everything from clothes to local snacks. Khao San Road is popular with backpackers, full of budget hostels, bars, and street vendors. The city has a vibrant culture. Festivals like Songkran (Thai New Year) turn the streets into massive water fights, and during Loi Krathong, people float little boats with candles on the water. Bangkok also has a wild nightlife scene, ranging from lively bars to well-known red-light districts. There are two sides to Bangkok—modern malls, luxury hotels, and fine dining on one side, and narrow alleyways with street food stalls and local markets on the other. It’s a city that can feel overwhelming with the heat, traffic, and crowds, but it’s also full of energy, surprises, and contrasts.
