I can't see it being done from Luton as the runway is too small for large aircraft to operate the longer distance flights.

I work at Heathrow, and today on my way into work I was talking to somebody from Virgin. We were talking about holidays, and I said that maybe Virgin should consider operating to BKK; she said that it is very unlikely!

When I was in Patong in December I was waiting at the airport for my flight back to BKK. I noticed a 'MyTravel' aircraft (used to be Airtours) departing. I presume that this was heading back to the UK. It can't be a non-stop flight so I expect that they stop somewhere in the middle east (maybe Bahrain?)
