Pay cheap prices you have to be flexible with delays and cancellations.

What do you expect with 'Made in China'! I have seen brand new Chinese built ships, copied from a template for ships built for a Singapore company in Korea, deteriorate to look like 10 year old vessels after only 2 years in service.

@ Logic

How does a Boeing 767 turn into "Made in China" ? Just because it happens to be carrying Chinese passengers ? What a profoundly illogical statement.

-"Logic- -Made in China"?-What you are ranting about? JET ASIA, is a Thailand based airline with a fleet of US built Boeing 767. http://www.flyjetasia.com/fleet/?language=english
