I booked my ticket from Missoula to Bangkok on June 11th with the intention of finding the best flight times, seats, etc. I found a ticket on Orbitz with EVA Airways for a very reasonable price ($1,030) so I booked it, selected my exit-row/window seats for the 13 hour flights (seattle-tapei) and good seats on the other flights. (missoula-seattle and tapei-bangkok)

So I figured I was set for my departure on September 30th... that was before I decided to double check my itinerary on Orbitz. I found out that some of my flights had been cancelled and I had been booked on alternative flights with 24+ hour layovers in Seattle and Tapei.

To make a long story short, I worked everything out and I now have the following itinerary. As for my seats.. I will be sandwiched in the middle section of a 747 between two fat farang pedophiles.
