Good afternoon passengers. This is your captain Rashid Akbar speaking. First I'd like to welcome everyone on Flight BG 88. We are currently cruising at an altitude of 10058.40 feet at airspeed of 643.7376 km per hour. The time is 1:25 pm. The weather looks good and with the tailwind on our side we are expecting to land in Bangkok approximately fifteen minutes ahead of schedule. The weather in Bangkok is clear and sunny. The temperature is 32 degree Celsius for this afternoon. If the weather is good we should get a great view of the city as we descend. The cabin crew will be coming around in about twenty minute's time to offer you a light snack and drinks. The inflight movie will begin shortly after that. I'll talk to you again before we reach our destination. Until then, sit back, and enjoy the flight.
