    Two? - Nope...


    But THREE! - Yes, you heard it here first. 3 napkins. Folded.

    Oh, and they have blue lighting in there which reminds me of LH's Foilet for some reason.


    Blue Mirror - Okay then

    Elements of LH to be seen, then.

    Now seems a good time to juxtapose toilets between F and J. As you all know, toilets are something close to the hearts of me and Dent@SUB, but not so much MANFlyer (so he can skip this part)


    Joilet Pic #1 - Has accents of gold that EK would be proud of


    Joilet Pic #2 - Has a wood trim that SQ would be proud of

    So we can conclude TG took the best elements out of three carriers and somehow lumped them together. I submit to you, that of all the Foilets, TG's is the most boring by far.


    We'd had enough. Time to land as we were already over BKK by this point after prancing around from cabin to cabin.

    Some miscellaneous shots:


    Main IFE Homescreen - With animations as you move from option to option (touchscreen-enabled)


    3-point Belt Harness - Really annoying and it takes the cabin crew forever to check if everyone's buckled in

    Sorry for the last hasty shot that was a bit blurred.

    In conclusion, there's nothing more to say, really. We landed, we disembarked and and had to fight our way through the massive crowd only to find TG J fast track had been removed in BKK. (it was still there 7 days prior!!)

    Used the priority lane anyway and showed my J BP, and was let through by the immigration officer with a knowing glance.

    Thanks for reading! I had fun and TG's 388 is THE most silent way to fly, for now. Smoothest, well... that's subjective



    TR done!

      I've seen many photographers do gymnastics trying to get that special shot, but this is a first! Well done!

      Thanks for the TR!

        I took about 16 shots in the toilet. Man, that was hard (especially after a meal)... damn!

        I go to great lengths for you guys, you know...

                      But THREE? In one airplane bathroom?

                      Methinks they ran out of ideas about how to decorate the sparse toilet.

                      I'd have personally suggested a nice painting of the Bangkok skyline, much like the EK toilets. Or at least some Thai-inspired wallpaper to make you feel like a King/Queen when you're (literally) 'on the throne'.

Quite amazing to hear the difference in sound as soon as we lift off. (Plus, you get a bonus few seconds of seeing some commentary between me and kapitan). Will upload that later.
                        This video is now available:
