Originally posted by scooby5 View PostBooking TG649 a few weeks back it was noted as B787 on the website. Ten minutes later when getting tickets it changed to a A330 and today I got a new ticket changing it to a B773.
The flight is 5wks off so no idea all what can happen in the meantime yet.
Checking on Flightaware shows that ALL recent instances of the flight have been operated by the 787. Let's hope it goes back to that for your flight in 5 weeks.

While we enjoy a laugh at what is going on in Thailand these days with that f*ckwit currently in charge, especially some of the nonsense he spouts, the recent ICAO concern about safety in Thai aviation is not funny at all. They'll have real problems if the EU and US start getting twitchy:

Just having arrived at BKK they have a truly eye watering amount of widebody aircraft lying around on the tarmac near the maintenance area and hangars. No wonder they are bleeding cash. Still I am sure the military guys in charge now will sort it all out....
I see they have blamed the airports being too busy for the recent ICAO raised issues, so are talking about going back on certain open skies agreement to cut traffic.

Oddly, there was an article I read whilst flying last week that did also mention BKK as having passed or about to pass capacity limits, same as for HKG and ICN. To hear this is as an "excuse" is a slightly more credible one than others I've heard.
Have four TG flights coming up in June so.......wish me luck

Also, just completed SIN-BKK-FRA a few days ago, in J.
Both sectors were excellent. Crew were cheery, joking, communicating well, very helpful and absolutely no complaints.
I didn't want dinner on the second sector, after eating on the first, but I was keen to get the Roasted Duck Red Curry instead of the Omelette/Sausage option at breakfast and..... absolutely no problem, and very tasty.
Based on these flights I would definitely recommend TG. With the A380 starting the LHR in July it gives me another route for flying them......fingers crossed, then, for my return sectors in a couple of weeks.

Originally posted by SMK77 View PostI was on TG today from SIN to BKK and the service was absolutely top notch. Never seen a more hands-on, friendly, attentive cabin crew. Really amazing attention to detail!
Service element with people is definally there for Thailand. All they need is a good management team to save the company.
I see great protential with them.

I flew SIN-BKK-OSL return sometime back on TG and was a little disappointed overall; IFE was spotty and crew went missing for large chunks during the flight. There was quite a long wait for the crew to respond when I pressed the call button as well.

TG can be excellent on board, but they can also be absolutely dreadful. And with constant political interference, which is also what has ****ed MH, they are always up against it.Last edited by MAN Flyer; 10 June 2015, 05:40 PM.
