I did TG476 up from SYD last week and realised it was my first TG F flight for almost six months, which would have been unheard of over the last few years when I averaged 15-20 flights a year.
It was the new nine seat F cabin 744 but unfortunately three of the nine seats were out of action, so it was handy that there was only four of us in F. The seat I was it wouldn't let us kill the lights either so it was effectively four out of nine not working properly.
I do like the new PJ's, much better than both the gawdy 'pink' ones and the later light blue ones. For those who haven't seen these latest ones they are a darker blue and the tops have three buttons. The little pouch they come in is pretty cool. It was the day after the Kings Birthday so no special food menu but they have got a Guest Champagne, or 'Special Champagne on December 2013' which is Dom Ruinart 2002. Amazingly they had a few bottles of this as well as plenty Dom, which is good for TG as they are great at advertising drinks they don't have. Silver Rimowa Amenity kits were handed out and I heard other pax ask is they had any other colours, which they didn't.
I have to say the crew was one of the best I have ever had on TG, mainly because they all seemed to be in a fabulous mood for some reason rather than none or the odd one or two.
All in all a great flight, spoiled slighty by arriving at a remote gate, although they did pile those of us in F on a separate bus.
