Flight 1:
13th August
Paris (CDG) - Bangkok (BKK)
Thai Airways (TG931)
First class
Departs: 13:40 (13:55 actual)

B777-300ER
This flight was the best flight I have had so far with *A. I would never have thought that TG F would beat my favourite LX F but on this occasion it did, thanks to the two enthusiastic FA's.
On boarding the plane I took my seat 1A and looked around to see only one other passenger in F. I assumed there would be more as this flight was showing as F: 4 the day before but at 13:40 the doors were locked and we started to push back. It's such a great feeling when you realise the load on F is low and you will almost have the whole cabin to yourself.
Today we would be served by a two very nice FA's who constantly went out of their way to make me happy. Everything was done with a smile and they were so warm and friendly as well as being efficient. For me the warmth and friendliness of cabin crews is the most important thing that makes a good F flight. If I were to compare the service on today's flight to any other F flights I would compare it to my most recent SIN-LHR SQ F flight although the service felt much warmer and genuine than on SQ F where I often feel I am being served by a very efficient robot.
Anyway, continuing.....
Upon boarding I was offered a glass of champagne with nuts which I gratefully accepted. The FA made sure that the Dom label was facing me as he poured it which I always think is a nice touch.
We pushed back and taxi'd to the runway. China Eastern A330 next to us:
