Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus - BKK-SIN F availability

Does TG operate first class on BKK-SIN route (A340 and B777 metal)? I'm looking on United.com for award availability and all I'm seeing is business class.

2 class service only however somewhere else on this forum is a thread saying 1 specific flight nr per day will feature F.

I was seeing F on one flight daily after May 1. It was a 346 IIRC.

TG413/414 is operated with A346, but TG seem to have pulled all F availability.

TG does that a lot on short haul.

Confirmed. They downgraded my F about a month ago i think.

What can one expect from TG on short haul C like BKK-SIN?

Basic TG biz class service. But still better than american carriers..

Meal. Dessert on trolley. The usual. Nothing to rave about.

I prefer SQ or even CX on this short route.

Better than american carriers is selling them way short. BKK-SIN is a pretty short flight, pretty decent service. Better if you get the new J seats and not the old recliner style A333 ones.

Thank you, I have never flow TG and am looking forward to it. I think it was be new J seats as it is a 777.

Considerably more expensive, too, since C class space is not a complimentary elite upgrade on TG/SQ flying SIN-BKK as opposed to UA flying SFO-DEN (a comparable route).

TANSTAAFL. Though I suppose if one has the money to pay a multiple of a coach fare, one is worried about comfort, not price...

The arguable oversupply of C space on shorthaul intra-Asian routes does make for lots of award space, though. (35k UA miles for HKG-SIN-DPS-BKK-HKT-HKG
is a screaming mileage bargain.)

Amen to that. I cashed in 35k for a BKK-CGK-SIN-HKG-BKK-USM award and i'm eyeing up a BKK-KUL-SIN-DPS-BKK swing to jam in the middle of a JFK-ICN-BKK-SYD-BKK-NRT-ORD-LGA itinerary later in the year.

Meal. Dessert on trolley. The usual. Nothing to rave about.And worst of all, whenever I flew this route, the crew seems to feel unreasonably rushed, first drink out less than 15 mins after take-off, whole thing ended after 35 mins. Really, every time. However, on the way back they seemed a little bit more relaxed.

F.R.

If you do get the 773, I recommend the first row (bulkhead). It has signficant extra pitch.

I find TG serves drinks quicker than SQ out of the gate. Otherwise I prefer SQ on this route.
