Another enjoyable trip in PE with Thai was over. Great crew on this flight! Out of batteries on my pocket camera, sp the rest of the pictures are taken with my iphone. Sorry about this....Så var den turen unnagjort, meget bra tur med Thai igjen må jeg si. Kjempecrew ombord på denne flyvningen også. Gikk tom for batteri på kameraet, så resten av bildene er tatt med Iphone 3GS. Beklager dette.....

Back in Norway!


LN-DYS @ Gate OSL:


Luggage came quickly, and after spending near 1000,- NOK at tax free, this trip is at its end. I had a great time, with some nice flights! Both Norwegian & Thai were great, and I will for sure fly this route again, as I have done many times before. (Without documenting it.... )

This concludes my Photo TR, Thank you very much for reading, questions & comments are always welcome.

Thanks for posting your very extensive trip report. To be honest, I feel you may have too many pictures, at least at this current size. It makes it hard to read, at least for me. For your next report, could I suggest either fewer pictures or smaller size?

Wow!

Thanks for the report and a lot of pictures!

I didn't realise that TG served a business class meal in their premium economy cabin - that is very nice!
I wonder if they serve a first class meal in the actual business class cabin on that route?

It's hard to believe that some people who pay for business have been stuck with those seats though on other routes when TG does an equipment swap - I would not be happy with that!

Thanks Again.^

Thank you CMK10, for reading -and constructive feedback of my TR....As for the pictures, i understand that it can be a problem if people have a slow/no hi-speed connection, (I`m blessed with a good line my self...and often forget that not everybody are...) so i will use your suggestion of smaller sized photos on my next TR.

Hi Flyingfox, and thank`s for reading! Yes, the TG PE service from ARN & CPH is close to what im used to be served on OSL-BKK in biz. The difference i guess, is the quality/age of brands on the drink list etc. (Remy XO in biz, to VSOP in PE, better wines etc.) The Business class cabin on the same routes, (ARN/CPH-BKK) feels even more "exclusive", than the PE class, but not near classic First Class service as you know it from TG. The size of the meals in Biz might be a little bit bigger, aswell that the service/attentionlevel from the crew is better.

Yes, i agree, the equipment swaps done on routes with the "newest" TG hard product, to the old one must suck....would`nt make me happy either....Allthough, (i guess...) when they done their refurbishing, on the 6 747 All Series Passenger AC`s with the old configuration, the chances are less .....Thank`s again!

Hi cattwl, and thank you for your feedback! Yes, the PE on ARN/CPH with old bizseats on the 747 gives you plenty legroom, and good service...Thank you for reading!

I just flew TG LAX-BKK and back in business class and the catering looked identical to what you had in PE. That's really impressive. TG is top notch in my book.

I enjoyed your report. I just got back from Chiang Mai too and many of your pics look like mine.

Thanks, excellent TR!
Im flying BKK-CPH in PE soon. Its a old version ride I've been told.
Im about to upgrade with points to C, but not sure about the cabin standard. Anyone with pics to share?
