The lav got something new. At least in the photo I can see that it's got a new mirror.

Shame. THAI has so much potential. I agree with the color coordination. it seems the color of seat cover was changed. In the initial design, it was beige not purple. Oh well!! what can I say???

Did you try opening the side wall (where the suite number is attached)? It seems that from the renderings, this is where the door is.
Opens but just a suit closet. Unfortunately there is no door to the suite.

Thank you for this report, it is much appreciated. I take it HS-TGY is the only 74N in service so far?

I see the three wire noise cancelling headphone socket.

Is there a way to use your own headphones in this seat?

I believe this is standard on all international airlines for years now.

While not EK or SQ suites still move in a right direction...

If it is 2 3.5 mm signal lines (L & R) and 1 2.5 mm power line (for the noise canceling), I can use a standard airline adapter (2 x 3.5mm).

I guess I'll find out in a couple of months.

Correct sir.
HS-TGZ is now at DMK for retro-fitted.

Rest are HS-TGA/B/F/G.

Thumbs down Claustrophobic
Just claustrophobic at least looking at the photos - all the disadvantages of a "suite" (what a stupid designation) without the benefits (sliding doors missing) . Prefer LX C anytime (except for the mileage accrual).

Looks great and a much needed improvement over the two kinds of previous F (on 747's).

Now if we can only hope for a consistent roll out across the various hardware we'd be so much happier.
