FRA should have gound services to meet passengers. A few weeks ago was met by FRA ground services. BRU is a different story, a gaggle of people meet the plane, but no one is interested in F passengers.

The ground handling in FRA is not done by TG directly. I am not sure if it is FRAPORT, but defenitely a 3rd party. The agents carry a tag saying "Premium Servce" and not wearing TG uniforms.

When I asked the purser why the movies were not the current ones, he said it was normal, because they only changed them after the 10th of the followinng month.
Either he doesn't have a clue or he tried to BS me.
Either way I told him to .... off and keep on licking the arse of the TIP's sitting next to me.

Since no one knowledgable has answered this yet I guess I'll give it a go...
From reading this board I think it refers to some kind of big-wig (or perceived big-wig) in the Thai world who obnoxiously demands more service than others and even has seats blocked for them in F on the chance that they might want a seat on that flight. I'm guessing the acronym is a take on VIP and stands for "Thai Important Person".
Am I right?
