Does anybody know if they still pass out amenity kits on this flight? Leaves at like 8 in the morning and is only 6+hrs, not sure if that qualifies.
Thanks!

How does TG calculate its award flight distance?
http://www.thaiairways.com/en_IN/roy...ing_Miles.page
e.g PER-BKK-NRT as in distance from airports ? or PER-NRT direct?

First class on Thai airways a380 from Frankfurt
Hi, I was wondering which airline lounge I can use flying on Thai first class from Frankfurt to Bangkok.
Is the Lufthansa first class lounge (or even terminal) available? Or only the senator lounge? Or maybe the Singapore lounge in Frankfurt?
Thanks.

The first class terminal and first class lounges are only for Lufthansa passengers.

The LH senator lounge is usually the closest to the departure gate. It is not so bad but of course not on the level of a F lounge. Air Canada lounge is an alternative
Lufthansa, Swiss and SQ reserve their F lounges at their hubs exclusively for their own passengers. TG opens to others as well...(only the spa is exclusively for their own passengers)

Thank you. It was too good to be true, considering Thai has a much cheaper firstclass fare than Lh.
Maybe i should depart From CDG. I believe there is a dedicated Firstclass Lounge there for Star Alliance flights.

yes there is; a small section within the Star Alliance lounge. Drawback is that it is BEFORE security!

Hi. New to the Thai board and flying BKK-AKL rtn on the 777-200ER in business class. TG491 outbound is an overnight flight and inbound TG492 is a daylight flight.
4 of us travelling but my daughter will move around the cabin on crutches.
She would be better located in the centre section and seats 11EF or 16EF (front and back row of centre pair seats) are open for her and my wife on the outbound (my son and I will sit in nearby AB or JK seats as he likes the window).
A few questions:
- Are the toilets aft of door 2 business class or economy ie are the only business class toilets the ones at the front of the plane behind the cockpit?
- At BKK and AKL is boarding typically through door 1L or 2L?
- Does anyone have a view as to whether 11EF or 16EF would be the better option? All other centre seats are taken outbound but 15EF is available on the return in addition to 11EF and 16EF.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Boarding is usually through BOTH doors
11EF are typical bulkhead seats with limited storage for newspapers, magazines and stuff in the seat in front of you. screen is at the wall, but smaller than others
16EF is the last row, so for the deboarding you are usually the last passenger to get out
as for service some crews serve from front to back and others from back to front
for me personally I would choose 16EF
maybe this photo helps:
