TG 471 does this have a refurbished first class?
I just booked TG 471 which is a 747-400 BKK to SYD. I did see they have a few flights with just the "747"- which has the new first class, or is it hit or miss?
Thanks a lot

That is horrible news ! I booked the 747-400 however the next day I see availability on flight TG 475, is there any way I can confirm the seat map of flight 475? I would really like to try the new F. Thanks so much

We have seats 2 E & F.
So I'm guessing the old F has less privacy? And I meant horrible as in, I booked one thing thinking I was getting that but got another thing - ugh lol

a bit less changes recently from my experience. they are more stable and predictable

Not long ago 471 got quite a lot of new F. This month I saw a few times maybe 3-4 so you might be lucky.
Even if old F, I prefer to fly day time so I keep booking 471. I could never sleep well on 475 as it might take at least 4-5 hours after take off then get only a few hours before they wake me up again. My favorite is 476 leaving SYD around 10am and new F but I do see old F showing up from time to time.

only for the night flights when I would like to sleep I prefer the privacy of suites!

I don't mind old F but would prefer new F at any time. I like F on A380 best even if people complain about privacy. New F on 747 looks a bit worn out now.

I also think the A380 suites are a bit better than the ones on 747

At the end of the day, old F or new F are both fine.

The 14 F cabins were still full flat - just arranged in pairs. 1st generation full flats. The other F seats (which were on the MD-11 for example) had fully horizontal legrests and deep recline.
