.... taking advantage of such an obvious mistake like this smacks of cheapness, cruelty and a lack of class.

But Matt, we are talking about THAI 'First Class' ..... this is not a USA airline involved here. Hell even the guy that runs the COUNTRY is 'cruel' to these guys.
Their own Thailand Prime Minister said .... "It sucks" ... "It's terrible"
Thai PM: National airline 'sucks'
Thailand's Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has sharply criticised the country's national airline in an interview with a local newspaper, describing it as "terrible".
"If I were not a public figure, I wouldn't fly with Thai. It sucks."
Mr Thaksin slammed Thai Airways International for its high ticket prices, uncomfortable seats and poor service.
The airline's top executive agreed with him, saying improvement were needed.
Prime Minister Shinawatra told the Bangkok Post in its Thursday edition that he was "very happy" when he was not able to get a seat on the carrier.
"Business class on other airlines is better than Thai's first class. Our fares are also higher," he said.
Thai Airways president Pisith Kusalasaiyanond admitted the comments were justified in an interview with local radio, saying the facilities needed to be improved.
