You may well be disappointed.

TG is amazing on the ground, in Bangkok. They're quite good on the ground in Hong Kong and in a few other places.

In the air they are hugely inconsistent. Service ranges from mediocre to truly excellent, I've experienced both.

The seats are fine, not actually up to world standard. Very little privacy is afforded, and you need to ask for an extra blanket so as to use one as a mattress pad. Food is generally 'ok' for international F. Though they've brought back caviar IMHO it's a bit of a lower grade than I prefer.

All my worries/complaints about TG go out the window, however, when I consider the wonders of starting out a journey with the F spa. And being met in BKK (and HKG) on arrival with the golf cart.

SQ is just so much better and higher standard in the air. Ground services don't compare, of course.

There are several private rooms. Sometimes a few will have reserved signs on them, for royalty/government officials/military brass. Or the chance that such may come by. But I've never had a problem being given a private room. Do note, however, that the F lounge is explicitly not for Star Golds, the Royal Silk lounge is available for *Gs...
