Would be most grateful for any advice from a kind person on this forum.
We are able to get seats from 3 separate points of origin - namely LHR/OSL/CDG.
From which of these airports are we likely to experience the TG service at it's best? Taking into account Airport Lounges/Aircraft/Seats/Config etc.
Also - will TG permit pre-seating for Miles-ticket customers in the upstairs cabin on a 744?
Thank you in advance for any help.
My pick would be LHR in the 744, which consistently has this aircraft. Other routes can suffer equipment changes at short notice.

Pre-allocation is possible if using THAI ROP miles, but might also be possible if sourcing from other airlines. Second pick would be on a route served by 777-200ER (Thai's code is for this type is, rather mystifyingly, 777-200/300). The 777-200ER C seat is better than the B744 or A345/6, which is a different design

Cheers, TK
