From LHR-BKK-LHR, TG F is (generally) a real bargain these days. c£2400 all-in for a r/t is excellent value and credits 300% miles to BDs DC (until it becomes Miles & Less of course. I fly TG F on a mixture of paid (by me/the business I own) or redeem from DC miles. Flat bed, Dom or Bolly, decent catering, nice service and no connection - yes please! It offers a better service/product/price ratio IME than other direct, non-stop F options (e.g. Brit Air, QF). Still, the less pax that agree with this all the more seats (at these prices) for me ^......and yes I AM prepared to suffer the potential (tho unlikely) equipment swaps that get mentioned here sooo much. On many r/t on this route I honestly haven't had this happen....yet
