Who as OP says, was extremely polite and calm...

Clearly most of TG's tickets will not be sold at full fare. I realise they can not offer heavily discounted tickets early, but surely they can do better than full fare economy/business/first class prices. I am used to paying around THB 130,000biz class from BKK-Europe for the past few years.
There is at least one other direct flight to ZRH on LX... And well, you have to make your decision - either cost or comfort and perhaps loyalty.

Look, I would sometimes prefer flying QF (being my country's flag carrier), but never do. Reason? I get two business class tickets Australia - Europe and return on LH/SQ, LH/TG, LX/TG or even on TG for a cost of one on QF. No brainer for me. And yes, QF occassionally has discounted J too - but I usually need to plan long time ahead and am not prepared to wait if QF releases discounts or not...
