So how about this one....
I'm flying LAX-PEK (CA first), then PEK-CAN (CA FIRST, though really biz), then CAN-BKK on TG Biz cause there is no first, then BKK-CNX Biz as there is no first..... 30 hours! from start to finish, though really just having dinner in CNX as I go to HKT at noon the next day (no award availability out of BKK)
Now for the interesting part, when I log in to select meals on Thai's royal first meal res page, it lists my CA PEK-CAN flight as selectable (though I won't bother as I know the meal won't get there!), and under class it shows Royal First...... even though it cleary shows the CA flight number not TG.
Now the Award ticket is a First Ticket, as for how it is booked through I have no clue..
So the question is, since on the current journey to get to my first destination I started with F, do you think they would let me in, knowing that I couldn't go F the rest of the way.....
At least I have F to PEk on the way back, but don't think I will fully enjoy it at 8am for a 10am flight....
