I guess the main question I have is regarding the service to expect, both on the ground and in the air. As it is a shorter / regional type length (4hour, 40 min) instead of a long-haul, is there any differentiation in service?
First class check in?, buggy to lounge / spa?, buggy to gate?, type of meal service to be expected (caviar and champagne....or tea and sandwich...lol)? My itin from United indicates "no meal service" for this flight, which I find hard to believe...
If you are departing BKK in F, regardless of award or rev ticket, you will able to use the F check in, expedited immigration, F lounge, 1 hour spa etc. I don't think TG serves caviar on the shorter flights, but you will have champagne (though not Dom). Others can comment on the food.

Flight departs at 10:10, so I would probably want a massage around 7:30 or 8:00. Not sure if this is a peak time or not.
Thanks again for all info and assistance provided. If you are ever stuck on UA, I would be happy to return the favor.
When you arrive at the F lounge you can schedule the massage. It's not able to be done ahead of time.
