flew TG return LHR - DPS (Bali) last month and was quite horrified when I boarded. i couldn't believe the pitch (about 45inches) and there was no legrest. i was upstairs and had been assured that the seat next to me to be blocked. (i had shown my *A gold card to TG in LHR) it wasn't and in fact of all the pax travelling alone up there i was the only one to have someone sittting next to me. i went to speak to the purser and when i said i had a gold card he said 'everyone does these days'!!!

anyway i moved downstairs and got a seat on my own. the one good thing about thai is that one can pull the drink tray out to make two seats into one so that i could stretch out and sleep. the food was ok and the service was impeccible as ever.

on the bkk - dps segment we flew on a 777 with 6 abreast 2-4-2 configuration!! the ammenity kits we fairly poor too.
