Reason I mention boarding is that I find this a scramble where if you travel First you don't get anything special so while the onboard service is nice and the lounge is nice, the boarding procudure is a scrum.
Last time we flew in TG F from BKK, we were escorted through security (the operatives holding up the hoi polloi to allow us to pass), and then down to the gate. The gate area was empty , we walked down the airbridge onto the plane and they shut the door behind us No scrum, no panic, just how I like it
