However, the boarding procedure was poor both at Sydney and BKK; at SYD they used the gate next to SQ and SQ was so well organized.
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
