Unless your travel desk gets you Q or above, dont fly TG.

Another option is ...after ticketing a W-fare through your travel desk, can you possibly call Thai and re-issue in Q-class. Dont know if TG allows that kind of stuff...they may charge a penalty....so, it may not be worth your while.
Oh.. this is the deal breaker for me.. I did some dummy ticketing from our corp agent site and seems TG flights from CCU have W class availabilty even if ticketing only 3-4 days in advance.. this means no miles regardless of ffp..
On the other hand, 9W gives me 100% miles on all available classes ( other than G).. I guess should go with 9W based on the above..
