Hi there,

Have flown TP a lot in the last year and must say it is quite regular. Basic would say.

Here are my marks:

* Terrible uncomfortable seats
* Old planes
* Lazy crew
* Basic, very regular catering
* Expensive tickets
* No customer service
* Delays

C class Europe:

* Very expensive tickets
* C class the same as economy
* Pitch very narrow
* No welcome drink, no entertainment on board, no headphones, no help from the crew, no newspapers...
* Food quite good, but depend on time of departure.
* Crew unhelpful and staying in the galley almost all flight
* No real customer care
* Delays on arrival (15 mins to desembark and a lot of times in an outside position, then bus, then walking.....)

Not sure if you gonna like it, but I heard C class interconti is slightly better in catering, but far away from LH, LX, OS, IB, KL in service.

I do not think the bonus miles for enrollment will count towards Gold status
