Sorry! I should have explained it better!
I do book on Thais website...the only trouble is, when I book economy with them, for me to get seat 76A...it involves me mailing "Optiontown", to try to get that particular seat! Its not possible to book all seats on Thais website in economy. The "reserved" economy seats, have to be booked via optiontown.....which is very frustating! As you wont know for sure if you can actually book the seat you want!
For my next trip in September...I will "treat" myself by flying business with Swiss Air and Lufthansa.
