I did not find the J price worthwile and hoped for a light load.
All went fine I must say: normal cabine bag, checked in 2 bags as *A gold, got directed to TK lounge!, no buffet but choice of 8 meals from menu, very nice staff.
Asked for 4 middle seats, got them back of the plane seats 50.
Normal Y service on board, hot meal, wine, excellent quality.
I remember light trans Atlantic flights in my younger years where I could enjoy the 3 middle seats on B747/200 and had back pain from metal bars.
The 4 seats of this LX B777/300 were deliciuous (no you cant eat them...)
Excellent service, saw drink cart passing by a few times, water and snacks at the gallery.
Reading what TK is offering now in J I very well might fly LX whenever I will be able to terurn to my home in Thaliand.
I will defintely not pay for such a lousy service with TK....
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts.
For the reference, all outstation TK lounges ( with the exception of VKO - if I'm not wrong ) are operated by third-party companies and TK only holds a share of them and the naming rights. That's why both the BKK and IAD lounges are open at this time.
