Bangkok gets whatever fleet planning feel like when they're building the schedules and then whatever the Flight Ops Controller in DOH feels like on the day, so it might be B777 now but could be anything from an A330 to an A380 come January.
Yes, we were switched from BA to QR back in March and initially, 777 with Q-Suite to Doha and then non-Q on a 330 to BKK. Nearer the time, we received an aircraft change notification from EF with Q-Suite to BKK and we were lucky enough to get the double bed seats in row 1 for both sectors. It was funny changing in Doha though as with a very short connection time, we didn’t bother going to the lounge and just waited at the gate, which felt suspiciously close to where we’d just disembarked. Boarding soon commenced and sure enough, it was the same aircraft and same seats and beautifully clean too! You might be lucky…
