Hi, I hope the following information will be helpful.
Usually, CI's AMS-BKK-TPE v.v. is operated by its second generation 744s (14F). You will get the
old first class seat which has 83" pitch and 180 degree fully flat bed. The IFE system is not the newest "Fantasy Sky." You only have a small 6" PTV and no AVOD system. I personally think the old first class seat is good and soft enough to sleep.
The chanse to get the newest equipment (12F) on this route is rare. Probably 5-10% I think. If you get it, you are lucky.
The new first class seat has personal space and, of course, 180 degree fully flat bed. The IFE is the Fantasy Sky AVOD system, and you will have a
15" PTV.
You may call CI's reservation center to confirm what type 744 will be operated for your flight. Enjoy it.
