Matthew,
Thank you for allowing me to participate in my first FT website glitch excitement, and then letting us know they wouldn't be honoured quickly enough that I could stop begging my unbelieving, inebriated London friend to collect the tickets for me before he had actually agreed to do so!

The irony was that it would have cost me 90,000 miles to get to LHR (First wasn't available) so that I could make the connections on TG. For about those same miles I could have flown straight to BKK.
But it would have been fun. And my friends at this point expect a good travel story out of me once in a while. Ever since I had a garage full of Nutrigrain bars...

Here's an idea!
Why doesn't everyone who was planning to go down to the London TG ticket office meet outside at 10:00am. We can call a couple of local newspapers to cover the story.
If it's a mob, who knows what you might get? A packet of peanuts?

My thanks also to Matthew and the others who offered help.
But having read up a bit on how truly awful Thai is these days I'm actually glad they are not honouring it so I don't have to decide whether 55 quid for TG F is better values than <lots more> for CX J. From what I read I am surprised that TG can sell their first class at any price!

I am shocked that Thai is not honouring these!!! 
Sarcasm aside, who really expected them to??
Well, another exciting day on FlyerTalk! Thanks for the rush...

Matthew- My most sincere thanks for both the "discovery" and the "update"!! Wish the news had been much, much different, but I'd still be pleased to buy you the beverage of your choice this coming November on the FT LHR MR.......
(seeing as how I missed you last November!)
Thanks again and best wishes, Dave

No doubt the TSA had something to do with TG not giving us each $10,000 - $30,000 worth of free tickets!
