I find this a very busy flight schedule for just 3 aircraft. 10 flights to Paris and 7 flights to Tokyo --- and don't forget they need to (should, at least) take the planes out of service for almost one day for maintenance checks every week...
I think the TG aircraft lottery will be especially active on the 77W routes !

Nice surprise.
I just called TG now to book seats for CDG-BKK-CDG for a few flights coming up.
Very surprised to be told "there's no upper deck" when trying to ask for the lower.
So - fantastic - 9A on all flights. I hope this pans out, although the C class 747 was never really a problem, except for the crummy upper deck.

I'm on TG640 BKK-NRT on Feb 17th in F. What are the odds of two successful stand-bys onto TG676? If it matters, this is a *A award.
I guess I'll just have to watch the seat counter and see what it looks like the day-of. Most reports I've read have said the reporting pax was alone in the F cabin (at least on the TK-leased 9w 77ws), so I'm holding out hope.
There is only one F award availability for 676 that day according to ANA.

Checked my booking for BKK/CDG/BKK in July and it has been substituted to a 777-300.... So happy I will get to try the Jet Airways First. Looking for the seatmap but it seems they are not showing the updated seatmap on the website. If someone has a link that works on the TG website, please share.

I have just managed to book an award in August including CDG-BKK and also NRT-BKK. Both are currently scheduled as 77W.
If there is an infamous TG swap I am probably at high risk due to the fact I am flying TG931 on 13/08, the day when there are 2 CDG-BKK flights.
Nevertheless I am very happy
and I'm hoping TG doesn't change their minds and swap these aircraft to different routes.
I flew TK F BKK-IST last September and the cabin was fantastic. The seats were amazing and I loved the mood lighting and the stars on the ceiling. That flight however, was a let down due to the poor TK service (and I was the only F pax). I'm really looking forward to flying this cabin with TG FA's ^

.I wonder where TG will put the AI 77W's (with 4 seats in F)? Will they be run on 2-class routes and kept as 2-class, put on current 2-class routes with a small demand for F or will they be put on current 3-class routes that have low demand in F and rarely fill all seats.

What I meant was the changes in Summer is being carried on in Winter, thus a default schedule.
