Thai Regional Business
Mrs. Trizzil and I will be flying on a J reward on the following routes: DPS-BKK, BKK-HKT, and HKT-HKG. What can we expect/look forward too (meals, service, etc...)? Our BKK-HKT is scheduled for a 747. We have no status. Is there anything we can do to get a seat in the F section? Thanks in advance.

I did the BKK-HKT-BKK in business a few years back both on a 744 with first class seats. On the flight to HKT they didn't open the first class cabin. On the way back they did and our business seats became first class. I don't know they chose us to be in first because I don't have any status and there were lots of other passengers in the business section too. I think I checked in online very early or checked the seats online and saw that my flight that was supposed to be on a 773 was changed to a 744. It was awesome even if it was for a little over an hour. I think it was just luck of the draw.

Regional flights: full meal (nuts and drinks, appetizer and salad, main course, cheese plate, dessert and coffee). You may also refer to the bottom of post #2 in my trip report: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...-first-tr.html

Arriving early for check in and asking for them, seems to work as well as all our gimmicks. The C cabin is spacious and quiet, the main plus for international travellers is the increase in baggage allowance and when you are on the move, you don't need a problem there, have a good flight
