I've been noticing it too but find it to be time of day-based. Evening departures get it even on short hauls like SGN, but the rest of the day champagne is only offered on long husk departures. I know this conflicts with what had been noted earlier but I hope resurrecting this can result in some more concrete information.

Not at all!
Flying in F from BKK to HKG and return last month I couldn´t bellieve that they served Dom on both legs, thus a couple of days apart, one trip in 747 the other one in 380. I wasn´t quite settled the bottle came to my face and I was "forced" a glass

Another quick Q: I remember reading a few years back that they only load 1 or 2 bottles of Dom? Is that true - I get real thirsty when I fly! ^

BTW: This is my 10,000th post.
BTW2: Nice flight with a good female and male FA but the flight director was a pompous jacka$$ who came around toward the end of the flight pretending to care about the pax and acting in such an obvious pandering style it was sickening.

They were liberally pouring yesteday afternoon leaving NRT but then I fell asleep for an hour and turned to Vodka/Soda for the remainder of the flight.

I am also flying this route in F on the A380 (just a little excited) and pleased the Dom was flowing well!
What was the food service like - the quality ex-NRT is generally fabulous. Whenever we fly LH in F from NRT, the food is great - am hoping TG is the same?
Finally, do you thinks it's worthwhile pre-ordering, or were the choices onboard the better option? I hope they have a Japanese offering?

I'm not a big fan of TG's food overall and after a few LH F longhauls and a quick OZ F segment I wasn't overly enthused about TG's offerings.
We were at 9/12 in the F cabin which was nicer than our previous experiences to HKG where we had 12/12 and 10/12.
The AVOD is quite vast but I felt like I was on UA with all the announcements (in Thai, Japanese and English)! I think the final 30 of flight had 10 minutes of announcements...

There was a fish dish, a green curry and another option which I don't remember at this time. I fell asleep after a few bites of my curry as 3 hours of sleep in the prior 40 hit me hard. The service was quite good mostly (the female FA understood my pique at not being able to taste alcohol in my cocktail and each refill was very nice thereafter).

How was your HKG->BKK flight? I am actually doing HKG-BKK in Dec, hope to do NRT-BKK later next year for holidays...
Food service, OK?

Not flown TG J in quite a while.
Did SIN-BKK the other evening no alcohol for PDB because it’s ‘not legal ex SIN ‘ told the Flight Manager that’s simply not true & asked her to file that as a complaint.
What a cheap airline, they won’t pay the tax...

If TG want to be cheap in J ex SIN that’s up to them & for pax to vote with their tickets, telling Lies to hide their stinginess is unacceptable......... at least to me
