FRA-BKK 923 switched to 777-300
So our FRA to BKK on 12/27 is now showing 777-300 instead of 747-400. We are booked in First so I'm guessing this is a good thing as it will be a 3-cabin correct? I'm hoping that Thai doesn't put 2 cabin planes on this route?
I've called and they say it is the "Jet Airways" configuration (my words, not theirs).
The flight is currently only selling Business, I'm guessing because of the reduction of F it is now sold out and Y is also sold out. So hopefully that is a good sign of non-cancellation.

You're very lucky because that's the configuration people used to get on BKK-CDG and it has the new "suites" in F. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

"...used to get on bkk-cdg..." ??
Do they still fly the new F cabins on the cdg route or is it the old F?
If I wanted to increase my odds of flying the new F cabin in march, should I pick one of the two flights to CD or go with the bkk-fra route?

People don't report daily what equipment they got and I don't fly it daily so I tried to cautiously say that the CDG sector has been getting that equipment in the past. No forward-looking statement intended.
As far as the OP goes, he won the TG lottery on this one

Hi there,
Just flew TG - BKK -FRA / F Class -1A on Dec8th
Had a great flight - If you are flying F class - its a Suite - you can check it out on 9W website- TG leased it from 9W.
Cheers

Great F class
I had the opportunity to enjoy this F class too, BKK-FRA. I was so surprised, had not heard of this configuration before. I wish I could have this on all night flights because the seat must be ideal for sleeping. I only quickly tried full flat mode, and found out the seat/bed is so wide that I think I could even sleep in freefaller position. Fantastic!

Edit: Interestingly KVS shows the BKK-MUC flight as 773 from 25 March onwards...but pulls up a 744 seatmap. TG website shows 744 as well. But I wonder if it's a sign of things to come.
