TG476 out of SYD seems pretty solid for new F any time I check recent history.

Where do you check those? Is the new/old F alternating everyday?

flightradar24 and no it's not alternating, it's pretty much random

To all questions from the last 10 days. Reminder to all.

Read post #1. That has not changed.

If you want to know where do these birds fly, click on the registration number for each retrofitted plane in post #1, and see where they are usually flying.

MUC and SYD should get the retrofitted F but as many pointed out, with TG you never know 100%. This is what we call Thai roulette.

Welcome to the game.

Looks like HS-TGZ is active again. Mostly BKK-PEK this month with scattered HND, KIX and MUC services.

Hi ! Am thinking of redeeming first from Bkk to haneda on Thai ... Is half of Thais 747 fleet still on the non suites configuration? If that's the case then there is no way to see whether I will get the new or old first class on the 747

Yes half are suites, half not.

Looking at TG660 the last 5 flights...3 are with suites, 2 not. TG682 5/5 suites.

If you have a date in mind, make a dummy booking and pull up the seat map...9 seats = suites, 10 seats = non-suites.

Regardless, both are absolutely fine for this short trip.

I thought from the 6 747 without suites, not all are flying anymore?
