I really hope they do, coz I would rather prefer the lie flat over the angled and old seats. Thai really need to pick up there game. I also have a connection to DEL from BKK in the old a330. So not looking forward for that in business.

I liked the quote: " A Thai Airways spokeswomen told Australian Business Traveller that it’s “not clear which days which aircraft will operate – it could be any day”."
Glad to see that TG staff are as confused as its passengers at times.

I flew this 2 days ago....
Seats are good - A little too short for me at 6'5".
The crew seemed like they were figuring things out - Service was a little off.
Good flight regardless - And much better than old J.

this airplane flies now also to PEK. I have a reservation this month and it shows 1-2-1 in J
and to SIN and back I flew with is last month
wonder why they use it on such short routes, while I would be happy I always had a 180 lie flat seat in J to Europe, USA or Australia

Rather than the 77W being idle at BKK for the whole day (after landing from one of the Scandinavian destinations in the early morning until the past midnight departures) it is better to use the aircraft on short/mid-range Asian routes during the day. The aircraft also flies frequently to HKT (and maybe CNX) during the day.
