Ahh ok. That makes sense. I was just hoping that they would load the winter timetable and both flights out from Melbourne would have the new ER. Oh well, one can dream.

I was so excited when I read that the timetable was finally loaded. I got an email from United too, thinking there would be an A/C change.

It's funny because at the start of the year I did a flight from KIX-BKK initially scheduled for a 777-200. 2 week's before the ER seat map showed and I was so excited. I was even more stoked when I found HS-TKU, the first contemporary concept design interior plane at the gate. The colors make the cabin feel cramped though.

Sometimes I do think that they make changes to ensure a lottery system though. Why would you suddenly change the design of your new fleet halfway through receiving it???!! I think they want to be inconsistent.

Well the one thing you can be fair to them on is that they don't advertise their new first seats or the business seats on the 787 or B777-300ER on their website, it is still all the older product. So if someone has been looking at the website before booking it would be a surprise to get the flat bed seats.

I am still hopeful on the Melbourne route as they have gone to both flights with the 777-300ER at the moment. And I still don't believe the winter schedule has been fully loaded in to the GDS. Saying that I don't reckon Thai themselves know.

Is it true that the C seats in bed mode on the 77W are as much as a foot longer than on the A380? I've flown on the TG A380 in C and at 6'2" the seat was simply too short for me. Now that I've got 3 SYD flights downgraded from 747 F to 77W C, I'm trying to figure out whether to stick with it or switch to Air China or another option. I'd rather have a cradle seat that I fit in than a flat bed that's too short.

Also, does anyone know if the seats or footwell are narrower in row 12 (12A/12K) due to the curvature of the fuselage at that point?

Incidentally, I have a SYD-BKK at the end of March that is still showing as 747F - I guess the winter schedule ends March 26th, so those changes are still TBD in theory.

The TG 77W is great in business class. I'm quite tall too and had no problems sleeping in the seat, I didn't find the seat too short.

I have been in 11B and 12A on the 77W. The seats are the same as the other C seats; no curvature of the fuselage.

F class offered PEK-SYD December 10th - March 4th.

TG Australia do make some effort to tell agents what they can expect for their clients, http://www.thaiairways.com.au/static..._Oct_14_V2.pdf

however that is wrong fairly regularly.

Sounds like Thai.

The issue with CA is the number of occasions that folks have had F reservations cancelled by persons unknown by hacking into reservations. I have the option to rebook with CA for my LHR-SYD trip over Christmas and the New Year, but I would rather cancel the trip altogether and look at rebooking it later in 2015 when the service goes back to 747's than risk booking CA.

I am the person behind airlineroute...

Regarding CA, since that's seasonal adjustment, it was not on my priority list to post it on airlineroute ASAP.

Love that it has the 787 for Perth marked as "A787-800"...

wheresmybagba

It also has the wrong J seats listed for 747s.
