TG F handled everything. Baggage interlined on separate tickets checked all the way to final destination with CX.
As I checked in online for both legs, had to visit transfer desk in HKG to receive boarding and lounge passes. Was advised that they needed to key in the baggage tags into their system too as I checked in online.
Not sure how that works though..

according to this yes; if seperate ticket, it could be a problem as CX is quite restrictivehttps://www.thaiairways.com/en/Terms...e_partner.page

Correct, becasue you didn't need to go to the xfer desk as you already had your BPs in hand printed from the initial airline and within the record. If you only had a subset of BPs printed and needed to get more at a Xfer desk then you'd need to present your checked baggage stubs.

Does anyone have the contact information for Thai (Bangkok) I want to request the Lobster for my flight back to London on Saturday but the online service seems to not work and defaults back to the initial meal option. I've tried the email address on their website but its bounced back and the number doesn't work.
Thanks
Thanks

in case you call from abroad, put Country Code in front (66) and skip the 0

Need some guidance on redeeming ROP miles.
Is a stop over allowed in BKK for one way awards?
Having a quick read of the t/c on TG website, all sectors need to be confirmed before ticket is issued. Thus how we search award inventory?
Does TG release more seats to it's own members than star partners?

Dear Flyertalk members, would you guys help me with advice/suggestion? 
We will travel to Bangkok from Europe with QR and arrive in Suvarnabhumi Airport around 06:55.
We are planning to buy TG tickets to Jakarta which will depart in same day on 14:25, in J class.
There will be around 5 hours to kill so we have a plan to see Bangkok a little bit.
I think we can use self check-in kiosk and also deliver our baggages, can’t we?
If yes, how about the lounge invitation?
Is it possible to use our boarding passes as lounge invitation?
Or should we wait until the check in kiosk is open to get it?
Thank you, in advance

Hello TG forum
I’m flying TK to BKK in December and while I’m there I want to fly TG to PNH for a couple of days.
I’m looking at flights and the cheapest economy saver tickets are coming in at THB 9,350 but I note that flights next month are as cheap as THB 5,775.
Is this as cheap as the fares in December are going to get or is it TG’s practice to release discount fare tickets nearer to departure (in this case Decembers) and if so, how long before?
Can I have a second question, please? Is there a charge for seat selection on TG? I’m *G if that is of any consequence.
many thanks

Once you arrive from QR, you can check in with Thai, drop your bags, and head off to the city.

you can afterwards come back, go to TG's fast track and do security and Immigration within a short time. Your Boarding pass is the entrance ticket (as already mentioned by CPH-Flyer) to TG Lounges or SQ or EVA

no charge for seat selection, but whether you can do seat selection in advance depends on fare base and status
