those get a seat on 777-300ER from row 17 and in the second cabin from row 18; no problem as the 777-300ER has 42 J seats and the 777-200 only 30

Please comment on any possible chance for A350 to fly on domestic routes.

maybe some initial flights to try out on routes to Phuket and Chiang Mai; was on a 787 domestic flight before it went international
later it might be that it is used occasionally in between long haul fights. I was for example last weekend on a 777-300ER on a CNX BKK flight before it proceeded (the plane not me) to London...

I'm hoping for TG to use it on HKT routes before it goes to service on intl routes.

that's exactly what I was trying to describe. Those with seat numbers that also exist on the 777-300ER keep their seat, others will be moved to those that do not exist on the 777-200
So 11B, E, F, J keep their seat; A and K gets moved to the rear end. in row 12 A and K keeps seat, E, F gets moved to 12 D, G; B, J to the rear end etc.

Sad face. On the 465 to Melbourne now. Can confirm the registration is HS-TJT a 777-200ER. Not sure what's going on with flight radar but definitely disappointed that I didn't pick a day before or after to get the 77W....

Flightaware is know to be incorrect. I do not trust that at all...

And flightradar24 reports it correctly... So what is the problem?

I and family members have a few flights booked December/January, would be nice of them to update the seat maps soon from 777-200ER to A350 to select seats as we all know if could end up a mess, especially when people are on separate PNR's but on the same flight.

I do not follow the bolded part - can you please explain? (I know it's rather famous in Australia now due to one (in)famous politician, but I really do not exactly get what you mean.) I am guessing that there is a party of people on different PNRs? Please be advised, that seat pre-selection is just that. Can be changed by the operating carrier at any time (as has been my experience) and you cannot do anything about it, particularly if on different PNRs.
