Business Class in TG 777-200 vs 777-200ER
Hi, so I am booked in Thai 313 from BKK to CCU. The seat selection page shows the aircraft as Boeing 777-200/300 and the Experience My Thai page shows -200ER but FlightRadar24 shows that old Boeing 777-200s (HS-TJA, TJB, TJC) are used on Saturdays (the day I am flying). Can anyone tell how the Business class of the -200 is different from -200ER.

The business class configuration is 2-2-2 and the aisle are incredibly wide. There are two business class toilets at the front of the 777-200 but only one business class toilets at the front of the 777-200ER.
What you don't want is a a 777-300 since this has a 2-3-2 configuration except for the first row.

The best business class seats are on the 777-300ER business class seats with a 1-2-1 staggered configuration.

In the last week, I flew a 777-300 with a 2-3-2 configuration one way and a 777-200 with a 2-2-2 configuration on the return flight. The 777-200 was so much nicer.

the 777-200ER are actually supposed to get refurbished with full flat seats (like on 777-300ER or A350), but not sure whether this has already started or postponed again and again
