Thai 747 Routes
With the withdrawal of the 747 from the BKK-HKG service, I would be grateful if you could suggest routes where I can still fly the 747 with the first class cabin (suites)?
I could find occasional 747 service to Phuket and also daily service to Mumbai - however these 747s are configured with pods rather than suites in first class (and are sold as business class, which is fine as long as I can choose a seat in the first cabin).
Thank you for your ideas.

The 747 is used for BKK-SYD, and some Japan and Europe routes - but you would be paying for a full 'F' experience. I read into your request that you's be happy just to fly in the F cabin with J service?

Basically, TG201/2 is scheduled as 747.
You can buy a flex J ticket and not board the a/c if you find that it’s the wrong one and then cancel and reschedule to a new date in the future for free. You can even not checkin if you find at checkin counter that you don’t get what you want.
Current 747/9F fleet is HS-TGA/B/F/G/Z.

Maybe for HND or SYD but even in the 10F seat version the OP will be fine.

How about BKK-MEL? What airframe? I love flying the Queen, but doubt it will happen to MEL in mid-June ....
