77w and A350: yes there are minor differences as Kacee explained. however I would not mind and go for the most convenient itinerary if I have the choice between those two

I'm not a frequent visitor in the Thai forum, but this is the first I've heard about Thai replacing the 77W with 350 at ARN. Do you have a source which confirms this, or is it just a rumor?

your question needs to be directed to Anadrag...... I am also astonished about that.
Just the termination of Premium Economy Class must have officially been announced:

According to your link, Creole Spirit, Thai says that they will cancel premium because they have "a high demand on our Business Class," i.e. they need all 42 seats for business class passengers. If they would simultaneously switch to a 359 with only 32 business seats, it would sort of defeat the purpose of the premium cancellation.

there is a sticky thread with all planes and seat configurations
777-300ER all have full flat seats in 1-2-1 configuration
777-300 all have angle flat seats in 2-3-2 configuration (however the range of those does not allow flights to Europe)
77W or 773 is usually used for 777-300ER
777 for either 777-300 or 777-200, 777-200ER

there is a bit a confusion with the abbreviations and also TG does not use them consistent

the plane is back in time to BKK for the many Long haul flights around midnight to Europe, Japan, Korea, northern China, Australia
as said, TG is not consistent re those abbreviations
