773 vs 744 in J to BKK
 
Have options of either the 744 from MUC or 773 from FRA to BKK in J.
Either one have better seats or AVOD? I do like the upstairs on the 747 in general

You can check it by yourself for example at seatguru or here:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thai...-overview.html

Seating configuration in 77W is 1-2-1. Wheras upperdeck in 747 is 2-2. So you have to climb over your neighbour if you like to sit at the window. Wheras in 77W you have direct aisle access. Furthermore the hard product itself is much more modern.

773 has flat seats with direct isle access.
747 are from from the last century. Not horizontal flat. Avoid.

Unterwegs is correct
773 full flat seats
747 angle flat seats

Yes this is an easy call for the 77W.

Would you like to sit next to a wall? If you don't then go for 77W.

Would you like to sit on the lower deck? If you don’t then go for a 747 :)

Isn't the lower deck on the 777 for cargo?

Would you want a risk of not storing your carry-on above your head but have to placed it on lower deck? If yes then go for a 747.

Do you want to have a theoretical chance for a free upgrade to F? If yes then go for a 747.

agreed, even as a Platinum my last free upgrade was probably 10 years ago; it happened more often in the past
