I’ve tried a few times to buy a 747 F seat on the DPS-BKK but have not been able to complete the transaction in the “third party” website!

This is great information! Thanks Thai-Kiwi ! Question: if the domestic flight is part of an international itinerary, does TG (like other carriers) allow the domestic check-in to go through when I do the check-in for my international flight (it will technically be >> 24 hours for the domestic leg)?
An extra for experts. If the domestic flight has an international flight number, then this is an exception to the no advance seat selection rule; for example some flights route BKK-HKT-FRA on a singe flight number TG923 or something. The domestic sector BKK-HKT does allow seat selection in advance. There are a few other examples.

To your question, I dont think so - but it has been a long time for me to do this.

Please note that from 22 July TG will start selling access to the F seats when the 744 is used in 2 class service.

I currently have my parents traveling in business in the main deck, and I am sure they'd appreciate the additional space. They currently do not hold any status, if that matters.

I have not tried paying for what used to be an ROP Gold/Plat benefit.

Hello Thai-Kiwi and other TG experts, have any of you made use of this service to get a seat in the nose of the 744, with your business class ticket? If you have done it, was it online (through this link and therefore paid for) or did you ask nicely at the airport?

I was never able to do the online transaction. Always got a message along the lines about unable to process at this time.

Did you go to the airport early for those seats? Do you have any TG status, for which you might have gotten those seats allotted to you for free?

I will look at that post! Thank you.
This is good to know! Thank you. I'll try and see if I can get those seats online, but with TG's not-so-good website, I am not so hopeful. I infact booked those special business class meals, but not sure if those will stick around.

A call might just be in order!
Wait, so you're telling me you were booked in business and had to sit in Economy?! I hope you got a refund of the fare difference and a NICE compensation!
