Flying Thai metal with WE flight number (just one domestic sector), am i correct that * G will be useless?
I will need more than 20kg bagage allowance. Looks like booking THAI flight number will get me more weight and also lounge access?
Thank you

An option could be to fly Smile Plus?

I'm not sure if *G will work on TG operated flight but with WE flight number. Alternatively, I can pay 500thb to cancel and book this TG flight (TG477) on THAI site.
Thanks

Not sure this works...
I have a Smile Plus ticket now and would like to change to TG operated flight (better time). I can change for free but it will be a WE flight number (WE5477).

Smile Plus will get you all of the above AND lounge access so I wouldn't lose sleep trying to change to TG ticketing.

Currently sitting on board a Thai Smile flight BKK-CEI. We booked via TG. My *G got us extra luggage allowance and priority boarding but no lounge access. I don't think TG operate any domestic routes, and TG477 *IS* WE5477.

. I have seen a few TG operated flights for BKK-HKT. TG477 is BKK-HKT-SYD.

Ok, to answer this question:
1. At Krabi we got the meanest nastiest agent I've seen in a long time - she was so mean she'd probably fit right in at United.
2. Either way, no checking bags through (turned out we have a friend who works for Thai Smile, but they couldn't do anything)
So, sounds like a "no"

Hi, trying to follow this thread. So am I right in thinking that booking Premium Economy (Thai Smile Plus?) from HKT to BKK will get me lounge access at HKT?
I'll probably still have a Priority Pass, but that thing seems to get rejected more often than it is accepted, hence wanting to check about lounge access with Thai Smile PE ticket.
Thanks.
