can any one tell me if you can select where you sit on thai airways before actually going to the airport to get on the plane if you can how do you do it. been looking for a long time and its starting to get frusturating

ureba

The answer to your query is "yes". For international flights, you can reserve seats when you make the booking on TG's website or through your travel agent . For domestic flights, you can not reserve seats when you purchase your ticket . However, you can select your seat 24hrs prior to the flight using the e-checkin facility on TG's website. Hope this helps.........

i booked it through the travel agent and they said they cant do seats like that but last time i did it with another travel agent and they had my seats booked 6 months before i flew out so do i just go to the website and from there on i dont no what to do would you please be able to help me more

johnaalex

Go to www.thaiair.com then click on the link to "Check Your Booking". The reservation number will be a six character code and you will have 2 (one for the TG system and one for the Amadeus system) both should work then enter your last name in the other field. This should bring up the details of your flight and a link to your seating.

Maybe calling TG is an option? Check their homepage and go to "Select Country" in the upper bar for the country page and the respective phone numbers you need.

i think u need the Amadeus number to do it on the thai website, the TG ref number wont work, but u can use the TG ref for online checkin, u will be able to checkin online and select ur seat 24 hours prior to the flight

i justed printed my itinery from viewtrip seems it only works that do to being a galilero or what ever it is again i am on 4 flights

2ndflight says economey class (m) which is on a b737-400
3rd flight says economey class(m) which is on a b737-400
4th flight says economey class (q) which is on a b777-200er

i dont no what the letters for the class mean can u please help

Thai-Kiwi

The letters refer to the 'sub-category' for economy class. There is a hierarchy from most flexible (and most expensive) to least flexible (and cheapest). V is a cheap, inflexible fare class which probably is non-mileage earning (I forget), M and Q are reasonably flexible fare classes and earn full miles on THAI.

Your Travel Agent can indeed make seat requests for the international sectors as you previously experienced, but the domestic sectors cannot be pre-allocated. That might explain why your TA couldn't apparently help you (or get a decent TA!!!).

The codes go something like (from most flexible to least flexible) from the Star Alliance thread:

TG Thai
FC : FAPZ O
*F : FAP O
BC : CDRJL I
*B : CDRJZ I
E+ : U
EC : YBMHQNVWSTGK X

When I do this I see an option to select special meals, but not my seat.

anaidross

As far as I know too, changing of seat is not possible via the web-site (at least for royal silk). Only the selection of meals is possible.

I must call the local office to ask them to help me with seat changes.

Magnus

I booked a domestic ticket yesterday on thaiairways.com and to my big surprise i was able to reserve a seat.

travelislife

You can reserve your seat during the booking process online for any itinerary, it is just for already booked flights that you can't do it online.

Magnus

Have never been able to do that on domestic before.

Transpacificflyer

It is still impossible to reserve on domestic flights even in Royal Silk if purchasing via the TG website. Call agents won't give a seat either.
