Thy first class @ bkk

Hi everyone!

This is my first post so please excuse any newbie's mistakes...

I've experienced Turkish Airlines' First Class service on the IST - SIN route earlier this year and was overwhelmed by their ground services.

I'm again booked on F Class over XMAS 2009, this time to BKK.

Now my question concerns the ground services in BKK. Any experiences? Are there personal assistants provided? Is there a buggy service? Fast Track Immigration? Limousine to BKK downtoen?

Upon departure: which lounge to use (OK it is Star Alliance First so I can use TG's first but is that TK's intention?).

Well I'd be grateful for any experiences on TK's First Class services in BKK.

Yours,

Gerald

I know if you're flight F in to BKK on TG then you'll be met at the plane with a little buggy and rushed through security. The 1st lounge in BKK is also pretty good.

Not sure whether this extends to other *A carriers though, doubt it.

TK has an arrival service incl. buggy from a private company.

They seemed new at the job, but very motivated and friendly.

I flew into BKK from IST in F on Dec 7th and was the only passenger in F. I was the first one off the plane and was met by someone waiting for my with a buggy and was taken to the fast track immigration line but it didn't matter since there was no one there at all at any lane (my flight was delayed 4 hours and seemed like it came in with no other flights having landed recently). After immigration we got to the the baggage claim where my bag was the 1st one off the plane. Instead of having the Star Alliance Priority tags I had THY 1st Class tags on it. I think that from the time I landed until the time I got into the taxi took something like 17 minutes.

There is no limo service provided by TK in BKK.
