both TK flights to KUL are scheduled with 777 , and 787 here and there - should be better than TG 777. Just flew ( 6 days ago ) , TK 777 to JFK , it’s more than decent product , we are family of three and love the outdated 2-3-2 set up in business.. Got tickets to KUL , spending 3-4 days there, then 3-4 days in Singapore , then flying out with SQ to CHC for two weeks in NZ.

The SIN flights are short haul but on 787 and A350 aircraft. Unfortunately, as you previously alluded, the TK ex-KUL flights are on the unpleasant 777. Using KUL, rather than SIN, as an open jaw saves 30,000 MP. You can still get KUL-SIN-SFO-xxx with SIN-SFO on UA metal, but in my case the SFO-YUL segment would have been over 5 hours in Y on an AC A220. I preferred the TK 777 in J as a lessor of two evils.

Has anyone mandated to find a TPAC routing through TYO or ICN where the Thai segment books into I? I'm looking over December / January and the last legs are all in X (economy)
The TATL routings all seem to have I space on the last leg but I would really rather fly west than east.
