Another lovely video… and y ou are correct, friendliness goes a long way. Thankns for what you do😊

Thanks Coy, agreed. Could be the worst airline in the world but if they smile, friendly and welcome me onboard makes such a difference. Luckily Thai was good on both fronts 🍲😁

I've never managed to get into Business with Thai, but they have twice provided me with the sort of customer service that wins loyalty. The first was when my new mother-in-law died suddenly just before I was due to fly back to the UK. A visit to their local office and explaining the situation resulted in a *FREE* change of flight to allow me to stay for the entire funeral process and (something I hadn't even thought about) a visa extension processed and added to my passport. The second was a few years later, when I misread my ticket and turned up at Chiang Mai airport 12 hours late. They had me on a flight half an hour later, and back in London less than an hour after I should have arrived. That cost me all of £38. Which was a bargain, seeing as the next available seat was in another 2 weeks . . . Also, if you have any smattering of Thai at all, the crew do seem to appreciate you making an effort to speak their language 🙂

Thanks for sharing 👍 That is impressive! These kind of situations really define an airline. I can think of one that didn't care when we couldn't go via India because they dropped the evisa. They only refunded it because it was avios but still charged a fee 😔 Singapore Airlines on the other hand as a one of gesture of goodwill refunded us the full amount.

Thai Airways is definitely coming back fighting with their Business Class on the newer Boeing 787s! I think their older aircraft might be a little dated for now, but I'm sure they'll be investing in them once they begin to crawl back capital.

Can you imagine if they'd reinstated the 747s or A380s after covid? 😏 There would be of course us av-geeks who love it but yes agreed the products were a bit out dated. Might try and get on their 777 in the future. Would you consider going to Asia? It's wide body heaven!

@bradw3800 8 ай бұрын

I would absolutely consider Thai Airways. Flown with them before and loved this airline, but when the pandemic hit, they stopped flying to Johannesburg. Waiting for THA to resume flights to South Africa.

@@bradw3800 wow, never realised they covered the route. Could always fly them locally in Asia for old times sake 😉

@bradw3800 8 ай бұрын

They stopped flying the Johannesburg route around 2015, as they've been struggling financially for many years, as you also indicated. This year they hinted at reintroducing flights to SAfrica. For now, that route must be serviced by SQ or CX.

I flew them economy on a 772 to DPS in May, pretty good ! Exit row seat and al. Not cheap but solid hard and soft product, score it just about a 4 out of 5 .

Always a bit surprised by that. Some airlines upgrade you once to tempt you the next time ⌚ Luckily this was a local route so didn't cost a lot ✈️

Great review, I've booked to fly with Thai Business Class in April next year flying out of Heathrow on their redeye so it will be interesting to comapre the 777 experience with the 787. If you don't me asking but what set-up/equipement do you use to record your vlog's as I want to record my trip experience to Thailand especially as I have also booked a room at the Panviman Chiang Mai Spa Resort just outside Chiang Mai. I would be grateful for your input.

Really happy for you. I would be happy to try the 777 but noticed it's the same as Iberia. The service will be really good though. Did you manage to get a window seat? Not at all, happy to share. I was using a Note 20 Ultra until before that trip but the 1x zoom worked occasionally. Changed to a S23 Ultra.... Hell of a difference in picture quality! Especially at night Will you post photos or videos of your stay anywhere? Would love to see the hotel 😊

@borderreiver9766 7 ай бұрын

Yes, I've booked a window seat on the left hand of the front cabin right up close to the window. I've been thinking of creating a vlog account for some time now and I will probably do this before March of 2024 as I have a Texas trip planned with United on their triple 7 so it will be interesting to compare the Polaris with the Royal Silk. Whatever I decide though I will be posting videos and photos of the upcoming trips.@@liftoffandtravel

I think this airplane was the one that suppose to delivery to one of the China carrier. The seat configuration is kinda off of Thai's style

How so? This has intruged us. We are going to may be try one of Latams ex A350s next year that ended up with Thai. It has a 2:2:2 configuration. The product on the 787 is far more private though.
