Thai Airways 787 BUSINESS Class: Old but... GREAT FOOD & SERVICE

[@oscarwyer2771]

Yes ! Can’t wait to watch this (I’ll re-post a new message later!!)

[@WillPanzer]

you know you are in korea when you hear the train incoming music.... so soothing

[@JaydenWong]

hahaha yes!

[@maureen8966]

Hi Jayden THANK you for the video. I fly most times to Thailand on Thai Airlines and always found them very polite and helpful.

[@GaryInAmsterdam]

The wine and sparkling selection was very nice in the lounge. I always love your shower room reviews. Please keep doing them. The Thai uniforms for the flight crew are so pretty. I love your "toast" at 17:02. lol Your city VLOGs are the best. The Pan Am store is so retro. I still have my paper "stock" certificates from Pan AM. Sharing your city tours and "every day" life of you editing your videos is really a nice touch.

[@JaydenWong]

Greetings from Antwerp, sorry for not staying on that Eurostar train to Amsterdam today🤣 Glad you like the shower room reviews :) That one in the Thai lounge was soo refreshing after flying from Cape Town via Livingstone and Nairobi.

[@GaryInAmsterdam]

@@JaydenWong haha this made my morning. Yes, I was crestfallen that you hopped off the train in Antwerp! I hope you did a short vlog about the train ride!? 😉

[@sputnicksteerpike]

i find that it is always best to "conduct some business" before taking a shower so you can feel nice & fresh & clean right after! :D thanks for another enjoyable trip report, jayden!

[@JaydenWong]

absolutely! Also feels lighter and less bloated😃👌🏼

[@A380_Flyer]

I was due to fly TG417 from bkk to kul last week but they changed the aircraft from 787 to an old 777. Thai really do like to change their metal at the last minute!

[@josefmprable]

as a Thai airways flyer since I was a toddler (20 yrs), I never had an aircraft swap ever! But apparently, for some people it is a recurring problem.

[@jackalchung]

@@josefmprableyou are so lucky!

[@jackalchung]

I got swapped from an A350 to a 777-300ER

[@patriciafuchs5970]

The Thai lounge looked great! The Singapore lounge furniture was pretty, the food looked good. It’s interesting seeing annolder plane, the staff was attentive.i always enjoy your reviews!

[@JaydenWong]

Thank you so much Patricia! :)

[@Waldo1411]

Wow. Two meals on a 4:45hrs flight souds incredible to me

[@JaydenWong]

it was absolutely amazing haha

[@aviation405]

Great video Jayden, I’ve flown Thai a few times before covid and in my opinion it is very underrated, lovely crew, food always amazing and entertainment is pretty good same as the seats

[@JaydenWong]

Totally agree!

[@RCMN-2024]

Another great video by Jayden! not only they are informative, but help us to make great choices on what seats/class/airlines we would like in future. Jayden has definitely saved me money on a different video as the business class between different planes, even with the same airline are vastly different, but at the same price. Keep the videos coming :) (I am very tall 6ft female so even telling us the legroom available is great)

[@mba0005]

Great video, Jayden! Thanks for the extensive lounge tour in BKK. Lots of good options depending on your preferences. Sorry about the aircraft swap. That must have been particularly annoying for solo travelers who suddenly now had a seat mate. The service looked outstanding on the flight. Very personable. It’s amazing you got 2 meals on a flight less than 5 hours.

[@JaydenWong]

haha yes we didn't care too much but sucks if anyone was travelling alone! Loved the two meals services onboard. Thanks Mike :))

[@Owen_Aviation24]

Hey Jayden i have been watching since 2 years thankyou for making great trip reports! I going on Thai 787 Perth To Bangkok on my fav plane Boeing 787... And my first time going on it im going on it at sat morning perth time like 8 am and thx for this video! Keep up the Great work! And ngl you deserve like 800k subs or more idk how you dont but keep up the great work! Love your vids!!!

[@raymondleongdiva]

Yes I tried the lounge on my way to Zurich with Swiss Int'l ...I like this lounge and the SQ lounge ...❤

[@clarkvincentga-as]

The Eva air lounge in Bangkok looks similar to the Starlux lounge back in Taipei

[@christao408]

Nice video. Based in BKK and flying nearly every week, I am in the SQ lounge nearly every time. BR is an okay plan B. Skip Turkish. TG gets crowded but their smaller lounge on E pier is nice.

[@JaydenWong]

I think I would do the same too if I live there and fly that often!

[@LoneStarFlightReviews]

What a coincidence - just got home from TG433 on their 787-9. Seems like the Thai dresses are worn on flights with 6 as the flight number's first digit. I believe Thai and aircraft changes blend well like peanut butter and jelly :)

[@haritvii]

Love your vlog always. Great to see you enjoyed Thai airways ❤

[@EpicThe112]

Love it and for the seats TG Royal Silk Class Stelia Solstys B787-9 A350-900 B777-300/ER beat this one a Rockwell Collins Diamond. I wonder if your mum has a star alliance FFQ if she does then it can be used here. For my family Dad has both UA and TG Mum SQ Krisflyer. Some cases TG B787-8 does do regional runs to Taipei HKG and MNL. Singha Beer is Thailand which equals San Miguel beer Philippines and Asahi Beer Japan.

[@kevinhendricks8272]

Great report in the air and the 4 lounges on the ground. I couldn’t have resisted going into the city though with 8-9 hours. Haha ❤

[@zchoirboy]

19 min walk is good because we need to exercise... cuts to himself on a moving walkway :D

[@jamessayers4046]

Another great vlog JW Shame of the aircraft change, I'm still yet to fly the A350, mind you the 788 is still a great aircraft, the seats remind me of the similar type with Garuda offer. I'm glad you knew who your neighbour was (the tall freak)🤣 I always liked Thai, very good and you're correct not the same standard as EK or SQ, but still up there. You still make me smile when you pronounce "coat hoooook" 🤣There was a small boo boo with your landing time, FYI I think you used PM when it was AM... You've enticed us to visit Seoul!!

[@JaydenWong]

woopsie, obviously I was jetlagged🤣 Thanks James

[@Hasan-E-qe2xx]

11:30 gets 777-300ERs,Non ERs are found retired on BKK's tarmac 😢

[@mrdonniegoh]

Ops 😅 a downsize from A350 direct aisle to B787-8 (2-2-2). But I guess their hospitality indeed made up for the change in aircraft type. Thanks for this review as I was recently looking for Thai airways flight too 🤭

cheers Donnie!

Great review as usual, Jay…

[@JaydenWong]

thanks :))

[@ASDANINJAPAN]

TG will only amount to this, no leading only follow a long way behind. They will never go beyond as they are still stuck in a long gone era of their own.

[@NANICU]

The EVA Air lounge showers are better. I usually shower there and head to the Silverkris Lounge for food.

[@JaydenWong]

I gotta check out their shower next time!

[@thomasm.2072]

8:50 TG already retired all of their 773 (non ER) during COVID time so I think 11:30 flight is operated by 77W

[@normanmcleod7169]

Great video Jayden. Considering that you also do the Cantonese version, that was a LOT of editing this time !

I will be flying the same route but morning flight TG652 in business. Hopefully I can do the lounge tour but might not make it all four before my departure at 8am.

For me B787-8 is not easy to take, last time I flew the Ethiopian Airlines from SIN-KUL, on day was operated by B787-9

Most of Thais also prefer Silverkris lounge over TG lounge but it’s always overcrowded, I preferred EVA Lounge for more quiet peaceful relaxation. BTW, Silverkris lounge toilet doesn’t have bidet!!! Unacceptable 😆

[@JaydenWong]

Thanks for watching! Unacceptable indeed! No shower- fine. No bidet- Criminal

[@aikapats]

@@JaydenWong exactly! So, my routine would be first thing first go to Silverkris to get some food and drink, then some more dimsum and coconut juice at EVA.. finish up at TG for shower and a bit of relaxation, then prepare to board.. no TK lounge, of course 🤣

You Paul Stuart, Paul Lucas, Dennis Bunik, and pretty much everyone else seem to be obsessed Oh are the boarding passes still cardboard or are they paper now ? When is the Thai airways A380 first class flight ? Eewww🤢 mc d’s

You got 'TGed' with the equipment swap lol But Thai, still "smooth as silk" 🇹🇭 ✈️

[@clarkvincentga-as]

The Boeing 777-300 non-ER variant of Thai Airways has already been retired since the pandemic.

[@markkaroo]

I'm flying this route later this year. Do they usually swap aircraft types? I'm really hoping to fly the A350!

[@JaydenWong]

they do have a reputation of swapping last minute. But the chance of that happening is still relatively low. I looked up TG658 on flightradar24, the whole week had been A350 and on-time!

[@JM-xl2cs]

My experience: When I booked my return business class tickets from Germany to Thailand, both ways were scheduled in a new plane, but just a few days or weeks before the flight date Thai Airways changed both flights for older planes, aged and less comfortable. Also they didn't respect my seat number booking. No explanations or alternative proposals. This is disrespect to the customer, deception and trickery.

From my experience, Thai Air Business class in long haul flights is bad and disappointing:  When I booked my return business class tickets from Germany to Thailand, I chose both flights in new planes, but just a few days or weeks before the flight date Thai Airways changed both for OLDER PLANES, aged and less comfortable. Also they didn't respect my seats number bookings.  The business class SEATING were BAD for anybody taller than 170 cm, the rows were too close excepting two rows.  The AUDIO-VIDEO SYSTEM HAD CONTINUOUS INCIDENTS, it was impossible to watch movie o listen music without suffer shutdown several times. Also some of the headphones give a horrible sound. The crew was used to this; they had to reset the system several times during the flight.  AC: the business cabin temperature was too cold, frozen. I wasted my first 5 days in Thailand on bed, sick because of it.  FOOD: just regular.  DRINKS: wines were served 10-15 minutes later than food, too late and unacceptable for a Business class.  BOARDING and Security: there was no a different queue and finger for business passengers, it was together with economy class.  VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, horrible, Air China standard. They made me miss a connecting flight in Bangkok due to the long delay in the arrival of the Thai Air flight. They did not take responsibility for anything, nor did they provide any solution or compensation, and they treated me very disrespectfully, demonstrating that customer service and satisfaction is a concept unknown to Thai Air, nothing to do with European standards. Score for the long haul business class in Thai Airways: FAIR to BAD After that deceiving and disappointing experience and the poor quality, I have never flown with Thai Air again. There is a good choice of much better airlines: Turkish, Qatar, Singapore, Lufthansa, Cathay,...
