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

[@WillPanzer]

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

[@JaydenWong]

hahaha yes!

[@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😃👌🏼

[@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! :)

[@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

[@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!!!

nice report...i am thinking of flying THAI air line later this coming yr in business.......so great seeing this video.......

[@JaydenWong]

Yay! hope this video was helpful 😊

[@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!

[@lawrenceakini4981]

Thanks for this vlog. You can’t control the aircraft change. I know it is an inconvenience. Have an amazing day! Fly safe. Cheers.

[@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

[@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.

Great review as usual, Jay…

[@JaydenWong]

thanks :))

[@aikapats]

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 🤣

beautiful loved korea i would love to travel i enjoyed it very much greetings from the netherlands

[@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.

[@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 🤭

[@JaydenWong]

cheers Donnie!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@SandroCarusi]

How do u transfer between the airlines with different airlines and not rechecking in for the onward flight?

[@JaydenWong]

samt ticket :) For Bangkok to Seoul, Kenya Airways lets you choose Thai or Korean Air on the same ticket

[@Waldo1411]

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

[@JaydenWong]

it was absolutely amazing haha

[@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 :)

Thanks for the review. The inflight catering really puts Qantas a real shame as usual.

[@tanatpoltulalamba5754]

I plan to take business class TG940-941 to Milan. I feel a bit sad when I see this clip flying on 787-8. The seats are still 2-2-2 when they are adjusted to the flat-bed and the window seat wanna go to the restroom. How do we move?

[@highestfly279]

How did you use other Star Alliance lounges at the BKK Airport? As a Thai Airways business or as a Star Alliance Gold member?

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.

[@JM-xl2cs]

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,...
