THAI AIRWAYS | LONDON TO BANGKOK | FLYING BUSINESS CLASS | Was IT Worth IT?

[@Coolhandmeister]

The only problem with flying business class is you will never want to fly economy class again!

[@ukthcuple]

also a good tip for you all . i fly usually from European airports its make business class cheaper a cheap flight from UK to a hub in europe then business class from there can be a little bit of a mess around but cheaper and you dont mind when your saving £1000 and sometimes more just a little hint for ya

[@paulbaxter9299]

Fantastic Peter, a well deserved treat. Now relax into your new life. Onward and upward. Take care Paul.

[@markholland6657]

Business Class for a long haul flight like that is definitely worth it when you account for the priority check-in/security/lounge/boarding/food/service level etc.. it definitely takes the stress out of long-haul flying.. not to mention the higher luggage allowance!!

[@andrewsrealworld5494]

Very good video Peter. I'll have to go Business Class one day. Looks so relaxing, and no screaming babies nearby. 👍

[@razorwestham5949]

Agree totally nothing worse than screaming kids. Been saying for years put kids and family's together in sections in the plane and cordon off from people who want a peaceful flight. First airline to do that will be a great success and even if they charge slightly more.

[@nickj3676]

Well done Peter. Good to treat yourself after what you've been through. Take care and enjoy your new home!

[@ThailandBound]

Yes, thanks

[@sonamfitness]

Great video, really interesting. We're all really Happy for you Peter!

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Looks like flight TG911, early morning arrival in to Suvarnabhumi...... That's a pretty good price for business class these days. I have recently spent a month in Thailand, went with Qatar, only economy but we still had metal cutlery. I had 3 weeks in Pattaya then a week in Bangkok... met with Bangkok Pat a couple of times, and had a good roam around with him but now back in the cold, wet UK!.... Enjoy your new, warmer, life Peter.......

[@toonwouters4632]

I flew qatar for the first time last trip. It's really good compared to European airlines, especially the food.

[@grimacemcdonald1]

I flew Qatar to the World Cup and the plane was old and I’ve never been on economy with such little space. Hated it

[@Czechbound]

And remember everyone that while the flight may seem expensive, you are only making the decision on the difference between Business Class and Economy Class (the price for which you'd be paying anyway). Depending on how full the flight is, you might get an upgrade if you have a frequent flier card, arrive early, dress well ( eg slacks, shirt, jacket ) and ask politely. It's worked for me where I was on the plane and seated in economy just before take off. The air hostess said she needed a word and brought me back to the galley. She asked for my boarding card stub, and exchanged it for one in business class. I thanked her, and I said I got the message to be discreet about changing seats, so just got my carryon bag, and quietly moved up front without saying anything to the person I had been sat beside. Result !

[@razorwestham5949]

Czech bound Spot on my son no football shirt and shorts unless your in a team that's paying for the trip. Dress smart nobody paying full price would want a guy looking like that in the business class seat snobbery I know but a fact from those who travel and pay regularly and find out you been jacked up from economy. Great way to travel and at present many empty seats on that class due to recession. And I'm sure when things turn nasty in country's seeing the rich get richer and the poor poorer things will become very hostile in the world not just uk . Luckily uk usually can contain itself as opposed to other country's and riots over basic things going up to be able to live.

[@FrankCastlesConscience]

Serious question: what constitutes “smart dress”? Pin stripe suit? Tie? Jacket with chinos? Deadly serious question. I wouldnt mind trying this, just dont want to turn up in a suit in Bangkok when its 80% humidity lol.

[@razorwestham5949]

[@scottg3456]

Nice one Peter and good on you for treating yourself business class, certainly seems you deserved it.

[@quinnerefc]

Nice little story. About 20 yrs ago I was flying back to the UK from Bangkok economy class and thought I had time to claim my VAT back in the airport etc, while I was doing this I kept hearing over the tannoy 'can Mr Hugez please go to gate ble ble ble' they kept repeating this for quite a long time and I remember thinking this Spanish passenger is going to miss his flight. They said final call for passenger Hugez and I remember chuckling to myself thinking this spanish guy is going to miss his flight. Anyway I start strolling towards the tv screens to check my gate etc and start casually making my way when I'm met by some out of breath thai airways employee wanting to see my ticket. She said come on Mr Hugez run!!! We have upgraded you to business class at the front of the plane. I said I'm not Mr Hugez I'm Mr Hughes!! What an idiot, I had no idea the guy I was chuckling at for quite some time was me!! Anyway I got my flight and really enjoyed my only time in business class!! That too was Thai airways Bangkok to London direct

[@joking7081]

Business class for long haul flights is definitely worth it. You can sleep on the plane, and you hit the ground with less jet lag.

[@matthewcartwright3146]

Good to see you arrived safely Peter! Really enjoyed the review.

[@GwigglesNZ]

The high life suit ya Pete! All the best mate, good on ya! Hope you're feeling settled after the move.

[@JakeMcshane3]

One thing you didn't mention is that when arriving in business class you can use the fast-track immigration line at the BKK airport, which is often much quicker than the regular line. They used to give you a special pass on the plane, but now you can use the line if you just show your boarding pass to prove you were in business class.

[@ThailandBound]

I was looking for the fast track lane at Bangkok but did not see it...I was not really that bothered as I landed at 06:05 so the airport was very quiet

[@steve1113663]

@@ThailandBound Its really hard to find and they keep moving it but last month it was part of the major ramp but extreme right hand side and and a small sign but very hard to find (deliberately I think)

Nice one Peter, pleased everything went to plan. All the best for the future!

[@Mike-we2hb]

When I went last year I flew business class from Manchester with klm. First time I’ve ever done it and it was well worth it. I think one of the major selling points is the first in first out. I sailed through immigration at the other end and straight for a taxi

[@vibechiild8891]

Awesome Peter. Very happy for you!

[@garysmith3976]

Looked great , good to treat yourself now and again

[@scottluvstotrvl]

I flew in business class this last fall from United Sates to Amsterdam. I feel it is well worth the extra dollars to stretch out on the long flights. Hard to sit up for all these hours as you get older.

[@ThailandBound]

Yes! Thank you!

[@rkgaustin]

I recommend a lounge membership to anyone who travels even occasionally. Avoiding the usual discomfort and hassles of the airport experience is well worth it. Same goes for business class. People are always saying "air travel used to be a luxurious experience" but they don't realize very few people could afford to fly then. It still can be a luxurious experience but it comes at a price.

[@monkeysa43]

Interesting video, I’m surprised you didn’t film the business class lounge on my next trip to Thailand . I will be doing exactly what you’re doing business class one way and economy plus on the return leg may be business class, but I was pleased that you did this video as it shows all the food on board. Thank you

[@ThailandBound]

When you seen one Lounge you've seen them all

[@andrewpinkham9904]

the biggest reason i have never been to Thailand is the grueling flight where i cant stretch out.Ive never seen business class before.That looks like fun.i need dental work.ill bet what i can save having it done in thailand would pay for the trip

[@ThailandBound]

The dental work in Thailand is top class and about a third of the price of the UK

[@mikeshattuck7919]

@@ThailandBound dental work in Thailand is top class and about a third of the price as in the USA or UK.

All good peter as you say ,prices are up & a nice treat , I done 9yr ago today diff airline, enjoy

[@SmartCookie2022]

It surprises me how many posters are envious of those travelling business or first class. Or they leave a brusque comment that Emirates or one of the other Middle Eastern carriers is better, forgetting to mention you have to change planes and that it's a much longer travelling time via Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Having flown Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways countless times, I'll take a direct flight to BKK over those airlines any day of the week. For me it's either EVA Air or Thai Airways.

[@ThailandBound]

Very true and I found the service fantastic

[@pflaffik]

Agree, i had to travel Emirates business on my return from Bangkok this year, ONLY people who NEVER fly business will say theyre better than Thai. The stopover in Arabian airports half way completely destroy the trip, in business we want ONE LONG UNINTERRUPTED flight. Plus the horrible business seats in Emirates 777-300er, i suffered (their A380 businessclass seats are great though, but it doesnt really matter on a 6h45m stint, economy is fine too at such short flights).

[@ArmaniStudio]

I’m coming to Bangkok as you know Peter.. likely in a couple months. I think I will fly business now.. I like the lay down seat… it’s a long flight for me coming from the USA

[@ThailandBound]

Yes you should try to save another areas it's definitely worth spending on the flight

[@AndyfromDoncaster]

Great video thanks for uploading. I've just flown back from BKK to Helsinki. A350 Business Finnair. It was absolutely fine. I think you get more amenities and more food courses on the Thai airways trip. But all in all it looks similar and yes, I've always found the staff to be superb. When booking my business trips one thing I always look out for is the seat configuration. I book 1-2-1 thats the best if you're flying solo and looking to book a single seat. I flew back to the UK.from Doha on a A330 Qatar business flight last year and the seats were 2-2-2 I had a window seat and ended up stepping over the other passenger who was fast asleep on his flat bed to go to the toilet. Not ideal. Just one thing to look for, especially if you travel business many times. However, I must say, the Qatar Q Suite on the A777 is a really fab choice. I'm looking to return to BKK. in June this year, so I'll start the process of searching air travel prices again soon. Although like you say, air fares have increased dramatically, especially when flying up the front. Best wishes from me here, in Doncaster and Lam Luk Ka, Pathun Thani.

[@rickgalla3377]

Thai airways is very good, I'm coming from New York city and I usually go with Cathay pacific to hk then bkk, best of luck with your new life, I just came home from 6 weeks in Los, its still an amazing place

[@dannygreen531]

Business class is the way to fly in comfort differently worth the extra money. Very nice

[@Searat7]

I checked Seat Guru and looks like you were flying a Boeing 777-300ER….good plane. What I remember about Thai Business Class is that they carry everything out…not use carts. I will fly back to Bangkok from Miami on SWISS Business Class but now they have 8 hour wait in Zurich. I used to be able to take THAI from Zurich to Bangkok but that change would cost a fortune even though they are both Star Alliance members. Not cheap to fly now…I paid $5700 round trip this time vs. $4,000 a year ago. Qatar would be my first choice but that would be about $6700. Ouch !

[@dougm3037]

Looked good. I'd definitely use the reclining seat and sink one or two G&Ts. Everyone is entitled to the occasional splurge. I've only travelled cattle class. One of these days I may take the plunge and indulge myself.

[@CAHSR2020]

Thai Airways no longer flies from my home country but I have flown Business on carriers like Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, and Cathay Pacific. On overnight flights I think Business Class is worth every penny. On daytime flights I find that Premium Economy can also be a good value.

[@BambinoAmericano]

I did many BC flights back and forward for my work with Singapore Airlines. To the point that I thought it would be difficult to return to Economy for intercontinental private travels. Not at all, I love Economy. Also better for potential social chats. Now, I did some private travels to Thailand in BC when I was in a bad medical condition (with temporary stent in my body), expensive but worth every penny in that condition. Otherwise, no in my opinion.

[@thelemonpepperdon]

Nice upgrade Peter I usually fly business class for work and on personal travel I use my frequent flyer status to upgrade. I seen KZbinrs explain how to fly business class using rewards from their credit cards but I never really understood it. Anyways it's definitely a nice way to fly on a long ten hours flight.

[@ThailandBound]

Cool, thanks

£2.2K Business class one-way. I hope you got your monies worth. For me £600 in a corner window seat economy class + 50p 25mg of diazepam would be just as good

[@steve1113663]

Once you flown business uts very hard to go back. I've flown Thai and normally Eva on this route, they both superb and really down to the crew on the day, normally I use Eva as their frequent flyer program is slightly better but now more expensive, recently I've been using Lufthansa transferring in Munich but their product is no where near as good as Thai or Eva but a lot cheaper. If anyone uses Eva at LHR they try to put in the Air Canada lounge which is pants, as a gold card holder I can use any star alliance lounge but I think anyone can also, Lufthansa, Singapore and United all really good at LHR. In BKK the Turkish lounge is nice and again Singapore but the big Thai lounge is nice hut gets real busy

[@Oldfogey2014]

Enjoyed following your trip home business class. Personally, I wouldn't go for it myself because all it takes is for a noisy family with an infant to sit nearby. However, I would pay extra to gurantee no noisy passenger onboard though.

Biz class makes it fun to travel especially long haul

[@tropicalchilllounge66]

Just took this flight and landed this morning in BKK (April 10, 2023). Overall it was a good flight with excellent service, good food and decent in-flght entertainment. However, as far as business class seats go, these are some of the hardest and most uncomfortable I've experienced in probably the last 10 years. My back is absolutely killing me and I've been on the ground for 14 hours since landing! The THAI biz calss seats do not compare to other top business class seats such as those from Qatar, Singapore Airlines, (even EVA), JAL and ANA. However, for a non-stop flight from LHR to BKK, it is pretty hard to beat.

[@ThailandBound]

As I said in the upload I bought nothing else to compare it with I thought it was pretty good for a first time experience

[@pflaffik]

Didnt they put a mattress? I flown Thai business with and without mattress and my back never bothered me, nor did i see comments about it before. Its valid to ask if you got a back problem, that Thai cannot be blamed for.

Just flew back from Bangkok last week (Cattle class) with Thai Airways, the plane was a visibly old 777 with hard seats, outdated in-flight entertainment system that barely worked and very little leg room and even the business cabin looked dated, which meant one of the worst long haul flight ive ever been on for over 12 hours of hell so going to try a different airline when I go back.

[@oblongmusic3389]

My last Thai Airways flight from LHR to BKK was in 2018 and cost £520 .. as it’s a direct flight it was actually more expensive than many other airlines who would include a stopover or even 2.. The current cost of nearly all long haul air travel is almost obscene , as the airlines have obviously realised that a lot of people who loved to travel pre-Covid, are still into it..a friend over here just paid £1500 for his Thai mother in law to fly here in Thai Airways economy class.. and that was travelling before the Easter holidays and she’s returning after the holidays are over.. Btw Peter , I haven’t stayed at the Heathrow Sheraton, but I have stayed at the Sheraton at Brussels airport , and the room and public areas were all too warm , and I couldn’t turn the aircon down to a cooler temperature.. it’s a pretty shitty company policy imho .. 🙏

[@SmartCookie2022]

Yes, I paid £950 for my return flight on Thai Airways which I booked 2 months ago. Until more airlines resume flying to BKK (such as BA) prices will be at a premium.

[@googleuser2609]

I think the fact that you've a got a lot more leg room and space in business class is a big draw card, as well as the added privacy. It makes the flight much more comfortable; worse being cramped in a narrow Economy seat for 9--12 hours, squashed like a sardine. 🐟

[@bestdressedman6096]

Used to fly emirates business on the A380 to Bangkok, however they doubled price to £4k so no way! Used Swiss air last year business rtn was £1790. In Feb I decided to take two trips a year so cut back & tried EVA premium economy out on a night flight which was great, I slept most of it………however I came back in economy NEVER AGAIN! 13 hours of hell! And the reason I never flew direct after my first trip in 2001. I’m back to Pattaya in October on EVA out prem econ again & back in business for £2330 it was £600 more than prem economy so I owe that myself after the horror of suffering flying with the crates of chickens at the back…..and I’ve never been served a shot of red wine in cardboard cup as I was then. And a big thank you to B&O noise cancelling headphones as I could see 3 babies screaming.

[@pflaffik]

If i cant get business i go economy. Really not happy with premium economy, its a milk cow made to squeeze money out of Average Joe. Luck had it i was upgraded for free to PremEco once, never wasted money on it. Most people can get business class for “free”, a few less cafe latte for takeout in the morning, or a few cigarettes less, and voila youre in business class.

[@camf7522]

I’ve experienced many Business class products and my favourites are Air New Zealand and Thai Airways. Lufthansa is disappointing. And Royal Brunei and China Southern were surprises, in a good way. Business class isn’t just about the seat. I am trying SingaporeAir and Swiss business class this year.
