To TG gurus

The exit rows in J are blocked out when I do the MMB @ TG site.

Should I call up for that or they remains unallocated until airport check in ?

I selected 12A but would prefer 16A if possible.

Thanks

I don't know if they will open 16A yet...I really dont consider it much more desirable than many other seats on the upper deck anyway.

12A I would not pick. The side bins up there are very narrow and will take only a very small carry on. It's also a bit exposed to the comings and going from the lav.

I'd probably move back to 14 or 17.

I would be sitting downstairs on a TG 747 if flying business class! much much better than anything on the upper deck.

F is F on the 747 - don't think there is really much difference in terms of sleep quality. Privacy yes, but that's about it.

What are you complaining about? This is the plane with the new 9 F suites? Or do you prefer the older open style as I know some people find the suites too closed in.

F is F on the 747 - don't think there is really much difference in terms of sleep quality. Privacy yes, but that's about it.

But what is F on the All-series? Isn't that the ancient blue recliners that normally do intra-asia?

We posted at the same time. Not complaining at all I just remember all series being the one to avoid in 2012. Obviously that has changed however and I don't actually mind the old ​F

The ancient recliners no longer exist.

All Series now refers to the 9F configuration.

No F recliners on Thai exist any more.

All good, thanks guys.

ABT seems to suggest otherwise (we are talking about low-density configuration here).

I am confused.

In terms of pure space, head room and having a very quiet cabin free from passing traffic, the lower deck of the TG 747 wins hands down. Especially the front rows (22 and 23 - yes - even the one by the wall!)

Some people think the upper deck is 'the place to be' - based on some notion that it is 'exclusive' or something. But not really taking account of comfort.

There are some aircraft where the upper deck actually IS more comfortable (eg LH F, or BA J), and some cases where the lower deck is just so bad that the upper deck is better (Qf and BA).

But in TGs case where you have a nice small cabin, huge overhead bins, extraordinarily wide aisles, a dedicated WC, and almost no foot traffic, the lower deck would be the pick.

I agree fully with your views of TG. On the lower deck you have more dedicated attendants as well as the purser/CSM.

Also, lower deck makes it faster to get off flight, after F pax disembark.

Two heads are better than one.

Just migrated to lower deck !

Seems there is less seating downstairs too, unlike QF.

Q:

TG F (747) 9/10 seats ex SYD

Is 1A too 'close' to 1K ?

Single traveller

Would 2A/K be more 'private'?

I know everything is fine in F but maybe the gurus here know something I am yet to know.

Thanks

1A/K is fine.

TG (same with QF)... you can assess the situation once on board. sometimes 1A/K will be occupied, but row 2 empty. if that's the case one or other person in row 1 will often move to row 2 to give everyone max space and privacy (or move to row 3 or whatever)

The downside of downstairs is that you get glimpses of what you're missing in F.

See seating in map here:

In J, I prefer row 24 on either side. No window on starboard side.

Well yes, there's a good reason for that! If you've given yourself an F seat eg 23F...don't expect a window!

I selected 23A.

Why would 24 be preferable ?

Thanks

For pure space row 22AB or 23EF would be the winners. Otherwise its standard pitch.
