THAI AIRWAYS INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 747-400

Date :   21 April 2013

Review by : B Tiefenbacher (Switzerland)

One of the most generous seat pitch on the older aircraft. The seat is very comfortable allowing a great recline and space between you and your neighbor seat. PTV is not the top class. The service from cabin attendants is impressive, however they can be too talkative to their colleagues during duties.

Could not believe that Thai still fly a clapped out old 747 out of Sydney to Bangkok - no in seat entertainment, lacklustre cabin crew in stained uniforms (certainly a far cry from the very beautiful Thai cabin crew we were used to seeing!) and to top it all off, a absolute disregard for any passenger safety - a young child was allowed to carry a hot cup of tea down the aisle which was spilt on my husbands seat (lucky he was not in it at the time!) and on my leg (ouch!) ... NO-ONE came to respond when I pressed the help button so I found myself making my own way to the galley to find some paper towel while the so called 'cabin crew' were socialising amongst themselves! We also witnessed the cabin crew telling other passengers to wait to use the toilet while they changed their clothes. Never again Thai!

Why did I not read the reviews here before I booked my flight? Last time I flew Thai Airways was 10 years ago and I was cheesed off then because they had no in flight entertainment on the back of the seats. 10 years later nothing has changed.

THAI AIRWAYS A330-300 ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 29 July 2011 by Adrian Thomas (Australia)

The review is not so much about the seating facility rather the seats allocated my partner and I flew Thai TG 481 Bangkok to Perth on a Q class fare according to all the info I have from Thai a Q class fare brings certain entitlements including seating no further back than row 50 and also air miles accrual if a frequent flyer. On check in we were dumped into row 63 the last row against the toilets these are seats normally set aside for V or W class fare passengers - and in this instance Thai cabin crew. It comes down quite clearly to a case of Thai overselling the flight. There is little point in paying extra or a full fare if it doesn't mean better seating.

THAI AIRWAYS ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 7 April 2011 by  Peter Highfield   (UK)

Very dated seat but good pitch. No adjustment for heightening the seat back. The top of the seat back was level with my neck. Very poor head support at each side of the top of the seat back. Very old fashioned in-flight entertainment system - grainy screen on each bulkhead with no choice of entertainment.

BKK-LHR-BKK. 34 inch pitch is more than many other airlines offers and a generous recline. For a 12 hours flight between Thailand and Europe this becomes the best choice - especially with the added bonus of kind efficient cabin crew, great food and complimentary wine, beers etc

I fly Thai for the extra legroom of the other carriers to Australia from London (Malaysia excepted). With 34 inches and a good recline it is amongst the best seats in economy. The downside is the pitiful central TV screen, apparently they are updating their aircraft soon so the LHR-BKK sector has an avod system. II managed to sleep for nearly 8 hours on the BKK-LHR a record for me. At 6 foot tall leg room is very important.

Seat 52K BKK-LHR, superb seat and would recommend others to book. Its the last row before a gap for the exit so nobody sat behind you. Superb service with the only downside being no personal IFE. Take your I-pod and it would be hard to find a better economy airline. Better than EVA and BA.

LHR-BKK-LHR. The legroom on Thai is excellent, so much better than other airlines. Service is good and food is good. It makes the long flight so much more pleasant. Only downside is no seat back IFE - take your own if you can.

The seats are very comfortable. Probably the most comfortable I ever flew with. It was a highly pleasant experience, even it was only Economy. Can only recommend.
