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.

I was pleasantly surprised with the legroom on outbound and inbound legs from LHR-BKK-LHR. Coupled
with excellent food, it all made for enjoyable flights despite their duration. I will definitely fly
Thai next time we visit Thailand.

For me the difference of 1" or 2" is sensible. That's why I like the legroom at Thai Airways. I
prefer flying with them to Asia.

Seat was 67A and very narrow on 0110 flight BKK - LON. This is the last row of 3 seats before it
narrows to 2 so reclining was no problem as there was no one behind me. View of the centrally
mounted screen was restricted by the headrests in front. Plane felt very old and tired. I am 6ft
2ins tall and 38 waist so not the largest of passengers.

TG offers the best confort in Y class even though it does not offer PTV. legroom comfort is the most
important for long haul flights.

Thai Airways still have their older style seats in the economy class on their B-747-400s between
Sydney and Bangkok and they are somewhat shabby and need replacing with a new product (similar to
those the airline has on their newer B-777s). However, the legroom is excellent and this makes up
for the lack of the individual in-flight entertainment screens and footrests.
