Thai Airways Boeing 747-400
Flight number TG 472
3 June 2012 at 15.55
Sydney to Bangkok, Seat no. 44H (isle)

Check in and Luggage Allowance:

The standard 20kg of luggage allowance applied. We had a smooth check-in at the counter very  quickly found ourselves having coffee and a snack before boarding time.

Seat / Cabin conditions: (pitch, width, seat configuration, comfort, decor)

Seat configuration – 3-4-3
Comfort level was a 7 /10. Seat was quite comfortable with a perfect pitch, pillows were fresh and fluffy and blanket was a very bright retro purple. It wasn’t a full flight so having a seat between every one gave passengers extra leg room to stretch their limbs.

Customer Service

Cabin crew were very polite and courteous. No request was too much trouble.

Meal & Snack Service

For the first meal, we had a choice of chicken in red curry with rice and steamed vegetables or roast pork fillet with potatoes and mixed vegetables. I opted for the curry which was quite tasty – the rice was fluffy and the curry was mild.
The second meal of noodles with a very generous serving of prawns and Asian greens was served 1.30hrs before landing.
