TotallyOz Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 On my recent trip from Bangkok to USA, I had a First Class or Business Class seat. I used a Gold Certificate for the upgrade so it did not cost me any money other than the economy ticket. The regular cost of the seat is around 4500 US. That is almost 50 percent cheaper than any of the other airlines I have used for Business Class seats. Thai Air seats are comfortable but not flat bed seats. They are not as comfortable as Delta/NWA, Singapore or Cathay Pacific. The Delta Seats are comfortable for me and I have taken them for the majority of the trips I have used. I have also used Singapore and Cathay. I prefer Singapore Business to any of the above but the cost is very high compared to the other airlines. Cathay Pacific would be my next choice. Food on Thai Air Business is good. We were served a great meal with friendly attendants. For the main course on this flight, I had Lobster and the taste was very good. They had tons of liquor and booze for every course and the guy that was sitting next to me took advantage of all of them. The Fast Track for Thai Air is separate from the other Fast Track area. It is a dedicated area for Thai Air only and I have never had to wait in line. It is almost instant access to the airport. The Thai Air nonstop to LA is great and easy to use and the Business Class service makes the flight a breeze. I am interested in trying Qatar for a Business Class service on a future trip as I have heard good things about it. Quote
atri1666 Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 I am interested in trying Qatar for a Business Class service on a future trip as I have heard good things about it. Now i mostly only fly with them. I have their goldcard. The 777-300 has a super business class with big space and real flat bed. Here you can see interactive demos >> http://www.qatarairways.com/global/en/our-fleet.html I also like the short stay in Doha in the premium terminal (only for first and businessclass passengers) With goldcard they pick you up at the plane with big limo and also bring you alone to the plane Food and drinks have been outstanding.

Guest Kurt Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 So do we - we prefer Qatar to Thai Qatar has a super lounge in Doha and this makes your stay (mostly too short) very comfortable! The inflight service of Thai is sometimes soso l Quote
