Thai Airways First Class to Tokyo
Thai First Class from Bangkok to Tokyo Narita
With an early 4:00am wake up, it's time to head home, starting with a 7:30am Thai flight to Narita. Early morning means very little Bangkok traffic and I arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport at around 5:15am.
Thai has a civilized First Class check-in area, away from the masses. Come on dude, you couldn't find another place to stand?
Pleasant TG agent checking me in and doing the doc check dance.
My personal Thai escort to security and the lounge.
Newly refurbished in the past year, much different feel from the old First Class Lounge.
After I settled in, I headed to the dining area for some breakfast.
Both the Patongko and Won Ton were delicious.
Although I had asked to board early, that never happened as my personal escort finally showed up at T-25 for the long long walk to E8. In the pre-Covid days, Thai used to use golf carts to transport First Class passengers around the airport. Not sure what the deal was today.
I was warmly welcome on board by Purser Kit and Chef "Bob". This was the same 77W that flew my from NRT two days ago and apparently still experiencing seat issues. Not a problem since I was the only passenger in First today. I was moved from 2A to 2K on that flight as 2A was not fully functional. And today, 2K was having issues. Kit moved me to 1A which he assured me was fully functional... "the best seat on the plane". LOL.
Gorgeous cabin.
In the air, fantastic service again today. As with NRT-BKK, no printed menus although Kit showed my the options on his iPad.
Perfect Eggs Benedict.
After breakfast and a movie, I moved across the aisle where Kit had made my bed. Very comfy and I got nearly three hours of sleep.
We landed about 30 minutes late but didn't mind as the service was wonderful and I had plenty of connect time.
