Should i fly Thai again

[Lostandfound]

Just to piss me off Thai have told me my booking class was ineligible to accrue air miles,£580 no air miles so will not bother them anymore.
On a lighter note as we were coming in to land at swampy the pilot gave a weather report he mentioned low cloud.
Looked out the window whilst taxiing to the gate,fog mate not low cloud.

Got stung on that too. December 2011 to London 47000 baht ticket in economy and no miles. Flight was less than half full so managed to bag four seats for some sleep.

After they just canned the only decent CEO they have ever had because he could not be bought I think my association with Thai is over. I have not flown Thai for over 8 years, but fly Nok once in a while as they go from DM airport. They have been good, but are owed by Thai.

No more for me.

Just been on Thai ... round trip ....

To and fro BKK..747-400 approx 1/2 capacity but farangs are packed up in seats over the wing whilst Thai passengers are sprawled across 3 or 4 seats. I move to better seat(s)...but many do not.

Back to EU and the same thing...about as subtle as the KKK....again I got a double seat for having a (quiet) moan.

Picked up luggage and the two FO's were only just out of (Chinese) nappies...Scared the shite out of me when I saw them. Captain was experienced but would you rely on your car being an automatic and in cruise control...or else?

On both trips the cabin crew did what they had to as quickly as possible and then disappeared....although I have to admit seasoned travellers were kept thoroughly irrigated for the whole journey....and in my case a requirement to settle the nerves.

Having said that...I arrived and I returned. No worries about arriving...I used to maintain aircraft...I hate flying in a kite I did not service...I hate being driven in a taxi let alone an aircraft...I like to be in control of what happens to me...

I may not fly Thai again though...just for the KKK element about the trip.

I looked at the reviews before i booked not bothered about the decor long as the mechanics and the pilots are sound.
I am just getting bored with using the same airlines all the time.

flown them all, all beat North American Airlines.

Cathay P are real smooth, my preference if I get the chance

Brian Stocks Have only flown Thai Air three times in past ten years. Not over impressed, old aircraft (noisy) onboard service was acceptable but not outstanding, check in service at BKK was very badly organised compared with other airlines. 20 years ago Thai Air was Topps in every respect what went wrong?? Have used Eva Air all levels of service we quite adequate with a lower fare than Thai (but watch out for excess baggage, a couple of Kilo's will cost you an arm and a leg) Used Cathay Pacific via Hongkong excellent service on all counts (even though aircraft are getting old) only snag is the lay over in Hongkong makes BKK to LHR a 18 hour journey instead of the usual 11 but fares usually considerably cheaper. Also used Air Emerates not cheap but you can use any accumulated air miles with them to upgrade for part or whole of a journey only snag is changing planes in Dubai. Dubai airport not well organised for transit passengers long queues for repeated security checks you need at least two hours between flights to stand any chance of making your connection. Also at Dubai no where to sit as all seating seems to be taken by local overnight guests. (three seats each)
