Benjamin Webber 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 Hi, im back. I need some information for something. Im going to Paris Sunday 24th of June. Im going to leave KLIA at 8pm to Bangkok, then from there i'll take Thai airways international straight to Paris Charles-De-Gaulle. I know that i'll be traveling in a Boeing 747-400, in economy class. I want to know if there's some Personal TV touch screen in front of us. According to their website , their is some personal TV (http://www.thaiairwaysthailand.com/eng/TG/B748.php?mid=748#top). But while trying to be 100% sure, I checked some pics in airliners.net.... no pictures with personnal TV screens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any other things to do..... maybe buy alot of magazines.. Oh one more thing..... tell me there's at least a big screen for everyone? Welcome Back!

Andrew K 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 Hey. Thai is pretty good in eco. Yeah, Thai has mainscreen for the 747's, like the a330 and a300. Don't expect top notch entertainment options though. Audio selection is a hit and miss thing. I like their Thai Music Journey channel. Gives Thai instrumental music. Cheerful and semi funky. My advice is: Sleep! Thai crew are good. The ones I had were cheerful and ready to help. Food is good too. Nice portions and pretty tasty. Cheers to your journey with Thai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You get the 77W on the CDG route, with the New Generation KrisWorld IFE. Plus the legendary SQ service. Edited May 13, 2007 by Keith T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azuddin 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 My kind of travel -Bring along a crossword puzzle book, kinda helpful for boring trip. -Make sure the flight has models for sale in their duty free in-flight sale, i bought the model and never tired of admiring it and realize my trip almost end. -I bring my PDA with me the whole time, with some movies, mp3 and games in it. -I bring along my laptop and put on my FS2004 when it's boring. -I ask for a lot of pepsi when i can't sleep, sometimes 10 cups. -Get a cup of cofee and drink it without sugar to make it strong, trust me, you can fall asleep quickly. -I walk around the cabin with my camera, especially on a 747. -Lay my hand on anything i get my hands on, like magazine, safety card, air sick bag and other stuff. -Talk to the stranger next to me. Just start with a hello and not talk too much, because the stranger next to you might be too friendly. what's worst, he might still has his jet lag from previous flight.

See what kind of stranger you dealing with, for my flight from IAH-EWR, my neighbor(next seater) is a really hot gurls, and happen to live at the same area. God, we still talk to each other ........if you tend to take pix, as A LOT, talk to ur neighbor, so he/she doesn't find that weird 2 cents Edited May 13, 2007 by Seth K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just start with a hello and not talk too much, because the stranger next to you might be too friendly. what's worst, he might still has his jet lag from previous flight. Gotta be very careful with this. I once got told off by one of those business executive types for disturbing him just by saying hello. He wasn't even doing any work at that time (prep for take off so he wasn't allowed to turn on his laptop anyway). My FA friends were also working in the same cabin and secretly told me they thought that dude was a pain in the behind anyway so I guess I wasn't missing much. But OTOH I've also made life long friends out of seat mates. On most red eye flights it won't be long before the booze knocks me out. PTV is only important to me for day flights and only when I've run out of things to read. if you tend to take pix, as A LOT, talk to ur neighbor, so he/she doesn't find that weird Hehe I once got mistaken for being a journalist/travel writer by my seatmate. He turned out to be Steve Creedy, Aviation Writer for The Australian. Edited May 13, 2007 by Keith T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true, not all stranger next to you are friendly. My last CO flight IAH-LAX, in first class, the french lady next to me were not that friendly. She even speak to the steward in a rude manner. after seeing that kind of behavior, I just sit quietly and turn on my laptop and put on FS9. Most of my other flight, i have the stranger next to me are very friendly. Some of them are Australian, Mexican, Chinese. but the time when i sit next to the mexican guy, he was very friendly indeed, kinda talk a lot but at least keep me accompany on a boring red eye flight, and i can't sleep sine i still have my jet lag from my previous flight.
