Check In

It was a connecting flight from Hong Kong transferring at Bangkok. So I had to checked in at the transfer desk instead. The staff should improve her communication skills and knowledge in the system. I am truly disappointed with her.

Departure Hall

Bangkok airport is HUGE. So be sure to have a lot of time in your hand for a flight. Otherwise you might end up missing it. My aircraft were previously parked at the opposite side of the terminal. So I had to walk almost 2km to the transfer counter. It's tiring but walkaltor help a little bit.

Aircraft

They were using the Boeing 747-400 today. It is nicely maintain and clean internally and externally. The seat is comfortable and the space is good enough.

Cabin Crew

I can say that some crew are great while some are not. Perhaps they would improve in time for everyone to have an excellent service to the passenger. I particular would extend my gratitude to the crew in charge of my section. He is great and helpful throughout the flight.

In Flight Entertainment

I was surprised that there were no individual entertainment system in each seat. The aircraft is equip with overhead tv. Short show were shown for the flight.

Meal

A very light meal were provided. Sandwich accompanied with Banana Cake and Dried Pineapple. Note: I did not eat the Sandwich due to Ham was served.
