Seat Advice Needed - First Class 747

We're booked (2 of us) on TG921 7 Dec 2011 first class - and have been assigned seats 2E and 2F. Are those good seats for two people or should I be looking to change them. (SeatGuru and SeatExpert are tough to use when it comes to first class seats.)

 

Yes, they are in my opinion the very best seats for a couple traveling together. 3E, F are just in front of the lavs. Some people say they prefer 1A, K but you can't really have an easy conversation due to the distance.

 

Thank you - I appreciate the information.

 

One quick question I have that may be pertinent for the original poster: Does TG still have 744s that have not been refitted with the new F product. I've heard of some people paying for an F seat only to get the early 1990s kind, are those now gone?

 

I don't know since I've never flown this route before. But based on the seat assignment and how they display on the Thai Airways website, it appears to be the newer (lie-flat) first class configuration.

 

Yes TG still has 6 7442 which still have old first class seats. These usually fly to CPH/ARN were the old F is sold as C and short hops to HKG, DPS and PEK. Of course this being TG, these aircraft can suddenly end up on any TG 747 route. But aircraft swaps has gotten a lot better after TG started leasing 77Ws from Jet.

TG also plan to retrofit the 7442s (which are the newest 747s in TG`s fleet) with new F (mini suites) and flat beds in C during 2012-13.

 

To be more on topic to your original question: I would book 1A and K in "new" TG first on 747. Me and my GF have no problem talking to each other across the aisle, and the first row seats really are the place to be

 

Thanks. I'll report back our experience after the trip in December.

 

Seats 2E/F were wonderful ... allowed very easy conversation between the two of us. Seats 1A and 1K would also have worked well, but since there were a few very loud people (yes, in first class!) conversation might have been a little more difficult.

Once again, thanks for everyone's comments.

 

Good to know, I'll be in TG F on the 744 from BKK to NRT on 1/5 , I haven't got a seat assigned yet so I'm hoping for a Window.
