Hi all,
This could be my last opportunity on the Internet before I jet off to Thailand for a month tomorrow. Just wanted to say goodbye for a few weeks, but do not fear because I’ll be back! I’m also hoping to get online a few times whilst over there.
We’re not flying until tomorrow night at 9.30pm with Thai Airways International, but I’ve got a broken computer which limits how long I can be online for, still got to pack, and got to attend college tomorrow until 12.30pm. We’re leaving for Heathrow at about 4.45pm, arriving at about 5.30pm.
I’m really hoping for HS-TGW (Star Alliance) tomorrow. I’ve been discussing with A330Crazy recently just how often it has been in at LHR. It is certainly one of the more frequent visitors at the moment, along with TGX, TGY and TGZ. Unfortunately, there has not been a Royal Barge 747 in for 6 weeks or more! 😡
Anyway, have fun all of you. I’ll post a flight review when I get there hopefully. But the service offered by Thai is excellent, so it’s unlikely I’ll be reporting back to you with negative comments!
Don’t forget me! 😀
To finish with, here’s a shot of HS-TGW in January, shortly after departure from Heathrow.

That’s why you should have called months ago to get good assigned seats.

Thanks everyone. Managed to get onto a computer for an hour or so whilst the rest of the family finish off.
Last time, they wouldn’t give me a window seat because they had apparently been assigned already. I might tell them I have very mild claustrophobia and tell them that a window seat is essential 😀 Lots of action in Bangkok – last time I remember Lufthansa 744s, Finnair Md-11, Orient Thai Tristars and early 747s.
Speak to you all soon.

Last summer, the Royal Barge was showing up to Heathrow every other day, it seemed.
