Thai Airways just confirmed it will eliminate its First Class cabins and shift to a fleet-wide three-class model: Business, Premium Economy, and Economy. As Thai continues to rebuild, the changes are being cast a necessity in a changing premium market. But for those of us who have enjoyed First Class on Thai over the years, the change means letting go of one of aviation’s most luxurious experiences, at least historically speaking.
For years TG (along with MH and GA) have attempted to position themselves akin to SQ, largely for national prestige reasons. The reality is that the respective local markets aren’t high-yielding enough.
Glad TG woke up and finally smelt the flowers.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
