Even though I have no status (yet) with Thai Airways or Star Alliance, I am fortunate to be able to select an Emergency Exit row seat at the front of this Airbus A380 mammoth. My seat, 31K, is a window seat with nothing but space as large as my apartment in front of me. It has all the requisite sockets for charging and is quite comfortable.
Our flight begins with a hot paper towel service just after take-off, followed by a meal. I have pre-ordered seafood with quite a selection, peas, and mashed potato. There is also a fruit box, croissant with butter and jam, fruit juice, yogurt, and water, followed by coffee.
During the short 2-hour flight, I watch BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2016 concert featuring a number of British artists and headed by Coldplay.
The service is friendly enough, and efficient.
