- 12 in Royal First Class (configured as pitch of 83 inches and a width of 26.5 inches) on the upper deck
- 60 in Royal Silk Class (business class configured with a pitch of 74 inches and a width of 20 inches) on the upper deck
- 435 in economy spread across the entire lower deck with some seats on the upper deck
All seats are equipped with in-flight entertainment systems, communication outlets and individual power supply.
Thai will only have a few days to get used to their new aircraft as it meant to be flying from Bangkok to Hong Kong and Singapore from the 6th October.
along with KE, the best looking A380 to date
Now THAT is how you paint this monster airplane! Unmistakable. Certainly not another bland and boring white elephant in the sky.
Very much looking forward to BKK-FRA in 1A next year.
Provided the plane flies on the 6th I should be on it… in first…Lucky booking it looks like 🙂
