If you want to change seats, just wet the one you've been allocated and loudly suggest it's pee.

 

  That is being deceptive

My friend likes a morning departure UK time

Nonstop in the morning to Bangkok won't come out nice.

Would land deep in the night.

Due to technical problems at SAS I once had a flight departing Kopenhagen about 11 AM. Landed about 3 AM at an empty Suvarnabhumi.

Opposite direction day time flights are possible like Finnair.

I did, did you not read my post properly?

My friend looked recently for flights leaving end of November returning to UK near the end of January.

 

Economy both ways. BA from Gatwick was nearly £500 more expensive than similar flight with Thai Air from Heathrow.

 

I always use EVA from Heathrow myself. Flew from London last Friday night and actually got a free upgrade at the boarding gate as the flight was full. That hasn't happened for a long time. Have EVA gold card though and travelling alone so that was probably why. Was a pleasant surprise.

Thanks for that... more informative than some replies.

   Yes, I did read your post properly, you refused a request from airline staff

Yep! It is dreadful, I don't know how this is allowed to go out.

And pretty sure Bob Scott doesn't even exist.

 

I can assure you that @bob smith is alive and well.

No airline compares with KLM where bad service is concerned. I paid extra for a seat with extra legroom, I was told to vacate it just before the plane took off. I refused, then one of the cabin crew started getting a bit nasty, so not wanting to cause any trouble I let them move me to another seat.

100% agree their AMS-BKK flight is awful

In a move that’s set to soar to new heights.....

.....made known she is over the moon about bringing back this sky-high connection.

The flight frenzy took off on October 28.....

Expect a fourth and fifth weekly flight to keep those skies buzzing.

......with a whopping total of 332 seats up for grabs.
....spreading their wings to explore Chiang Mai

.... due to the pesky pandemic, which clipped its wings

....air travel between the UK and Thailand is about to take off like never before
....prepare for a staggering 552 flights and 174,864 seats ready to whisk you away
...Joining the mighty BA on these routes are Thai Airways International, EVA Air, and TUI UK (Charter) – because when it comes to travelling, it’s plain sailing ahead.

I know we're not allowed to criticise these articles and I'll probably get told off, but seriously can a human not just read these first and go "ooh, AI has gone a bit over the top with dreadful cliches and nonsensical phrases on this one (I mean "the flight frenzy took off" doesn't even make sense!), let me just tone it down a bit".

I just can't read their articles any more - surely they lose readers because of it.

Looks like they might fly direct to LHR, but use Qatar for LGW....???

 

BA does not do BKK-LHR direct, only LGW.

 

You are probably picking a return date where they either don't fly BKK-LGW or it's sold out.

When I checked out availability on this route about three months ago when the route/dates were first announced, it was under£800 r/t.

 

If you are looking at dates for next month and high season, pretty much all carriers will be more expensive, especially the non-stoppers.

.Of course I did, I paid for that seat, but I had the sense not to argue with them. So what would you have done?

I suppose you would just have said "it doesn't matter that I have paid for the seat, I can just take another one".

It's in the small print of AF-KLM's (and many other airline's) conditions of carriage that regardless of flight class, pre-selected or check-in seat assignment, they can and will ask you to change seats.
