Review of Thai Airways flight from Bangkok to Munich in Economy

Hello everyone, welcome to the final leg of my trip to Hong Kong. This report will cover the last part of the flight from Bangkok to Munich with Thai Airways.

After I got off the plane from Hong Kong, the shuttle bus took me to the terminal, somewhere close to gate D5. I found that my flight TG924 to Munich was assigned to gate E3. I went directly to the security check for transfer and there were literally no passengers and I was through in no time.

Same as the previous flights, I had my boarding pass stored on my mobile phone.

I arrived at the gate at 23:23pm, since there were plenty of time to boarding, I went back to the shopping street and brought some Thai souvenirs. Then I returned to the gate.

Boarding started at 0:24am.

My seat 36A. This time I selected a seat closer to the front, so that I could get off the plane earlier in Munich. There was already someone seating at the aisle seat, so I did not take any photo of my seat.

Pillow, blanket and earphone were placed on the seat.

The tail camera.

At 0:42am, it was announced that the flight time would be 10 hours and 40 minutes, besides weather information was also given.

About 3 minutes later, boarding was completed. The cabin light was dimmed and safety video was played.

Next to us parked a All Nippon Airways B787-10 from Tokyo Narita, JA902A would be flying back to Tokyo Narita at 7:00am as NH806.

At 1:02am, we started to pushback. 

While we were taxing to runway, we met another All Nippon Airways plane. Perhaps it would operate the flight NH848 to Tokyo Haneda.

We took off from runway 19R at 1:16am.

5 minutes after takeoff, seatbelt sign was turned off and the cabin light was gradually becoming brighter. I was browsing the film database and ended up with the old movie, The Day The Earth Stood Still. 

About 10 minutes later, dinner was served. This time the beverage cart was coming back, so I got my orange juice almost at the same time.

After the meal, we were told to lower the window shade as the cabin attendant collected our tray. Then I went to the lavatory.

The front section of the economy class.

Coming back from the lavatory, the cabin light was soon dimmed. I then fell asleep for 30 minutes. I checked the flight map and we were flying over India.

And we still have 7 hours and 30 minutes to Munich.

After I finish the movie, I was getting sleepy again and slept for one and half hour. When I woke up, we were flying over Iran.

Then I started to watch the John Wick: Chapter 4.

At 7:18am, a cabin attendant was passing by and distributing egg sandwich. I also got a bottle of water afterwards. I kept watching the movie for around 40 minutes and then I slept for roughly 35 minutes.

At 9:52am, cabin light was turned on. I opened the window shade.

We had reached the coast of Bulgaria.

About 20 minutes later, breakfast was served. It was a western style, Frittata Served with Chicken Sausage, Fried Potato Wedges, Ratatouille and Buttered Broccoli.

Had a cup of coffee.

When I finished the meal, I watched another Japanese show called Detective Team 9

At 11:21am, announcement from the cockpit that we were 30 minutes away from landing and the descend had begun. We expected to land at 6:55am local time.

From the tail camera, we could see that we had aligned on the runway for final approach.

At local time 6:44am, we landed on runway 26L and we were 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Total flight time was 10 hours and 28 minutes.

We parked at gate 47/48 of terminal 2.

Last view of my aircraft. But also the first time to see the plane so clearly. HS-THD, delivered to Thai Airways in April 2017.

We flew through Myanmar, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria and finally Germany.
