Is THAI Airways making a mistake by removing its First Class? TG 676 - Bangkok 🇹🇭 to Tokyo Narita 🇯🇵

Our new channel, thanks for visit:    / @luxurytravelbyavgeek   Welcome onboard THAI Airways Royal First Class for a premium journey from Bangkok to Tokyo Narita onboard Boeing 777-300ER. This flight was much more than just another First Class review. It also felt like the opportunity to experience a product that is unfortunately approaching the end of its story. Over the past few years, THAI Airways has progressively reduced its First Class operations, and with only a three aircrafts still featuring a Royal First cabin, the future of this iconic product remained highly uncertain. And honestly, after experiencing this flight, it would be difficult not to feel that losing THAI Royal First would be a real shame. Because while the hard product is undeniably aging by today’s standards, the overall experience onboard remains incredibly enjoyable thanks to the exceptional soft product delivered by THAI Airways. THAI still succeeds in something that many competitors struggle to replicate: authentic hospitality and warmth. Throughout this journey to Tokyo Narita, the cabin crew were simply outstanding. The service felt elegant, attentive, refined, and genuinely caring from beginning to end. It’s a reminder that luxury in aviation is not only about the seat itself, but also about how passengers are made to feel onboard. The catering was another major highlight of the flight. THAI Airways continues to offer a very refined dining experience. The pace of the meal service was relaxed and sophisticated, perfectly matching the premium atmosphere of the cabin. Of course, there is no denying that the seat and overall cabin design now lag behind the latest generation of First Class products offered by some competitors. Today’s premium market increasingly revolves around fully enclosed suites, enhanced privacy, larger entertainment screens, and more modern cabin concepts. THAI Airways would clearly benefit from introducing a refreshed hard product with sliding doors and updated technology to remain fully competitive at the highest level. But despite those weaknesses, this flight proved that THAI Royal First still has a soul, something that cannot always be said about newer and more sterile premium products. There is a timeless elegance to the experience, helped enormously by the professionalism and kindness of the crew. In this detailed review, I’ll take you through every part of the experience, including: ✈️ Bangkok airport departure experience 🛋️ Royal First Class cabin and seat tour 🍽️ Complete First Class dining experience 🥂 Champagne, drinks, and onboard amenities 👨‍✈️ Service quality and crew impressions 🛏️ Comfort and sleeping experience 🎥 Cabin atmosphere and inflight experience 🇹🇭 My honest thoughts on the future of Thai Airways First Class Can THAI Airways still compete in the world of modern First Class travel? Does outstanding service compensate for an aging hard product? And is the airline making a mistake by progressively abandoning its First Class offering? Join me on this fascinating journey to Tokyo and let’s find out together.
