Not 100% certain as they only listed it as 7772/3-ER. Slightly different seat configuration between the two versions, according to SeatGuru, but not drastically different. I am only certain that it was the ER version and that they had a technical stop figured in for fuel, in Osaka (no change of planes or off-loading of passengers). Forced me to book a seat in the area where the seat configuration was identical to be sure I was getting what I wanted.

Read my last post. They already switched back to the A-345. I confirmed the booking change, but Thai Airways has yet to contact me about it. Good thing as I am weighing my options because I have domestic arrangements I already had to change when they switched AC/schedule the first time. That change cost me $100 and I just don't want to do that again if I can re-arrange my time and accomodations. I believe I can make it work if they will allow me to go a day earlier (12/27) and return a day earlier (1/3). So far, those flights have availability. I am pretty sure they will work with me since they made the change and because this is the second schedule and equipment change in less than 2 months. But I was scheduled on a 772/3-ER as the replacement aircraft.

Damit....They changed my schedule AGAIN because they switched the LAX-BKK route back to the A-345!!! Not that I mind a more direct option on a more favorable schedule, but I just got everything changed including my hotel and airport pick-up. Not going to change my domestic connection, tho, or I will incur another $150 change fee. The best I can hope for is that Thai Air will put me on the 12/28 flight as I can easily make that with my revised domestic connection, but will need to come back a day earlier to catch my domestic return after an overnight @ LAX. Given their track record, I am nervous to change as they might make another adjustment before I leave. I have NEVER had this problem with Thai Air before, but am now a bit upset at their business practices. Maybe it is a tactic to get me to cancel so they could then charge another passenger almost $500 more than I paid for my ticket a few months ago?

Copy that...I found that also. Just thought it was rather strange since they have yet to respond to my email, either. I really want to stay there and cancel my back-up reservation, but am hesitent to do so until they re-confirm the reservation changes, I made online about one month ago. Have been to LOS enough times to know that the electronic methods used around the rest of the world are not as reliable in Thailand. Thanks for the feedback.

Non-stop have ceased, but there is no change of planes on the new route. They sold their A-340's and replaced the route with 777. As a result, they need a refuel stop in Osaka, both directions. This was a recent change and required me to make major changes to my upcoming NYE trip to Pattaya. All worked-out well except that Nova Platinum has yet to re-confirm my reservation change request.

My emails have gone unanswered and their website appears to be down. Due to the schedule chage of Thai Airways #797 between LAX-BKK, I need to revise my reservation for arrival one day earlier. I will call them on the phone, if necessary, but would prefer not to have to make an international call to deal with this. I am scheduled to arrive on Dec 29 for 6 fun-filled days and nights in LOS. Appreciate any information that might be provided.
