Does anyone who has got to check in first know what time it opens.

Travelling alone so want to get a good seat.

Phone them up and get your seat allocated beforehand.

Done that already.Got aisle seat which is o.k but was thinking that if the flight isnt full maybe at check in i could get some seats blocked and sit alone.Done it before but need to get to check in first.

The online check-in facility is available 24 hours prior to departure (I think). How are you going to prevent anyone choosing the seat next to you in the intervening (20 hour) period?

If the flight isn't full, wait till after take off and then go look for a better seat.

No good. Apparently, Thai Airways has been taken over by the Pattaya Songthaew Cooperative and now they just wait until they are full.

If thats the case, i'll happily pay 10 baht for the Thai flight.

To reply to your query, as I can see where you're coming from, about 3 hours usually, I am not sure who Thai use as handling agents at LHR, Eva use AA and they open up over 4 hours before.

I believe that Thai use Air Canada as handling/cargo agents at LHR, and they not the quickest people out of the block. But saying that, my last flight on Thai was the lunchtime flight about 2 years ago, and i managed to check in at 07.30am.

I am sure check in at the airport(bag drop) opened 3 hours before on my trip last xmas

Go online check in and select the very last row, I usually book the RH window seat. never had anyone sit next to me in more than 20 flights.

[pattaya_mad 208]

i just rang thai to try and book a window seat, departure Jan 13th, they told me they only had a few left and coming home i could only have a aisle seat, this would indicate most of their flights are pretty much full right now

I rang Thai airways and a really unhelpful woman told me that all the back few rows with 2 seats by the windows were all booked already.Also i couldnt book an exit row seat at check in either.

Yes, and its always women and 99% foreigners.When i speak to a bloke on the phone they are much more helpful.

Seems the women have always got a superior attitude.

[Gus 97]

The woman don't like you because they know you are going out to Thailand for the LBFMs most of whom are prettier,sexier etc etc than a frumpy old falang woman.

Exactly

[alphacat 12]

Check in opens 3 hours before departure but sometimes some are open earlier.

[alphacat 12]

I never sit at the back if possible its often too hot and asways noisy as you would expect.

I like to sit at the front as you get there sooner.

I prefer the back, if the fucker runs into a mountain I will live longer.

[pattaya_mad 208]

i prefer the seat on top of the black box , that fucker always survives

[jacko 8,813]

Upstairs in the jumbo or A380 is good too.... you can see better from up there!

Can you check in online to choose yor seat and then check in again at airport for luggage drop and boarding pass?.

My printer isnt working.

I usually check in online to get my seat then head to the counter at the airport and go to the baggage drop counter, they print my boarding pass for me there.
