Quoting Raggi (Reply 2): What's the configuration?
30 Business Class seats in 5 rows with 60 inch pitch and 279 Economy Class seats with 31 inch pitch (at least that is the config of their older reconfigurated 772s)
Quoting Jfk777 (Reply 3): What engines does THai Have ? They look like Rolls Royce on the photos. Could they be GE?

Looking at the last photo, is it just me, or is the registration in an odd place? It appears to be on the cargo door. Or am I just seeing things funny?

Awesome shots, and nice weather too! Thai's new scheme is one of the most elegant around, one of those schemes you never get tired of looking at. Great job!

No it's going to be 34 inch pitch - THAI always have a generous long haul seat pitch. Thai 772ER will also have AVOD in economy along with in C
Quoting DeltaDAWG (Reply 5): Great shots, especially with the obvious overcast wheather. Love the livery - very classy. Hope Thai orders more.
There are actually rumours about THAI ordering more (maybe 10) but don't know if it will ever materialize.

Nope. The 31 inch pitch on the old B777's was for regional use only, when they also crammed 3-4-3 in Y, and 2-4-2 in J!!
Quoting Melflyer (Reply 19): Looks good, can't wait to see them in MEL come november.
Yes, 12 per week terminators... ie. delinked from SYD.
First one comes in on 29 October..
TG981/982.
immediate rotation, which means 1 aircraft for 5pw is fine...

I'll take 3-4-3 in Y with 34' seat pitch than 3-3-3- or 2-5-2 with 31' seat pitch any day of the year..

Quoting DAYflyer (Reply 16): Thats one classy livery on that bird.
It's interesting to read all the positive replies in this thread about Thai's livery. I recall a couple of years ago(?) when this new livery was introduced...All the comments like "too much Euro-white" or "looks like a UPS rip-off" etc. I do like it myself, although I've never seen it in person.

The last TG's 777-200A (HS-TJC), which has a 2-4-2 and 3-4-3 seating arrangement, was sent into the hangar for reconfiguration about a week ago. So now if you book TG flight and it shows code 772, you are definitely going to fly the retrofitted 777. And if the code says 777, then you are about to fly on the new 772ER.
See you no more, the cramped 3-4-3 seat configuration on TG's 777s!
26 FlyEmirates: EK please take note, I dont know how they can get away with their cramped configurations especially in J, all flights fairly full so pax dont seem to
27 GayrugbyMAN: When are Thai to announce the BKK - MAN service that is rumoured?
29 6thfreedom: So what's the config on the older B772s going to be?? 2-3-2 in J like MH and 3-3-3 in Y? or are they sticking with a 2-2-2 in J like their A346s. Per
