I’m Sooo Confused
SEAT TECH

This is the seat controller in Business Class on Thai Airways. I avoided the urge to micromanage my posture and stuck with the default positions of the three buttons on the bottom. Nice to have sleeper seats in Business, even though they are quite narrow and the arm rests are too rigid. I found it difficult to sleep on my back — my elbows cramped up against the consoles — but quickly nodded off when I flipped over on my side. A good choice was my decision to chuck my MP3 player and explore Thai’s collection of on-demand audio. I sampled modernized Thai traditional music and 10 rounds of vocal sparring by Cecilia Bartoli before drifting off into the dreamy angst of classic Bob Dylan.

Good to hear that Thai Airways is now going to offer premium economy class. They are finally getting wise to the fact that guys like me (and most businesses) can’t afford to pay US$6000+ to fly Business Class to Asia but would happily plunk down a few extra bucks to upgrade their comfort and sense of dignity from that of a chicken awaiting the hatchet.
