Thailand Airlines Choices

[Beastly]

Going to Phuket next Feb (not for the first time) and are booking our flights now. The best prices are coming in from Eva Air and Malaysia Airways. Previously flown with Thai, B.A and Cathay Pacific.

I have heard that not all Eva flights carry the headrest screens (which is a definite requirement due to girlfriends fear of flying!)

Has anyone flown with either airline? Would you recommend either? Has Malaysia definitely got the personal screens on all its fleet?

Third alternative is to fly with Singapore on the new A380 which will guarantee the above but for an extra �150 each.

Long winded I know but I will be greatful for suggestions.

Thanks

Maybe too late an answer but I know of 2 people who have flown with Eva and both reports were excellent.

Don't think the headrest screen is in the economy section though.. maybe wrong, ring and check with them

Thanks, it is a few weeks until I actually book, so further help will be appreciated.

You would be flying on the Boeing 747 and going by this link, it doesn't look like there would be TV screens on the headrests.

With Malaysia Airlines, it looks like there is TV's in the headrests

I have been on MA before, but it was a few years ago and I don't recall TV's in the headrests but it was a short flight from KL to Bangkok, however it was pleasant all the same.

I forgot to say, you'd definately be on the 747 with MA.
