Bangkok reserved seat

with the exception of british airways,

are there any airlines who fly to bangkok which I can reserve seats with in advance.
I am 6 foot 6 - and I need to request and have confirmed extra leg room seats. I cannot wait for the possibility of the airport check in desk allocating me some.

i dont mind paying extra - but it is essential I have them.

so does anyone know of any airlines who offer it>?

    There are no airlines (a la Virgin) who would let you pre-book emergency exits for a price.

    EVA Air fly 6 times a week non-stop Heathrow - Bangkok, are a great airline, and have a premium economy (used to be called Evergreen Deluxe) now renamed something else. This is 2/3 the cost of BA Premium Economy, and I think better (not least for the pot noodles they serve you mid-film!).

    This is your best bet.

    So speaketh a 6ft 6 man who fly to Bangkok several times a year.

    If spending a bit extra is not feasable, fly Emirates / Qatar / Gulf / Etihad and break up your journey half way through.

    I'd check Thai airways, I'm sure I phoned up and picked the seats.
