Huh? I thought Thai Airways was meant to be starting services between Bangkok and Jo'burg, with SAA possibly code-sharing?
I can't seem to find online schedules for this route for either airline at the moment though. Can anyone confirm?
SAA cut Bangkok from its network some time ago, IIRC stating that although loads were good, yields were low on that route...

Quoting B742 (Reply 1): When did they drop BKK and why, if I remember correctly the service was served by the 747SP, I remember seeing it late at night at BKK fairly often?
