Jump to postWelcome to Thailand! Bangkok 6-7 flights daily (mostly 380), Phuket 2 daily in winter and even 3rd on some days!
It is not so free-trade world as ones wish after all.
Does this have to do with politics? The Philippines, Vietnam and India are in Cat I, seriously? I have so much questions on their maintenance records and operations at their many airports.
Let's just buy more Boeing and you will be back to Cat I in no time.
Wow, 787-styled window dimming in Business and First class!
Too bad they are going 3-4-3, 10 abreast in Y. But total seat count is the same as others' Airbus 321!
Curious to see the retrofitted cabin as well. I think I saw the old SQ 330 seatmap appears on aircanada.com so not sure if the retrofit is just the seat cover part.
On a side note, PR could operate those LAX, SFO, YVR flights simply because there are enough pax. Many Filipinos (live and) travel between home country and those destinations year round. While less Malaysian, Thai and Indonesian live in the US/Canada. I guess that is the same case why Thai makes pro...

Jump to postSo now QR A380 destinations are LHR, CDG, SYD, MEL and now PER. They really like flying them to Australia!!

Jump to postBack to the cancelled 4 QR A359s. Will there be rumour of TK taking them around airliners.net? So much false news TK taking this and that plane. First, TK taking TG 380s, which TG never knew about the interest nor interested to lease them out. Recently, TK taking current QR 787s, wow, seriously? QR ...
Jump to post-Slap those faces whom spread untrue rumors about THAI cannot operate 380 and TK are taking them? Seriously?

Jump to postAs a residence of Phuket, very excited to see TK bird at HKT. Hope they could get better slot and make it daily flight.

Jump to postThank you for sharing. Everything looks so nice on THAI 787 Business class.
