Etihad flight EY473 departs Brisbane three times per week on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 12:25pm, arriving in Singapore at 6:25pm.
It connects with codeshare flight EY7722 (operated by Bangkok Airways) departing Singapore at 8:10pm and arriving in Koh Samui at 9:00pm.
On the return, Etihad flight EY7721 (operated by Bangkok Airways) flies three times per week on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, departing Koh Samui at 4:30pm and arriving in Singapore at 7:20pm the same day.
This flight connects with Etihad’s Singapore to Brisbane service EY470 which departs Singapore at 11:15pm and arrives in Brisbane at 9:05am the next morning.
