Thai Airways has set the date of December 1 for its first A380 flight between London Heathrow and Bangkok.
The A380 TG911 will fly daily London to Bangkok departing at 11.50 (ETA 06.10) with the return A380 TG910 departing Bangkok at 01.10 (ETA 07.15).
An A346 will operate on THAI’s second daily flight: the TG917 departing London at 21.35 (ETA 15.55) and the TG 916 departing Bangkok at 12.50 (ETA 18.55).
Relative to the next largest aircraft, the Boeing 747-400, the A380-800 offers 50% more cabin area on its two full-length upper and lower decks, larger windows and overhead bins and more headroom.
The standard cabin layout allows between 525, but Thai has kept the number down to 507 passengers to maximise space and comfort.
The seats are arranged in three classes – 12 in Royal First Class, 60 in Royal Silk, and 435 in Economy.
