Well it seems carriers and approvals are coming all together well, with Thai Airways International putting their stamp on a service from Bangkok to Tokyo Haneda
Services commence from 31st October 2010, and will operate on a daily basis.
Timings however are the usual HND madness, with the following listed:
All times are local.
Service is provided with a Airbus A340-500 in a two class (Business/Economy) configuration (and if it’s anything like the service I had when I flew Thai regionally, it should be a cracking business class service).
Thai also runs four daily flights to Narita for those of you who think timings are a bit odd or can’t make them work. No change in frequency has been announced for these flights.
With Haneda’s popularity due to the simple fact it’s a monorail ride to downtown Tokyo vs the long hike from Nartia, the demand for more slots will be needed soon, and slots at reasonable hours….
