Thai Airways is slowly getting ready to receive its Boeing 787 Drea,liners, and introducing them to its network.
The good news is that reservations are open for these flights now. The two routes have been confirmed as
- Bangkok Suvarnabhumi to Perth Airport (Australia)
- Bangkok Suvarnabhumi to Tokyo Narita (originally Haneda, now switched to Narita)
The timetables have been published too for these routes:
Bangkok – Perth

It seems the configuration of the plane has been confirmed too with these flights opening, with Thai operating their Boeing 787 Dreamliners in a 264 seat configuration made up of:
- 24 Business Class Seats
- 240 Economy Class seats in 3-3-3 formation
With bookings open, I strongly suspect if you’re after a Star Alliance redemption – seats should be available too…
