Also from airlineroute...the new 2 class 77W with staggered lie flat business will be operating the OSLO route (as well as NRT).

Don't know where you're coming from, but there's nothing nasty about the A340-600's.

Interesting....I'm seeing the A380 show up on BKK-FRA starting on December 15. It is replacing the 744 on that route while the leased 9W 77W sticks around.

Seeing it in the NH and AC award searches, as well as Galileo

TG's inventory display still shows 744 on/after 15DEC12 for the moment. Everything goes by individual carrier's inventory display, which KVS doesn't have the function for the moment.

So does this mean they have changed their mind and the first route will be BKK-FRA? Or are they using this as a test route (seems like an awfully long test route) before the BKK-NRT route? Unless they are getting several aircraft all at once, something doesn't make sense.

No. But keep in mind despite it's Star Alliance, data in the booking engine can still have discrepancies between individual carriers.

Additional info has been updated, as TG decided to update schedule on saturday...

The TG website also shows the A380 on HKG from late October.
