i talked to TG in Thailand/BKK today long time and they said they did not issue any fare schedule yet for DUS routing, and they had no idea where others (like this webpage) got a pricing from. TG Germany offices could not provide any official confirmation either, i talked to them just now.

Proposed schedule would mark the return of THAI’s service to Dusseldorf, since November 1990. This flight is currently not listed in the GDS nor open for reservation, therefore further changes remain highly possible.

the New DUS flight is showing up on the ANA award booking tool, but with no award availability (the old TG923 is also still there but with no seats).
Does anyone have experience with TG cancelling a route and how they handle the re-booking.
We have an award reservation on TG923 in mid-Dec in F, and didn't know if I should be proactive or wait for TG to change the reservation.
Thanks in advance for the assistance

Hi,
as they still insist that TG 923 exists it does not make sense to call them when I did they said all is fine I am confirmed........when I pointed out that all seats are 0 they claimed this would be a very popular flight that is always sold out
More interesting will be how they will rebook us - as I am not willing and able to accept a major time change!

Also really lowers the number of First Class seats on the route since Lufthansa has moved to a 2 class plane to BKK. Now the only direct First Class option FRA<->BKK will be on the single TG A380.

Ugg...a little nervous...it's part of a reward booking I have in December, YYZ-LHR-FRA-BKK...I've tweeted them and will call tomorrow. Maybe they can route me out of LHR to BKK after I land at 6:25am, and skip FRA completely?

I would wait until the changes are confirmed and updated in the GDS before calling, there is simply no point until then.

yes, they have opened the inventory again within today maybe as of many customers enquiries, most likely.
The email I received from BKK TG one hour ago also confirms that as of today TG922 flies and "we are now open for sales again" ^
there were only zeros in the system this morning (UTC+7).

vbroucek:
looking at the fare construction on the DUS non-stop route it finally showed to me that the fare is not a TG issued fare, but a YY fare base (which I dont know but assume its a general fare bucket?!? which google - the database of itasoftware.com - knows...)
yesterday also TG told to me that the officer in charge did not work on a fare construct for DUS yet...
as such, its not a TG issued fare, but still possible to price the route
