..or will they give that 2nd flight up by mid January and operate it only during high demand periods?

Very strange why not during those 4 weeks which at least on most days should be the very top of the season!

Today TG 922 on Dec 12 shows as A 340-600 in my UA itinerary again. This is a real roller-coaster.

Sorry, my fault, meant of course TG 922 and I corrected it. However,
I am coming in on TG 432 and my UA itinerary shows no equipment
details any longer. Used to be a A330. Not overly concerned about
that one, though.

and - what a coincidence - SYD is back to B747 with F-class compartment again (see related threat "SYD changes")
Seems it's more promising for Thai to continue offering F-class on that route instead of increasing the capacity to Frankfurt by Jumbo jet besides A380...

Just think about LH that is seriously considering cancelling the FRA-BKK service all together since there is no money to be made on that route....just too much competition into BKK!
Why LH can not make $$$ on that route ?

a cheap eco FRA-BKK-FRA on LH costs aprox 980,- Euro all in mid Jan rt.
a cheap eco FRA-LAX-FRA on LH costs aprox 820,- Euro all in mid Jan rt. and LAX is even 300 miles more each way, and USA destinations are more costy ( taxes and fees for the Airline than BKK )
And BKK is almost always full in both classes !

But too bad , TG not start the new DUS Routing. I would be very happy to see them flying to NRW DUS or even CGN !
NH also implemented a service between DUS and NRT !!!

Mine has switched back on 12/18 from an A340 to a 747..... TG roulette.

All of our PNRs now show B747 for mid Dec (TG 923). Is there any possibility of them cancelling this flt altogether? I thought the fall and winter schedule is being finalised this week.
Does it mean that if the flt is not cancelled say by next week, it will not be cancelled at least for the rest of the year?

January is not peak season for Europe-North America travel in Y (it's actually low season). It is much closer to a peak season for SE Asia.

Also, nobody but LH flies FRA-LAX nonstop. LH competes with TG on FRA-BKK nonstop.
