The BKK-LAX now leaves at 0730 approx, this shaving a full day off of what ever plans you may have had in BKK. Layover in SEL is about an hour.

TG will now no longer serve the U.S. nonstop. A sad development...
Using the 777-200ER? And I was hoping for a competitive product...

I donīt see why anybody would choose TG now over any of the other Asian carriers. TGīs main competitive advantage was the non-stop flight, certainly not price and not the hard (or soft) product.
