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 !!!
