New TG route (BRU-BKK) not showing on ANA...
Hi,
TG have begun selling seats on their new service from BKK-BRU but I can't see them in the ANA redemption availability charts. Does anyone know when these flights might show up on ANA?
Cheers!

TG don't exactly have a great track record in actually starting up new routes that they announce.
I'd wait until they actually start selling tickets and the first aircraft lands in BRU

But the tickets ARE already for sale on their website. That's why I'm curious to know when availability might be searchable on ANA...

I would expect maybe 2-3 weeks for ANA to pick upon those. Maybe longer as I'm just guessing here. Only reference I have is changes to equipment on already operated routes sometimes took a few weeks to reflect fully.

Great connections from SYD-BKK-BRU-MAN. Just what I've been holding out for!

On the upside, finally a connection to Asia that I can use the (BD operated) BRS-BRU route on. (Previously they all involved BRS-BRU-ZRH/FRA/MUC/CPH-XXX). This is good.
On the downside - a 5 hour connection at BRU on the outbound. This is not unusual on the BRS-BRU flight, which seems to be exquisitely not-well-timed.
I might try a redemp booking to SYD/BNE/MEL around November.

For anyone not monitoring the "successful redemptions" thread, I booked a BRU-BKK flight yesterday via the ICC with no difficulty. Plenty of availability when I was checking beforehand, flying in late December with a connection to SYD.
