Eva Air - London to Bangkok
Just on Eva's website to check some dates in May / June and am slightly confused as what day's in the week are available, how many day's a week do Eva fly on this route ?
Many thanks

Thanks for the link, interestingly the week I want to fly out ( 22 May ) no flights on Mondays & Thursdays but on the return week ( 4 June ) Eva are flying out everyday of the week.
Is there any reason for this, or is this quite normal ?
Thanks

"Officially" they fly daily and put this on their advertising.
Since the opening up of mainland China routes, this is where the money is. We often see flights removed from the London schedule.
So I suspect these "scheduled" cancellations are to do with that - they are redeploying aircraft where they can make the most cash. This has been going on for some time now.
The reason isn't really made public. I know it has annoyed agents in London who have taken bookings for brits on their annual holiday only to have to phone them and reschedule.
It might be maintenance or some other reason. Dave Z might know, I'm just speculating. But it is "normal", sadly.

For as many years as I can remember, in May / June BR have canx a few LHR flights (with lots of notice) that I can only put down to aircraft servicing during their quietest periods.
But they should be daily, and i'm not aware of any tactical cancelling at any other time of the year.

I think that would make it 5 flights a week? (Usually everyday - 7, but with 2 cancelled?)
7-2= 5 days, no idea were i got the 4 from.. lol
