Do HY (Uzbekistan Airways) still do BHX-JFK? They used to have another obscure one in Eastern Europe: RIX-somewhere, or similar.

And i believe KLM & Emirates also fly a destination from BKK. Can't think of where right now.

I've taken that Lufthansa flight 2 or 3 times now. Every time I've flown it, it had no more than 40-50 passengers. However, I was told that their cargo loads were impressive.

KLM flies TPE-BKK as part of their TPE-AMS service. It always seems to be full with Taiwanese tourists, but honestly, for less than 200 USD all in, who can complain! (CI, TG, and BR charge over 400 for the same route)
