Now there is only the OS flights left with acceptable dep. times ex. Europe and BKK - Pls dont change! It is beyond me why LX choose a dep. time corresponding more or less with the TG flight ex. ZRH. The current LX evening flight has a significant advantage over the noon TG flight which will now vanish.
I suppose this will make the TG evening flights ex MUC and FRA and the TG midnight flights to FRA and ZRH even more popular...

Actually I don't see a problem. Route is mostly O&D from ZRH anyway and times are more convenient for leisure pax IMO. Connecting traffic is not a really important for this route anyway and it allows higher fleet utilization with a turnaround of only 2h 20mins in BKK vs 8h 45min today.
Along with the announced additions for GRU & MIA (see below) it makes absolute sense, making more money with the existing fleet leading to higher fleet usage ...
GRU now up to 11 weekly

Well I for one will no longer use this flight. And I fly to/from BKK 4-5 times per year. I would leave often Sunday evening to arrive for a Tuesday meeting, or return after a meeting and be back in time for meetings the next day. I would also use BKK for SEA connections including KUL and SGN, even ex SEL due to the time difference. No more, this is really really stupid.

There are other routes with more local pax.

However I would now use the direct SIN flight instead for connections or flying at night to ZRH.

Landing at 19h30 will let me take my connection to GVA or CDG and have a good night sleep before attacking the next day ^
I mostly fly ex-SIN but might make a detour via BKK on some occasion.

No - excellent change
I hate these very late night departures and TG departs from Zurich for lunchtime since ever.

LX could use the A/C of LX92 which arrives in GRU at 05:50 to operate LX2695.
But with LX2694 only arriving in GRU at 18:45 it's not possible to keep LX93 operating at 18:30 as is.
To BKK:
TG971 ZRH 13.30 - BKK 05.50 +1 (LX4300)
LX180 ZRH 17.50 - BKK 10.40 +1
From BKK
TG970 BKK 00.40 - ZRH 07.25;P +1 (LX4301)
LX181 BKK 13.00 -ZRH 19.30
I'm sure LX looked at BKK yield losses due to time change but probably more than offset by the increases to MIA/GRU and decided to go for it anyway.

With this schedule from GRU it looks there will changes in the schedule of LX93 (current GRU-ZRH) or the schedule for LX2695 is incorrect.

Well actually currently it is 18:30 (I was typing my previous message yesterday looking at the departure board in GRU
). As of the LX2694/5 introduction end of October timing (which I disregarded) LX93 is indeed moved to 20:30
