Same concern for me. As they have completely removed it from the Winter 12/13 schedule, I think we will have to wait for the Summer 2013 schedule before we know what date the A380 will be serving that route from.
Is BKK-CDG meant to be the the third or the fourth A380?

"From December 15 the A380 will strut its stuff on the first long-haul route with daily flights between Bangkok and Frankfurt (TG920/921), with the Singapore and Hong Kong services going back to smaller aircraft.
As of January 16, 2013, Tokyo's Narita airport will be added to the daily list (TG676/677), with Paris-Charles de Gaulle following from February 16 (TG930/931)."

Right, back on topic 
Now the TG 380 has flown for a while, what is the F cabin experience on "traffic"?
In the 744 cabin 1A was the best, no one would be there unless someone needed something from the storage.
On the TG 380 this seems less so, there is a lavatory 1A.
The question; what is in front of 1A and 1K? (I assume lavatory and common area). and what is behind 3A and 3K?
Thanks,

Lavatory is in front of 1A. F lounge is in front of 1K. Galley is behind 3A and 3K then biz class behind that. Just flew it on the 19th. Great hard product.

TG are certainly tinkering with the CDG route. More changes today with a reduction in CDG-BKK flights in February (albeit only decreasing by 1 flight per week):

Thankfully it was a short hop to HKG as my seat, 1F, did not recline and the cabin was full. We were given a bottle of Dom to take home for that.
Also they could not make a latte that was hot while Americano was quite good. I'm guessing the steamed milk was anything but steamed....
Nice cabin, nothing great. The forward bathroom, in front of A1, is quite spacious and more interesting than the one behind 3K.
The crew was very nice.
We have a flight back today and the cabin is showing 4/12. This will hopefully be a better flight with quicker service.... and a working seat!

You said there is a bathroom behind 3K, I am in 3K from FRA to BKK. As 3A is free too so might ask to change. No bathroom behind that one?
Have a great flight back, let us know how it was?
