TG682 BKK->HND Aircraft
Hi TG'ers,
Airgroove and my significant other are flying SYD->HND in C mid-July and I have just noticed that TG682 has changed to A330 for the entire month of June...
Does anyone have insight if this is only a swap for the month of June for TG682; or may also extend to July? Currently, the schedule shows a 747 APS aircraft for July and we are booked up in the bubble and hope it stays that way?!
Any insight much appreciated.
Cheers,

Might have something to do with the delayed introduction of the 787 on BKK<>HND. I think TG plans to eventually replace all 330 with 787s.

Thanks 5khours 
If they are switching to the A330 - one would hope it is the new cabin... Sending the old A330 bird to TYO would be a bad choice given the lucrative Japan market. If the A330 is still flying in July - we will be well naffed-off to find the older A330 cabin for the o/night flight!

We want to be drinking bubbles, up in the bubble! Love the 747 iron bird - my ultimate aircraft.

No
The political unrest along with TG mismanagement is killing the company

They decrease the NRT services but increase the HND services. So, the overall BKK-Tokyo services is the same.

NRT used to be daily 380, 747, and 340 > now: daily 380, 747 5x/wk, 330 4x/wk.
So a very slight increase, but with the political/economic situation in Thailand would not surprise me if there were further changes.

[QUOTE=5khours;22953446]So HND used to be a daily 777 (then 747) > now: 747 2x per day
Just got bumped from F to J BKK to HND on July 5 due to more F on this route. There seams to be 1 a330 and 1 777 flight per day replacing the 2 747s.
Have asked to be put into F on one the NRT flight with F instead.
