No more ICN-HKG by TG
From Oct 28th 2018, ICN-HKG-BKK becomes ICN-BKK nonstop. TG will keep ICN-TPE-BKK, soon to be the only 5th freedom out of ICN. TG has operated ICN-HKG for a very long time, for 20+ years I think. Sad to see this route go.

been many times on this flight |
Same for the return - all direct flights or via TPE.
Would have preferred this when living in Seoul for the past 4 years! |

Would have preferred this when living in Seoul for the past 4 years! I always took one of the two direct red eyes, which leave within 30 minutes to each other… and one is with flat seats now... |

you mean a direct morning flight to ICN instead the one through HKG which brought you into ICN in the evening?
I always took one of the two direct red eyes, which leave within 30 minutes to each other… and one is with flat seats now... ICN-BKK we always preferred the 09:30 direct flight flight, which for the Korea market was always more expensive than the 10:50 flight via HKG. The later flights were never suitable. BKK-ICN we always preferred one of the 2 red-eyes (usually in Y) rather than any of the indirect flights. The updated schedules are plucked from ExpertFlyer are: ICN-BKK TG659 0935-1330 TG657 1050-1445 (Su, M, T, W, Th F) TG689 1120-1515 (M, T, Th, Sa) TG635 1730-2305 via TPE TG655 2125-0120 BKK-ICN TG634 0725-1615 via TPE TG654 1240-2005 TG688 2240-0605 TG658 2310-0635 TG656 2330-0655 |

This the the maximim case of 5 flights in a day, 4 direct and 1 indirect via TPE. Some days have fewer flights. I did not bother with listing the departure days ex-BKK. |

TG started nonstop HKG-ICN in 1983. Must be a hard choice for TG to suspend a 35 year-old route. |
Mourning loss of one *A flight on this route...but if TG can better utilise aircraft... let it be

One wonders what TG have against their HK based customers. First we lose all first cabins, and now a good value way to get to ICN in business class. No doubt CX will be rubbing their hands and increasing prices. |

such outside the hub regional routes flown only once a day are just not common and reasonable anymore
TG's HKG TPE flight vanished long time ago and it is probably just a question of time until TPE ICN will vanish |

We also lose TG to HKT replaced by lousy WE. As well as one of the HKG-BKK flight.
