F cabin back to OZ!
Sorry if this has been discussed before, a search brought up nothing.
I just received a news-letter from a German TA stating that F finally will be back at least on BKK-SYD by Oct. 25. Did a dummy-booking and found that TG 451/452 and 457/458 are indeed scheduled with F served by 346 equipment. How does this sound?

No, BMI, formerly British Midland. They only charge mileage based on the longest sector - so SYD-BKK (in F) then BKK-ZRH-TLV (in C) counts as C all the way - and is only 75K points + cash + tax round trip.

Same thing costs the THAI FF's 205,000, and they have an earn rate of 125%when flying C, and TG send a survey asking questions about our income? If TG had half a brain working at anytime in their offices, they could have fixed their problems by simply returning to the Gold FF's, the benefits they took away and we would all on a level playing field. It will dawn on them one day that the FFP's are a huge money making system, just ask Qantas, kept them afloat last year, regards bkkrop

I didnt know that. One can only hope that being eaten-up by LH will take some more years.

. Not that I care much because I was foresighted enough to secure DC *G by doing just about this 
.However, I started this thread not about the -potential- advantages of the DC programm.

57,000 for BD*G assumes a standing start. If you are already silver, it takes 38,000. The exact qualification thresholds are:
3000 Blue+
16000 Silver
38000 Gold
You may or may not get to skip Blue+ if your first flight would have taken you straight to Silver.
3000 Blue+
16000 Silver
38000 Gold
You may or may not get to skip Blue+ if your first flight would have taken you straight to Silver.

I have a question more pertinent to this thread. If TG is adding several routes with F, where are the planes taken from? Does it mean that Europe (e.g. ZRH) will not see F any more?
