Rumour circulating Manchester Airport for the last week is at long last Thai will commence a direct service to Bangkok 4 x weekly using A359 metal. Expect an announcement shortly for a starting date

There is a God !

Yes I booked directly with their website too. There wasn't time to visit the lounges in KUL last time when I travelled. Tight connection outward, and late arrival on return. I once had time but had

Increasing competition for MAN - BKK traffic....

 

Could be some very competitive fares available with the amount of competition..

Their Dreamliners which will operate the route are not configured in sardine fashion as per charters of the past. Spacious

I have tried a dummy booking but it seems like their system for MAN-UTP is not open for bookings just yet.

I tried too, but not open as you said. I also tried a dummy booking for MAN-HKT I think the price was £600 but that was a basic price then you had to add luggage etc. From what I understood from there booking page the basic seat does not come with a video screen. The only good thing about the flight was the departure times.

I might have some concern about the fellow passengers too. If the flight is full of those on package tours, and it is mainly charter bookings, you can bet the house they will have given the airport bar some custom before boarding!

I was thinking the same thing, full of loud mouthed idiots and screaming kids.

My understanding is these TUI far east flights are for connecting passengers with their Cruise division.

Well there are plans for cruises to come to Sattahip in the future but not yet, I don't think that many come in at Laem Chabang. So I would wonder why U-Tapao.

Cost maybe. Cheaper to land at U-Tapao.

Also I noticed the same airline is also starting flights to langkawi. So possibly an expansion to South East Asia

Hi Waco , I have booked 23rd Nov with Jet air ,

Off the top my head it was 349£, short connections each way - but once paid choice of seats will bump it to emirates /etihad prices so I will just get allocated on arrival

Flown once before with jet , although that was to Goa from Abu Dhabi ...

Still no official announcement from Thai.

Can't see it being forthcoming

Apparently a delegation from Thai Airways visited MAN in June and left with a very positive view of the airport, so it's looking more likely this will happen....

And tenders have been sent to baggage handlers / cargo agents / cleaners etc - So hopefully expect news of a commencement for a direct service starting 2019.
