THAI 777 switch in Melbourne for Oct - Mar08/09

[Jim Liu]

Hi, it appears THAI has switched around the 777s operating into Melbourne.

TG981/982 on Day 5 (BKK departure) is showing to be operated by 777-300, while 777-200ER (777) operates the rest of the service

On TG999/980, from 26OCT08 to 30NOV08 (BKK departure) will see a 777-200 (772) operating in C30Y279 configuration instead of the usual C30Y262 (777)

On a side note, THAI to AKL is reduced to 4 weekly.

Funny you should say that,Yesterday TG 981/982 was operated by a 773 HS-TKE (new colours). Could have been a one off.

Do all the TG 777s operating to SYD and MEL feature the new cabins or a some flights operated with regional Asian cabins ie. old business and no ptvs in economy?

It's just a one-time thing planned for 15SEP08.
