I didn't say it will be like that, I just suppose that Thai will be much more expensive again, as usual. But a lot of people like to pay for non stop flights.jancnx wrote:Now I fly with egyptair to Bangkok. This would be wonderful news if the price was acceptable as was posted before it ll be around 800 - 1200 euro. That's too much, I prefer paying +/- 550 and wait 2 hrs in Cairo then.
Recently Egyptair took a new plane in use to fly from CAI to BKK.
There is also a growing number of travellers from Thailand who dislike transfers in countries which often make it difficult for Thai citizens. For example: Thai people with Belgium as destination like more to fly directly by Eva or China Airlines to Amsterdam, or to DUS by LTU/Air Berlin, or by Thai to Paris, being picked up by relatives or friends, instead of flying by Etihad or Qatar.
I know about a Thai citizen with a Schengen visum isued by the Belgian embassy, who flew by Emirates. This citizen was not allowed in Dubai to board the airplane to Paris , because the end destination was Belgium, so was the guarrantor. We never hear these stories with EVA, China Airlines , LTU/Air Berlin or KLM.
I will also not fly TG if it is much more expensive than the current possebilities with Qatar ( no more Etihad for me because of the 10 abreast in the B777 ), Qantas or Swiss.
) They do Mauritius as well.
(Although it has to be said reference to EU and Nato is made as well...)
