Bangkok--8 Oct--TQPR
Starting from 25 October 2015, Lufthansa changes its flight timetable for the Bangkok - Frankfurt service to night departures which will be newly serviced by a Boeing 747-400.
With the new winter schedule the flight will depart from Bangkok at 23:50 and will arrive in Frankfurt the following day at 0545. Passengers on this route profit from the more attractive schedule as they will be able to use another whole day before departing Bangkok and also after arriving in Frankfurt.
Mr. Dirk Grossmann, General Manager of Passenger Sales for Thailand & the Mekong Region said, "Thailand is one of our key markets in Southeast Asia and we are always looking for opportunities to improve and provide more options for our passengers as an airline group. For example, in the new timetable, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines operate night departures and Swiss International Air Lines offers day flights out of Bangkok. Overall, Lufthansa Group offers a variety of both day and night flights every 12 hours to their European gateways. And this combination fits perfectly for every customer needs."
Mr. Grossmann continued, "Other than the change of schedule, we are also now servicing this route with an upgrade of fleet to a Boeing 747-400 featuring the new Business and Premium Economy class. From an Airbus A340-300 to a Boeing 747-400, we are able to carry 30% more passengers."
On the Bangkok-Frankfurt fleet, Lufthansa is offering the new three-class product: Business, Premium Economy and Economy. Each of the new Business class seat can be fold flat to create a bed 1.98 meters long for the highest possible comfort. Besides the new, enlarged 15-inch monitors provide an individual entertainment program for Business Class travelers.
Furthermore, the latest addition to the family, Premium Economy cabin comes with seats that have about 50% more space than Economy Class seats, allows passengers to check in two bags (each 23kg) and offers some special greetings on board like a welcome drink, an upmarket amenity kit, a water bottle and a power socket to use at the seat. For a fee of 25 euros, passengers with a Premium Economy ticket can access and relax in comfort in Lufthansa Business lounges prior to take-off.
