SAS is continuing to strengthen its offer and to accommodate an increased demand for leisure travel, SAS will now open a new route to Bangkok, Thailand. Following this route expansion travelers will be able to fly direct to Bangkok three times weekly with convenient overnight flights in both directions using the Airbus A350 aircraft. First departure is planned from Copenhagen on the 30th of October 2023. “Thailand and the Scandinavian countries have a long history of friendship and cooperation and returning with a direct route after nine years is a true pleasure. The Bangkok route will offer a perfect entry point for wider Thailand and be a great option for both business and leisure travelers. Bangkok is a vibrant meeting point for international businesses and the country has topped several rankings as the world's most popular tourist destination with its beautiful beaches, lush jungles and extraordinary Thai cuisine. Regardless of reason to travel, we are excited to once again offer a direct connection between Scandinavia and the Land of Smiles,” says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS. While many people enjoy the natural beauty of the country and the many opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, and sunbathing, Thailand is also known for its rich culture and history. Numerous temples, palaces and other historical sites can be found throughout Bangkok and the rest of the country. As part of the Winter 2023/2024 program, SAS will also continue its three-times weekly services to Tokyo Haneda (HND) and Shanghai (PVG). Schedule: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays Flight no. Departure STD Arrival STA SK973 CPH 23:30 BKK 17:05 (+1) Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays Flight no. Departure STD Arrival STA SK974 BKK 23:45 CPH 06:35 (+1) Copenhagen-Bangkok will be a winter seasonal route. Note that the route opening is subject to governmental approval. SAS will operate the Bangkok route with Airbus A350 aircraft offering passengers a unique travel experience, this aircraft has a much lower fuel consumption and up to 30 percent lower CO2 emissions than previous comparable aircraft. The Airbus A350 has 300 seats and offers three travel classes – SAS Business, SAS Plus and SAS Go. https://www.sasgroup.net/newsroom/press-releases/2023/sas-opens-new-route-to-bangkok/
Gøy! Hyggelige avgangstider begge veier også, naturlig å få seg litt søvn på reisen uansett hvilken vei man reiser.
Jeg leser nettopp at SAS utvider til Asia og at det blir ny rute CPH-BKK i vinterprogrammet (forutsatt at dem får godkjenning fra myndighetene). Oppstart blir 30. oktober 2023. https://mb.cision.com/Main/290/3761104/2025273.pdf Veldig gledelig. Det viktigste spørsmålet nå: Når legger dem ut bonusbillettene . EDIT: Jeg ser nettopp at det allerede ble postet her. Da kan vel denne tråden slettes eller flettes: https://insideflyer.no/forums/threads/sas-med-cph-bkk-fra-30-oktober-2023.19318/
Veldig enig. Men siden du sier "potensielt": Er det realistisk at det ikke kommer bonusbilletter i det hele tatt?
Blir mer a321 til østkysten fremover regner jeg med da? Har pr i dag 4 a350 hvor 2 går til pvg og hnd og 2 til Usa
Ser ut til å være perfekt for en MR. Går fint an å jobbe (stort sett) hele dagen på fredag, komme seg ned til CPH, fly til BKK. Bruke de drøye 6 timene på bakken til å komme seg gjennom passkontroll osv, så henge litt i loungene på BKK og fly hjemover igjen, ankomst tidlig på søndag med god tid til å komme seg til Norge igjen godt innen lunsj (med en grei connecting flight) eller i alle fall middag. MR er tross alt gøyere på større fly.
Husk at de rimeligste bookingklassene krever minimum stay / at man overnatter lørdag-søndag på destinasjon. Med tre ukentlige rundturer vil korteste mulige "lavpris"-tur bli utreise fredag kveld og retur tirsdag/natt til onsdag.
Der har du et godt poeng. Kjipt at det fremdeles henger igjen på langrutene, det har (for det meste) vært borte innen Europa ganske lenge.
