In the good old days.. When Thailand tourism was in full swing Emirates had 3 A380's landing at Swampy every day.. 1 would turn around and go back to Dubai, 1 would carry on to Sydney, & the other would head off to Hong Kong.                                                 A mate of mine who is a bit of an 'aircraft guru' told me once that Emirates have more A380's than all the other airlines put together.. AND that the 380 is a thirsty old girl, and the airlines really do need to fly them pretty damn full of passengers... Wonder how full they will be in Dec when they come in..?  (My Dec flight is A380 to Dubai, then triple 7 to Bangers)

"On November 1, Thailand re-opened with minimal quarantine for vaccinated travellers from 63 approved countries."

Did you finally feel some guilt parroting the government lie of "no quarantine"? A good "journalistic organization" with integrity would have called it what it is from the beginning. Better late than never I guess, but still more loss of credibility.

The only reason they are going to fly to BKK again is to bring them back into service slowly as they've been out of service for ages. It's got nothing to do with capacity, as @Griff1315 can't even fill his Cessna to capacity yet
