Emirates to launch fourth Bangkok-Dubai daily flights

The new two-class A380 service will operate daily as Flight EK376 from Dubai to Bangkok and EK377 from Bangkok to Dubai. The up-gauge from its current Boeing 777-300ER aircraft will see an increase in capacity of 255 seats per flight and 3,570 seats per week to and from the Thai capital city.
Barry Brown, Emirates divisional senior vice president, commercial operations east, said: “Thailand is an important market for Emirates, and the A380 has been extremely popular with travellers since we first started the double-decker aircraft service to Thailand in 2009. The addition of this two-class A380 passenger service will give even more travellers the chance to experience this revolutionary aircraft first hand.
“For business and leisure travellers, the Dubai-Bangkok route is a popular choice, and this additional A380 service will be instrumental in helping us meet growing passenger demand, as well as deliver substantial economic benefits through travel connections and inbound seats.” Emirates’ two-class A380 is capable of carrying 615 passengers across its business and economy cabins – accommodating 58 lie-flat seats in business class and 557 seats in economy class.
EK376 will depart Dubai at 3.30am and arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport at 12.35pm the same day. This flight connects seamlessly with European and African destinations, and is especially popular with travellers from Britain and Scandinavia heading to Thailand.
The return flight, EK377, a popular flight for residents of countries in the Persian Gulf region, will depart Bangkok at 4pm, offering a convenient departure time that suits hotel check-out times, and arrives in Dubai the same day at 7.55pm, a flying time of 6 hours and 55 minutes.
