Qatar Airways to Launch Airbus A380 Flights to Bangkok, Thailand

Qatar Airways’ Airbus A380 aircraft will soon touchdown in Bangkok, Thailand.

Beginning 5 January 2015, passengers travelling to and from Bangkok on Qatar Airways QR836/QR833 will be able to enjoy the comfortable travel experience of Qatar Airways’ new Airbus A380.

“Bangkok is one of the most popular destinations for travellers around the world, and we recongise the importance of offering convenience coupled with our five-star service to passengers flying to Bangkok from Doha’s Hamad International Airport,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr. Akbar Al Baker. “Thanks to its popularity we have witnessed a steady growth in terms of the number of passengers flying to Bangkok over the years. Additionally, the number of Thai passengers who travel with us to destinations around the world has also increased significantly. Therefore, we are very much looking forward to kicking off the new year by introducing our new A380 aircraft to Bangkok and providing these passengers with our signature service.”

Wider seats, low noise levels, draught free air circulation and accurate temperature control are among the many advancements on the A380 that reduce the feeling of fatigue normally experienced by passengers after a long flight.

The First Class cabin features eight suites on the upper deck in a 1-2-1 configuration. Each seat features a 90” pitch with a fully lie-flat bed, 26” HD inflight entertainment screen and direct aisle access.

The Qatar Airways A380 Business Class cabin features 48 seats on the upper deck in a 1-2-1 configuration, with an 80” full flat bed, 17” HD inflight entertainment screen and direct aisle access.

There are two Economy Class cabins on the Qatar Airways A380, with 56 seats on the upper deck in a 2-4-2 configuration, and 405 seats on the main deck in a 3-4-3 configuration. Each Economy Class seat is 18.5” wide with a 32” pitch and features a 10.6” inflight entertainment screen.

The upper deck also features a spacious inflight lounge offering Premium passengers an escape from the typical airplane environment, which is unique to the A380.

Another key feature of Qatar Airways’ A380 service is its inflight Wi-Fi connectivity for all passengers – allowing them to send emails for work, surf the web, or stay up-to-date with their social network.
