LAX-LHR
On EK18 this week and judging by the bar customers there were quite a few who have been using EK for holiday routes to Thailand, perhaps the route into Phuket helps as well. This is not just an observation on one flight as there are regular holiday users on these flights heading too and from Thailand. Do not think TG could fill a 380 but a via service with smaller metal say 3 times per week may work for them.
Kind regards
