Very good news indeed.

Now you can travel in style on Star alliance and sleep on the way to Narita.

Also you arrive at terminal one which is empty at that time of the morning and immigration is a breeze compared to the lines at terminal 2

ALso the NRT BKK flight will be the earliest flight from Tokyo to Bangkok arriving at 1:30pm at Bangkok very convenient for connections.

I wish them luck they have a much better product than any other carrier on this route and I surely will be using them instead than ANA or TG

Why are so many airlines offering flights to Tokyo leaving and arriving at almost the same time??

BKK - NRT is too short a flight to sleep through the night and I don't want to arrive at Narita in time for connection to the morning rush hour train in the city with suitcases when I barely slept in the flight.

It is so short that it is the reason why I want to have a decent flight and SQ will give me the choice to sleep 5 full hours in first.

You always have the TG option leaving BKK in the morning getting you in NRT in time for the evening rush hour having lost a whole day flying and forking out 2 hotel nights

Happy travelling
