Despite being an LCC, Eurowings aircraft will provide all passengers within-flight entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Eurowings is advertising one-way fares from EUR200 (US$217) for the Bangkok route and from EUR220 for the Phuket service, and said the inaugural Phuket flight on Friday was fully booked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of today, we\u2019re continuing to round out the Eurowings long-haul programme with a total of two new destinations in Asia,\u201d said Oliver Wagner, a member of Eurowings management. \u201cWe\u2019re already able to offer a highly attractive range at very competitive prices and we\u2019ll be expanding this significantly again in the coming months. This means that Eurowings is well-positioned not just for European travel but also for long-haul destinations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bangkok flights will depart Cologne-Bonn Airport every Wednesday and Sunday, with the return flights then departing Bangkok\u2019s Suvarnabhumi Airport every Thursday and Monday. On the Phuket route, the outbound flights will depart Cologne-Bonn every Monday and Friday and the return flights leave Phuket every Tuesday and Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of flights to Thailand marks the latest stage of Eurowings\u2019 long-haul expansion. The airline has already started flying to destinations in Cuba and the Dominican Republic, and its inaugural flights to Dubai also launched late last week.<\/p>\n<p>These new routes become the first low-cost flights between Europe and Southeast Asia since AirAsia X suspended its flights from Kuala Lumpur to London and Paris in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eurowings, Germany\u2019s low-cost leisure carrier, has launched its first flights to Thailand.
