Etihad’s hop and skip to Koh Samui
Etihad Airways is claiming the travel industry’s fastest service from Brisbane to Koh Samui in Thailand.
Etihad flight EY473 departs Brisbane three times per week on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 12:25pm, arriving in Singapore at 6:25pm.
It connects with codeshare flight EY7722 (operated by Bangkok Airways) departing Singapore at 8:10pm and arriving in Koh Samui at 9:00pm.
On the return, Etihad flight EY7721 (operated by Bangkok Airways) flies three times per week on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, departing Koh Samui at 4:30pm and arriving in Singapore at 7:20pm the same day.
This flight connects with Etihad’s Singapore to Brisbane service EY470 which departs Singapore at 11:15pm and arrives in Brisbane at 9:05am the next morning.
Cramer Ball, Etihad Airways’ regional general manager Asia Pacific South and Australasia, said: “The new route from Koh Samui to Brisbane shaves two hours off the journey, making our codeshare service the market’s fastest and most convenient.â€
