Hmmm...

My family and I are are travelling on Thai from both Brisbane (TG474: 773) and Sydney (TG476: A346) on Sunday 18 December.

I've jumped onto the Thai website and can see that the flights are still running, with the same aircraft (shame because I quite like the TG 747's compared to the A340's!)
