From the Thaiger

Air Canada will launch direct flights to Thailand next month. A Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner will service the route, flying between Bangkok and Vancouver four days per week. It will be the first direct service linking North America and Thailand in 10 years.

Canada’s flag carrier will fly between Vancouver International Airport and Suvarnabhumi International Airport on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The flight route is seasonal and will run between December 4, 2022, and April 14, 2023. The aircraft features three cabins – Signature Class, Premium Economy, and Economy Class.The westbound flight leaves Vancouver at 11pm and arrives in Bangkok at 5.55am. The eastbound flight will leave Bangkok and 8.30am and arrive in Vancouver at 6.35am, technically going back in time. Both flights are designed to arrive early in the morning to give passengers the maximum choice of same-day connecting flights.

The service will provide a new option for American passengers. Before they would have to transit through Hong Kong, Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo, or, in the other direction, the middle eastern hubs.

I am flying from Vancouver to bkk next week, too early for the new non-stop. But in February Dear Husband and I will return on the non-stop with some friends who live in Vancouver,  a little gay party in Premium Economy.  🥳

Well, this is encouraging. As in it might encourage me to go to LOS again. I hope someone will post with a first hand review of the flight.
