Austrian Airlines flying to Phuket

I see Austrian Airlines have started a direct flight to Phuket . I Virgin would look at something simular.Having to change at Bkk is a real pain and I believe Austrian will clean up on this route. They are expecting to carry up to 40,000 passangers in the first year - not bad really is it ,

Well to be honest from LHR-BKK I would take EVA,their delux class on the 777's is kind of nice,even on the older 744's it's not that bad.Then I would just grab an internal flight over.
