As one of Asia’s leading airlines, Thai Airways which has been flying for fifty years continues to be a favored airline. Thai Airways provides the numerous travelers that travel for business or pleasure to Thailand and other Southeast Asia destinations with a high level of service and comfort.
As a founding member of the Star Alliance, Thai Airways has some special benefits that are worth noting. By flying with any member airline, it is easier to build up travel miles in the frequent flyer program. For example, lets say you want to fly to Bangkok on Thai Airways, but are starting out in New York. Los Angeles is the only city in the U.S. that Thai Airways flies out of, so in that situation, you could take an airline such as United that is also a member of Star Alliance from New York to LA. This way, you’d be accumulating frequent flyer miles on both flights, even though they were with two different airlines. Star Alliance also offers Round the World Fares, that allow you to make up to 15 stopovers all over the world and save quite a bit of money off the regular fares.
Thai Airways can help you save money and find a place to stay when you travel to a place like Thailand. You will find discounts on hotels in more than 50 destinations served by Thai Airways with their Royal Orchid Holiday program. This gives you quite a bit of leeway, as it means that you can visit many different countries and still If you want to learn specifically where these discount accommodations can be found, you should look on the Thai Airways website, or give them a call to find out if one of your favored destinations is included.
To celebrate its 40th year of offering flights between Thailand and Australia, Thai Airways is offering special fares in 2011. So if you’re taking a trip to Thailand, you may want to consider extending your trip and seeing Australia as well. You can fly from Bangkok to destinations such as Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. You will get a great deal on travel between these two fascinating countries no matter how you choose to travel because the discounted fares apply to Economy, Business and First Class. While Thailand and Australia are so very different from each other, it would be very interesting to combine the two into one trip. Going to both locations even if they aren’t that close together might be a wise choice if you are traveling from a distant location such as the U.S.
In its more than 50 years of operating, Thai Airways has learned a lot about what it takes to run a world class airline. Proof of this is offered in the awards it has won from objective airline rating organizations such as Skytrax. This airline can be used to reach other destinations as well as being the airline of choice for trips to Thailand.
