Many people have come to Thailand from all over the world, by flying on the official airline of the country, Thai Airways, to enjoy this fascinating country and its wonders. When you are planning a trip somewhere, it makes perfect sense to choose a highly rated airline, so that means you should fly Thai Airways when you are traveling to Thailand.
As a founding member of the Star Alliance, Thai Airways has some special benefits that are worth noting. Your travel miles will accumulate faster in the frequent flyer programs when you fly with any member airline. For instance, you are in New York, but you want to fly on Thai Airways to Bangkok. 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. Even though you used two different airlines, you would be able to collect frequent flyer miles for both. You can also save a nice bit of money off the regular fares if you use Star Alliances Round the World Fares offered which allows you to make up to 15 stopovers all over the world.
Based in Bangkok, Thailand, Thai Airways offers flights to a wide variety of international destinations which makes it a big global airline. You can go just about anywhere you want in the world with Thai Airways as they offer flights to over 70 cities on five different continents. If you want to fly out of the U.S on Thai Airways, you will have to catch that flight in Los Angeles as that is the only city in the U.S that is served by Thai Airways. If you live elsewhere in the U.S. its not difficult to get to Los Angeles.
Fourteen cities in the Indian subcontinent, 13 European cities and 7 cities in China are served by Thai Airways. It creates a convenient bridge between Thailand and Australia because it has frequent flights between those two countries.
To celebrate its 40th year of offering flights between Thailand and Australia, Thai Airways is offering special fares in 2011. If you are planning a trip to Thailand, think about adding on to it by seeing Australia too. You can fly from Bangkok to destinations such as Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. However you decide to travel, whether First Class, Business or Economy,the discounted fares apply to all and you can get a great deal on travel between these two fantastic countries. Combining Thailand and Australia in one trip would be a wonderful way to explore the contrasts between the two countries. While they aren’t exactly close together, if you’re coming from a distant location such as the U.S. it might make sense to see them both on the same trip.
Making you feel at home during your entire journey, regardless if you are relaxing in one of their award winning lounges or on board during one of their flights is a priority of Thai Airways. the airline is dedicated to providing a comfortable experience for you.
