Why You May Well Want To Travel With Thailand Airways

By Barclay Carlos Xavier


Not everyone has heard of Thai Airways, but it's been quietly building up its reputation in the airline industry over the last 50 years. With many convenient and comfortable flights to offer, Thai Airways serves destinations in Asia as well as Thailand, areas that are becoming more popular with business travelers as well as vacationers.

There are some special benefits to consider that come with Thai Airways because they are a founding member of the Star Alliance. By flying with any member airline, it is easier to build up travel miles in the frequent flyer program. Say for example you want to take a trip to Bangkok on Thai Airways, but your starting point is 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. Although they are two different airlines, you would be able to accumulate frequent flyer miles on both. Round the World Fare is something offered by Star Alliance that will save you money off the regular fares and allows you to make up to 15 stopovers all over the world.

Royal Orchid Plus has an entry level membership when you join, but there are the Silver, Gold and Platinum levels of membership as well. You need to fly very frequently to obtain an invitation to join the Platinum membership level. If you do achieve it, however, you're able to enjoy many rewards, such as unlimited complimentary upgrades, priority services at the airport, additional luggage allowance and access to Royal First Class lounges. The other levels of Royal Orchid Plus membership still offer many advantages even if you don't become a Platinum member.

The Suvarnabhumi Airport is home to the most luxurious Thai Airways Royal Orchid Lounges and is a must to experience if you travel to Thailand. Many awards have been given to these lounges due to their features and comfort. One example of these awards is the Best Airline Lounge-First Class and the Skytrax Best Airport Services that it received in 2010. You can get some work done while waiting for your flight with the well equipped business centers in these lounges. They also have dining rooms where you can get a drink or a snack and slumber rooms if you feel the need for a nap. First Class passengers can enjoy the Royal Orchid Spa, where you can relax with a Thai massage as well as a foot massage.

Thai Airways works hard to create a good travel experience for the increasing number of business travelers to Thailand and other destinations in Asia. With Royal Silk Class, the business class of Thai Airways, you'll have the opportunity to experience its benefits even before getting on the plane. You can access the special lounges or enjoy an foot or shoulder massage while you wait for your flight. Thailand is a destination many people would love to fly into, and for those people, their airline of choice should be Thai Airways. This airline can take you to many cities in other Asian countries, as well as New Zealand and Australia, so you have many choices. Have a look at the website of Thai Airways, if it sounds appealing to you, and if you need a flight to one of their destinations.

If you are going on a vacation, it is possible to usually find some good deals on rental cars. Something you'll need to keep in mind is how much insurance coverage to obtain. Talk with your car insurance provider to find out more.
