About Thai Airways

Thai Airways International is Southeast Asia’s leading airline, operating out of Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, a world class aviation hub of Asia. Its founding partnership with SAS in 1959 was one of the earliest airline alliances ever signed. Passenger volumes have increased tremendously since the company’s first flight on May 1, 1960. More than 18 million passengers have experienced its Royal Orchid Service across 73 destinations in 35 countries (figures excluding Bangkok and Thailand), including service to Europe, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent, Australasia, the United States and Africa.[1]

On May 14, 1997, Thai Airways International Public Company Limited and four other world leading airlines, namely Lufthansa German Airlines, United Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines System, and Air Canada, officially announced the formation of "Star Alliance", an intergrated worldwide air transport network. On October 26, 1997, Varig Brazillian Airlines joined the Star Alliance network as its newest member. Partnership between the six carriers was significant of forming the strongest airline alliance in the history of commercial aviation with the most extensive network covering major destinations over six continents.[2]

Frequent flyer program

There are 3 tiers of Royal Orchid Plus membership, and the more you fly the more benefits and recognition you’ll enjoy with THAI and across the Star Alliance network. Qualifying Miles determine your Royal Orchid Plus membership status, and these are miles flown with THAI and Star Alliance airlines. Like miles earned in the air, Qualifying Miles are subject to your paid fare and class of service flown. Promotional and Bonus Miles, and miles earned with Travel Partners are excluded from membership status evaluations. All member accounts are evaluated monthly, which means that as soon as sufficient Qualifying Miles are accumulated, you enjoy the benefits of Silver or Gold status immediately, and for a full 2 year period. There are 3 evaluation methods, based on a calendar year and from the month you enroll or attain and retain each successive membership level. For example, if you enrolled as a Royal Orchid Plus member in the month of March 2009, you would need to meet this Qualifying Mile criteria to attain Silver or Gold status. Upgrade Awards are in conjunction with international paid tickets, and the paid fare with stipulated booking class codes determines the miles required. When paying a discounted Economy Class fare you can choose between upgrading to Premium Economy Class or Royal Silk Class, with applicable miles.[3]
