Thai Airways has been quietly establishing their reputation in the airline industry over the last 50 years, but are still an unknown to some. More business travelers as well as vacationers are making Thailand and other nearby places their destinations of choice and Thai Airways offers many convenient and comfortable flights to those areas.

Because Thai Airways is one of the founding members of the Star Alliance, it has some special benefits that should be considered. Your travel miles will accumulate faster in the frequent flyer programs when you fly with any member airline. Say for example you want to take a trip to Bangkok on Thai Airways, but your starting point is New York. The only city in the U.S that Thai Airways flies out of is Los Angeles, so for example, you could take another Star Alliance member airline, such as United 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. 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.

Thai Airways will assist you in finding the best vacation package for your needs and interests so you can the very most out of your vacation. Thai Airways also offers the Royal Orchid Holidays Packages which has a variety of tours and activities in any part of the world where the airline flies. For example, if you were going to Thailand, you could do a cycling tour, book a river cruise or enjoy a stay at one of the country’s luxurious health spas. Thailand is famous for its spas, where you can experience facial treatments, Thai massage and other relaxing and therapeutic treatments. Each location that Thai Airways serves has something similar to offer. Simply look on their website and find out which Royal Orchid Holiday Package best suits you.

Special fares are being offered in 2011 to celebrate Thai Airways 40th year of offering flights between Thailand and Australia. 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. Combining Thailand and Australia in one trip would be a wonderful way to explore the contrasts between the two countries. Evan though the two countries aren’t that close together, if you are coming from a distance such as North America, it might make sense to see them both on the same trip. 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. Thai Airways is an award-winning airline, so it should be worth considering if it has flights to where you want to go, which you can find out by looking at its website.
