Thai Airways

Pros: Reasonable fares.
Cons: Hated the food.

Every time I've flown to Japan, I've chosen a different airline. The first time I went with JAL, which was great, but a little more expensive than I wanted to pay. When I've got more cash, this is my first choice.

The second time I flew...

Pros: Direct flights from Perth, (generally) good food, attentive, courteous staff. Free alcohol.
Cons: Standard seems to have slipped slightly.

NB : When I did a review on Thai Airways back in 2001, I gave the airline a glowing report. Howe ...

Pros: Between the US and Thailand, new airbus long range jets. Outstanding service.
Cons: Inconsistent.

This review is written based on one round-trip itinerary between NYC (JFK) and Phuket (HKT) via Bangkok (BKK) and return from Krabi (KBV) to JFK via BKK during August of 05. This review is written for American travelers on the East Coast who are ...

Pros: Friendly service, above-average food, Star Alliance member, good prices.
Cons: Antiquated fleet, poor on-time record, lousy entertainment.

Let me say first that compared to the other dodgey players in SE Asia, Thai is not that bad. I much prefer Bangkok Airways which I am unable to review on this site (however, you can see my review on Angkor Wat for a blip on this great regional carrier)....

Pros: Comfortable, Good meal, Distinguished service from all crews.
Cons: The last crash of THAI was not long ago.

This review provides you in deep information about on board atmosphere and meal service of Royal Executive Class on intercontinental route, which is the business class of Thai Airways. At the begin, an overlook of check-in and lounge service at each ...

Pros: Gracious Thai service with a smile. Food and Drink served with style.
Cons: Business Class Seats Desperately need a remodel.

I want to briefly share my experience on Thai Airways' business class service to those who are considering not flying Thai due to their declining reputation in the recent years past. I do not have the luxury of time to write an extensive expose about my...

Pros: Attentive Staff
Cons: Highly Inconsistent

I just read a very thorough and very considerate review of this flight by another reviewer. I must say that I am sure in Business Class he was quite accurate but would wonder how his 6ft 200lb body would have done in Economy Plus which he recommends ...

Pros: Wonderful, attentive service; good food; STAR Alliance
Cons: Dated seats, cabins, and IFE

THAI Airways is one of Asia's most famous airlines, renowned for its famous hospitality and good food. Unfortunately, the airline has not upgraded its fleet sufficiently in recent years, and when it has bought new planes (e.g. 747-400) it has not opted...

Pros: Great food, efficient service and competitive fares
Cons: Old planes, too much waste of food and towels, bad takeoffs and landings, no PTVs

I recently flew Thai Airways in the sectors SIN-BKK-ARN and CPH-BKK-SIN in economy class (Open jaw Singapore, Changi - Stockholm Arlanda, Copenhagen Kastrup - Singapore, Changi, via Bangkok, Don Muang). Seeing they offered the cheapest fare on this route ...

Pros: excellent Asian network, friendly, new jets
Cons: Check-in, delays, crowded seating

I have recently had an oportunity to try out 3 regional flights on the flag carrier for the kingdom of Thailand. Thai Air is overall a good choice for regional needs but for the long haul I would prefer Singapore or Cathay. Here are my general...

Pros: Friendly staff, Excellent food (coach), Member of the Star Alliance.
Cons: No PTV's in coach, Seats are a little uncomfortable in their 747 aircraft.

My review of Thai airways is based on my, to the date the review was written, 4 flights with them.

Why choosing Thai airways for my trip?
After being to the states some times in my life, I had already decided to head east this...

Pros: friendly, warm and hospitable crew, good food, great network, great prices
Cons: reduced mileage credit with some airlines

Many people are used to flying Thai when on a budget. Simply put, Thai is by far one of the cheapest airlines in Asia, and they fly almost everywhere within the region and beyond. That makes them an ideal airline for budget travellers.

Since...

Pros: The food and the service.
Cons: The tickets aren't free.

I have flown more than a million miles in my lifetime. I have flown on just about every kind of aircraft you could imagine, from rickety crates a crop duster wouldn't want to first class luxury in 747's. Half the airlines I have flown on don't exist any...

Pros: Great Inflight-Services, Excellent Foods, Best Wines
Cons: No PTV

I just completed my flight from Hong Kong to Bangkok on flight TG 633, the aircraft was 777-300.

My flight was ontime deaprted at 1850, flight was so empty. After the plane took off and climbed up until 37000 flt in the South China Sea air...

Pros: Absolutely everything
Cons: Raised my expectations!

I just completed a flight from Auckland - Sydney - Bangkok with Thai Airways, and I couldn't be happier with my experience.

I watched my plane land from the observation lounge. It was a perfect landing, an experience that was repeated with all...
