Why Fly Thai?

Thai Airways have been through the ringer over the past few years. Covid and a complete financial restructure has taken it's toll. But now with borders reopen Thai is back - albeit as a much leaner version of its former self.

So what's it like and is Thai Airlines still an airline you'd want to fly? Watch this video to find out the answer to the question: Why Fly Thai?

This Thai Airways business class flight review takes me from Melbourne, Australia to Bangkok Thailand - a flight of just over 8 and a half hours. Plenty of time to really experience the new Thai Airways business class.

My business class review of Thai includes the Air Zealand Lounge in Melbourne, boarding, the inflight service and meals as well as a complete review of the Thai Airways business class seat.

This was my first Thai Airways flight since my very special Royal First Class flight on the Queen of the Skies the 747 back before covid. That was an incredible experience and a review worth seeing. Here's the link to that flight:

Yes it was sad to see Thai drop the 747 flying into Sydney, but I guess that's progress.. Great video Dennis. It's a really good product and currently offering decent prices between Australia and Europe

Got back from Thailand few weeks ago and I’ve been on Thai airlines, b777-300ER to London Heathrow, the staff were excellent and as I’m profoundly deaf and it’s was challenging to communicate with them with the mask on. They did make my life lot easier when they write on paper what food I need and drinks or giving me a thumbs up if I’m okay though 12hr flight! I would go on Thai airlines again fantastic experience and excellent food on economy seat! But I did wish sit on first class like you sitting there!

Underrated airline .I travelled with Thai to Europe in 2018 and their' economy is one of the best !

The best days are when Dennis Paul and jeb post a video 😊

Thai are my favourite carrier. Yes they may not be the most polished crew like SQ or most spectacular hard product but their service comes from the heart or Jai Dee as what us Thais say. Cheers Dennis for the review, always puts a smile on my face when I see your videos pop up

Last June flew to London via Bangkok with Thai Airlines and had a great trip with excellent hospitality. Returned with Thai in September and holidayed in Bangkok for 10 days. At that stage Thailand was opening up fully and it was great to see Thai Airlines operational. Flew economy. Flying very soon with Smile, a Thai Airlines off shoot soon from Cambodia back to Bangkok, counting down my days. Thank you for your report.

Last time I flew was also in the QOTS from HKT-BKK years ago. Only wish we could go back in time. Love your look of absolute bliss when you use the hand towel knowing you have a fabulous flight ahead of you! 🎉❤

Flew Thai recently & they were excellent. Crew were outstanding. Great video Dennis

Another great review Dennis as always. We are looking to go to Bangkok in August from Peoples Republic of WA. Thai advises they are flying out of Perth but everyday their site says nothing available. Weird.

Been to Oman on a cruise ship. What a great place. But I will always remember it as the place, watching my hubby who use to be a nurse, doing CPR on a fellow passenger. Gentleman lived and for years we got a Christmas card from him and his wife. They would have well and truly passed but they were so adorable.

Flew CPH-BKK in Royal Silk with them in January and I was pleasently surprised with everything :-) I was a bit nervous due to various reviews, but I did not experience said issues.. Albeit the seat was visbily worn, and the screen old. However all worked fine :-)

So I am glad you also seemed to have a good experience!

[olivierfernandez]

Like you Dennis I am missing the B747 on Thai Airways as well as the A380 on Thai Airways. The food in Royal Silk Class or Royal First Class is usually very tasty and Thai selection are the best indeed. The Service is genuine and done with a touch. I am glad that you have enjoyed your experience on board TG 466.

Next week I fly Thai business from London 😊

[Calebs_Aviation]

Great video Dennis! Love seeing a Thai Airways review finally the A350!! Love seeing their brilliant looking menu and Business Class, Also those 747-400s just sitting on the tarmac at Bangkok Airport(BKK) is so sad! I can’t wait to see them fly again soon!! 😊

I flew Thai in December 1982 MEL to BKK then on to Rome. It was a 747-200. The connection was tight and we nearly missed the onward leg. Eventually on to London and the return to Australia via Rome and BKK. Still have the Gold Orchid you could purchase from the duty free cart. Full flights, tired crew, different languages on board. Someone needed oxygen, drama with oxygen bottle. Overall we were glad to get back on Jan 1983. What an experience. I have not been back to my birth place of UK since.Cheers from me.

Awesome to see you flying again, another great review, @2:53 unusual luck on your part

[michaelcollins]

We flew with Singapore from Amsterdam to Phuket in Jan and then back in Feb, we pre booked our meal and made use of the book the cook option. This way you get the food you want. Although we are from the UK the price difference from Amsterdam is massive. About £4000 less for my wife and I. Also Singapore gave us free internet.

Awesome stuff Dennis, an airline that I've long wanted to try. Fantastic overview as ever!

[spooner]

We watched your flight video with interest . We are flying Thai in 3 weeks to Europe in two legs from Melbourne in Business Class.
We booked it 6 months ago and hope ours goes as well as yours did.
Thanks for the Information in your Videos.
