Thai Airways Launches Weekly Flights Between London and Bangkok

Thai Airways International has launched what it calls a “Thailand Homecoming” campaign, with special scheduled flights between London Heathrow and Bangkok, Thailand.

Thai Airways partnered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Royal Thai Embassy in London to operate flight TG917 every Sunday from now until December 2020.

Flights are scheduled to depart from London at 21:35 and arrive in Bangkok at 16:00.

Flights are being sold as one-way tickets, and passengers can use existing tickets as well as ROP award tickets on the special flights, though terms and conditions do apply.

The aircraft will also feature Thai Economy Plus seats in the first four rows of Economy Class. These seats cost more, but guarantee that passengers are seated in every other seat, giving them more comfort and privacy. Additional benefits include priority check-in, an extra five kilograms of baggage allowance and a better meal selection.

The flights are mainly for Thais in the United Kingdom and neighboring countries who wish to return to Thailand, foreign businessmen, and foreigners holding work permits.

Reservations can be made through Thai Airways website. More information is available through the Thai Airways Ticket Office in London and the Thai Airways Contact Center in Bangkok (+662-356-1111) from 08:00-20:00 Thailand time (long distance rates may apply).

Passengers are also required to register with the Royal Thai Embassy in London prior to travelling.

Everyone flying into Thailand must do a mandatory 14-night quarantine.
