Thai Airways is the official airline of Thailand, and for a half century it’s been introducing people from all over the world to the wonders of this fascinating country. Thailand has a lot to offer all kinds of travelers, and if you’re planning a trip there, it makes sense to choose an experienced and highly rated airline such as Thai Airways.
There are some special benefits to consider that come with Thai Airways because they are a founding member of the Star Alliance. You can build up travel miles in frequent flyer programs by flying with any member airline. As an example, suppose your are in New York and want to fly to Bangkok on Thai Airways. Thai Airways only flies out of Los Angeles, but you can take an airline that is a member of the Star Alliance such as United from New York to LA. Although they are two different airlines, you would be able to accumulate frequent flyer miles on both. Round the World Fare is something offered by Star Alliance that will save you money off the regular fares and allows you to make up to 15 stopovers all over the world.

All in all, the airline offers flights to over 70 cities on five different continents, so it can take you just about anywhere you want to go in the world. In the U.S. however, Los Angeles is the only U.S. city that Thai Airways flies out of. Its pretty easy to get to Los Angeles from anywhere in the U.S.
Included in the service from Thai Airways are 7 cities in China, 14 in the Indian subcontinent and 13 cities in Europe. It also flies frequently between Thailand and Australia, so it’s a convenient bridge between those two countries.
