Thai Airways Offers Free Domestic Flights!
File this under silver linings on the dark cloud that is the global economy — Thai Airways is offering a great travel deal for passengers coming from North America, Europe, Australia or New Zealand.
Buy your international ticket on Thai Airways for travel between March 1 and October 31, 2009 and get a free domestic flight plus one night hotel. So, if you’re flying into Bangkok but want to go to Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, or anywhere else Thai flies, the flight’s free, and so is the first night at one of their selected hotels. Click the link on the photo to see the conditions, and make sure to either book with a travel agent or call Thai Airways directly to make sure you’re following all the rules to get the deal.
As always, do the math before booking. Domestic flights are generally inexpensive, especially if you’re flying on Air Asia, Nok Air or one of the other budget airlines. If you get a cheap international flight on another carrier, it may be a better deal to book that and just buy the ticket and hotel separately.
Sadly, international is out of reach for all of us. However, it’s good to know that if I need to pack up those girls some time I can send them over at something of a discount
