Thai Airways Introduces Premium Economy Plus Class from Bangkok – Flat-Bed Comfort at an Affordable Price
Bangkok, Thailand – October 26, 2025:
Thai Airways is redefining mid-tier travel comfort with the launch of its Premium Economy Plus Class, debuting on select regional routes from Bangkok (BKK) to Kathmandu, Dhaka, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Jakarta.
This new cabin experience blends the comfort of Business Class with the affordability of Premium Economy, offering lie-flat seats, priority boarding, and enhanced in-flight dining — all without paying full business-class prices.
What Makes Thai Airways Premium Economy Plus Special
Passengers can expect a premium yet accessible experience featuring:
-
Lie-flat seats with ample personal space and extra legroom.
-
Upgraded meal service inspired by Thai culinary excellence.
-
Priority boarding and baggage handling.
-
Exclusive cabin zone with fewer seats for added privacy.
-
Earn Royal Orchid Plus miles equivalent to higher fare classes.
Thai Airways managed this upgrade without retrofitting existing planes, instead purchasing three Airbus A330-300 aircraft from Virgin Atlantic, which already feature a Premium section with lie-flat seating.
Initial Routes for Premium Economy Plus
Starting October 26, 2025, the Premium Economy Plus Class will operate on select regional routes from Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi Airport):
-
Bangkok – Kathmandu (BKK-KTM)
-
Bangkok – Dhaka (BKK-DAC)
-
Bangkok – Chennai (BKK-MAA)
-
Bangkok – Hyderabad (BKK-HYD)
-
Bangkok – Jakarta (BKK-CGK)
These routes are strategically chosen to test demand in South and Southeast Asia, where travelers seek more comfort on short- to medium-haul flights.
Why This Launch Matters for Travelers
The introduction of Premium Economy Plus bridges the gap between Thai Airways’ traditional Economy and Royal Silk Business Class, offering a superior comfort experience at great value.
It’s an ideal upgrade for:
-
Business travelers seeking productivity and rest.
-
Leisure travelers wanting luxury without high fares.
-
Frequent flyers earning extra miles on short regional hops.
