Thai Airways Flights – Book Tickets on Traveloka

About Thai Airways

Thai Airways International (IATA code: TG, ICAO code: THA) is Thailand's national carrier and one of the most recognisable airlines in Southeast Asia. Headquartered in Bangkok, Thai Airways operates its extensive network from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), connecting Singapore travellers to Bangkok and, from there, to dozens of onward destinations across Asia, Europe, and Australia. For travellers flying out of Singapore Changi Airport, Thai Airways is a natural gateway into Thailand and beyond, prized for its warm Thai hospitality, award-winning cabin service, and connectivity through one of Asia's busiest hub airports.

On Traveloka, Singapore travellers can search, compare, and book Thai Airways flights with transparent fares, flexible date options, and the convenience of managing an entire trip — flights, hotels, and activities — in a single app.

Airline Overview and History

The airline traces its roots to 29 March 1960, when it was established as a joint venture between the domestic carrier Thai Airways Company (TAC) and Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), which held a 30 percent stake in the new international operation. The partnership gave the fledgling Thai carrier immediate access to SAS's international expertise, and by the 1960s it had already expanded its network to key regional cities such as Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Calcutta.

In 1971, the Thai government bought out SAS's shareholding, making the airline fully state-owned. A further consolidation followed in 1977, when the airline merged with the domestic operations of Thai Airways Company, bringing international and domestic flying under one brand. The carrier then listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in 1988, broadening its ownership base while remaining majority government-controlled.

The 1990s and 2000s were a period of steady modernisation. The airline welcomed its first Boeing 747-400 in 1991, and in 1997 it became a founding member of the Star Alliance, the world's first global airline alliance — a membership that remains a core part of its network strategy today. The 2000s saw the introduction of long-range Airbus A340-500 and A340-600 aircraft, along with the launch of the Royal Orchid Spa lounge concept at Suvarnabhumi Airport, which opened as the airline's new home base in 2006.

The following decade brought two of the most significant aircraft introductions in the airline's history: the Airbus A350-900 in 2014 and the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in 2017, both of which remain central to its long-haul and regional widebody operations. Like many full-service carriers, Thai Airways faced severe financial pressure during the pandemic years and entered a court-supervised rehabilitation process with the Central Bankruptcy Court of Thailand in 2020. Over the following years the airline restructured its debt, streamlined its fleet, and rebuilt its balance sheet. That process concluded successfully in June 2025, when the Bankruptcy Court approved the airline's exit from rehabilitation, and the carrier returned to trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in August 2025 — a milestone that underscored its return to full commercial and financial health. Today, Thai Airways continues to operate as a founding Star Alliance member with an active fleet renewal programme underway, giving Singapore travellers continued confidence in booking with the airline for both short regional hops and long-haul journeys via Bangkok.

Fleet and Aircraft

Thai Airways operates a widebody-focused fleet built for both regional and long-haul comfort, a configuration that suits its role as a connecting hub carrier at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Key aircraft types include:

• Boeing 777-300ER — the airline's long-haul flagship, fitted with Royal First, Royal Silk Business, and Economy Class cabins on its busiest intercontinental routes.
• Airbus A350-900 — a fuel-efficient long-range aircraft featuring a modern 1-2-1 Royal Silk Business Class layout, widely used on routes connecting Bangkok to Europe, Australia, and North Asia.
• Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner — deployed on medium- to long-haul routes, offering a quieter, more comfortable cabin environment thanks to Dreamliner-generation cabin technology.
• Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner — a stretched, longer-range Dreamliner variant that has become an increasingly important part of the airline's renewal strategy, with additional deliveries expected to expand this fleet segment in the coming years.
• Airbus A330-300 — a two-class regional workhorse frequently used on shorter international sectors within Asia, including flights between Bangkok and Singapore.

Since completing its financial restructuring, Thai Airways has also announced a broader fleet modernisation programme, including new widebody and narrowbody orders intended to expand capacity over the next several years. For Singapore travellers, this means access to progressively newer cabins and more frequent connection options via Bangkok as the fleet renewal continues.

Top Flight Routes

For travellers departing from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), Thai Airways offers a direct link to Bangkok that also functions as a convenient gateway to a much wider international network via Suvarnabhumi Airport. Singapore–Bangkok is one of the most frequently travelled routes in Southeast Asia, serving leisure travellers, business commuters, and passengers connecting onward to Europe, North Asia, and beyond.

Some of the most popular route options for Singapore travellers flying Thai Airways include:

• Singapore to Bangkok — the core direct route on this pairing. You can book Singapore to Bangkok flights on Traveloka for a direct hop into Thailand's capital, whether for a short getaway or as the first leg of a longer journey.
• Singapore to Bangkok to Tokyo — travellers heading to Japan can use Bangkok as a connecting point; search Singapore to Bangkok flights on Traveloka and pair them with an onward Thai Airways service to Tokyo.
• Singapore to Bangkok to London — one of Thai Airways' long-haul flagship connections, allowing Singapore-based travellers to reach the United Kingdom with a single-stop itinerary via Bangkok on widebody aircraft such as the Airbus A350-900.
• Singapore to Bangkok to Sydney — a popular one-stop option for travellers heading to Australia, taking advantage of Thai Airways' long-standing Bangkok–Sydney service.
• Singapore to Bangkok to Seoul — a practical connection for travellers exploring South Korea, with onward Thai Airways flights linking Bangkok to Seoul Incheon.
• Singapore to Bangkok to Hong Kong — a useful routing for travellers who prefer to break up a longer Asia itinerary, or who are chasing better fare combinations through Bangkok.

When you check Singapore to Bangkok flight schedules on Traveloka, you'll find multiple daily departure time options, making it easy to plan either a same-day connection or an overnight stopover in Bangkok before continuing your journey. Because fares on these routes move with demand and season, it's worth comparing a few travel dates rather than fixing on a single day — Traveloka's fare calendar and Price Alert feature make this easy to do without constantly re-checking prices manually.

Baggage Allowance and Policies

Baggage allowances on Thai Airways vary by cabin class, and it helps to check the details before you pack:

Checked Baggage

• Economy Class: 30kg checked allowance, with a maximum weight of 32kg per individual bag.
• Royal Silk Business Class: 40kg checked allowance.
• Royal First Class: 50kg checked allowance.

Cabin Baggage

• Economy Class: one cabin bag up to 7kg, with maximum dimensions of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, plus one personal item such as a handbag or laptop bag.
• Royal Silk Business and Royal First Class: two cabin bags with a combined weight of up to 14kg, plus one personal item.

Passengers travelling with sports equipment, musical instruments, or other oversized items should check specific handling requirements ahead of departure, as these are usually treated separately from the standard checked allowance. Since baggage policies can be adjusted from time to time, it's a good habit to confirm the latest allowance for your specific fare and route on Thai Airways' official channels shortly before you fly, and to keep your Traveloka booking confirmation handy at the airport as a reference.

Check-in Guide

Thai Airways offers several check-in options depending on your preference and how far in advance you'd like to complete the process:

• Airport counter check-in: counters open three hours before an international departure and close 60 minutes before scheduled departure. Arriving early is especially advisable during peak travel periods out of Singapore and Bangkok.
• Online check-in: opens 24 hours before departure and closes one hour before departure, allowing travellers to select seats and download boarding passes in advance.
• Self-service kiosks: available at Suvarnabhumi Airport for travellers who prefer a quick, self-guided check-in process upon arrival at the airport.

For a smoother experience on Singapore–Bangkok flights, completing online check-in ahead of time is recommended, particularly if you're travelling with checked baggage or connecting onward to another Thai Airways flight at Suvarnabhumi. Keep your Traveloka e-ticket and any relevant travel documents accessible on your phone or printed out for quick reference at the check-in counter.

Cabin Classes and In-Flight Experience

Thai Airways is well known for the quality of its in-flight service, and its cabin offering spans three main tiers:

Royal First Class

Available on select Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, Royal First Class offers enclosed private suites with seats that convert into fully flat beds reclining 180 degrees. Dining is a highlight of the experience, with a la carte Royal Thai cuisine developed in consultation with Michelin-recognised culinary experts. First Class passengers also enjoy access to the Royal Orchid Spa lounge at Suvarnabhumi Airport before departure.

Royal Silk Class (Business)

On the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, Royal Silk Class features a modern 1-2-1 seating configuration with fully flat beds, giving every passenger direct aisle access. Royal Silk passengers also enjoy Star Alliance lounge access at Suvarnabhumi and partner airports around the world, which is a valuable benefit for travellers connecting through Bangkok on their way to other destinations.

Economy Class

Economy Class seating is designed with ergonomic support for comfort on both short regional hops and longer sectors, complemented by in-flight entertainment systems and complimentary meals featuring a mix of Thai and international dishes. One dish in particular has become something of a signature: Thai Airways' fragrant Thai green curry served with jasmine rice, a favourite among returning passengers. Travellers with dietary requirements can also request special meals in advance through their booking.

Passenger Policies and Special Services

Thai Airways maintains a set of clear policies to support families, solo young travellers, and passengers who need extra assistance:

• Children (2–11 years): require their own seat and ticket.
• Infants under 2 years: can travel on a parent's lap at 10 percent of the adult fare, with bassinets available on request for long-haul flights, subject to availability.
• Unaccompanied minors: mandatory unaccompanied minor service for children aged 5 to 11, and an optional service for those aged 12 to 17. Both require at least 48 hours' advance notice before travel.
• Pregnant travellers: those up to 28 weeks pregnant can fly without restriction. Between 28 and 36 weeks, a medical certificate issued within 7 days of travel is required. Beyond 36 weeks (or 32 weeks for multiple pregnancies), Thai Airways does not accept the passenger for travel.
• Wheelchair assistance: available with at least 48 hours' advance notice.
• Medical equipment on board: requires at least 72 hours' advance notice to arrange.
• Royal Orchid Plus: the airline's frequent flyer programme, with Member, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers offering escalating benefits such as lounge access, priority services, and mileage accrual across the Star Alliance network.

If you or a travelling companion need any of these services, it's best to arrange them as early as possible after booking, since some requests — particularly medical equipment and unaccompanied minor service — depend on advance coordination with the airline.

Reschedule, Cancellation, and Refund Policy

Plans change, and Thai Airways' policies around rescheduling and refunds generally depend on the fare type purchased:

• Rescheduling: can be initiated conveniently through the My Booking section on Traveloka. Flexible fare types (Economy Y, Business C, and First F) generally allow free date changes, while promotional or discounted fares may involve a fare difference and a change fee.
• Cancellations initiated by the airline: if Thai Airways cancels or significantly changes a flight, affected passengers are typically entitled to a full refund or a free rebooking onto an alternative flight.
• Refund processing times: refunds to credit or debit cards typically take between 7 and 30 business days; bank transfer refunds usually take 7 to 14 days; and e-wallet refunds are generally the fastest, processed within 3 to 7 days.

Because refund and change conditions can vary by fare class and by promotional terms at the time of booking, it's always worth reviewing your specific fare rules in the booking confirmation, or reaching out to Traveloka customer support for help interpreting your options before making any changes.

Tips for Finding Cheap Flights on Traveloka

While fares fluctuate constantly based on demand, season, and how far in advance you book, there are a few habits that can help Singapore travellers get better value when flying Thai Airways:

1. Use the fare calendar: Traveloka's calendar view lets you compare prices across different departure dates at a glance, so you can spot which days tend to be more budget-friendly for your route.
2. Set a Price Alert: instead of manually checking fares every day, set up a Price Alert on your preferred Singapore–Bangkok route and get notified when prices shift, so you can decide when the timing feels right for you.
3. Book with some lead time: fares on popular routes like Singapore to Bangkok often trend upward closer to departure, especially around school holidays and major Thai festivals, so booking a few weeks ahead can work in your favour.
4. Be flexible with travel days: midweek departures are often more attainable on price than weekend flights, so if your schedule allows, try adjusting your travel dates by a day or two.
5. Consider connecting itineraries: if you're headed beyond Bangkok — to Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Sydney, or London — comparing a one-stop Thai Airways itinerary via Bangkok against other routings can sometimes reveal a better overall combination of price and convenience.
6. Bundle your booking: adding hotels or airport transfers to your flight booking on Traveloka can unlock additional bundled savings compared to booking each component separately.

None of these tips guarantee a specific price, since airfares are dynamic and change constantly — but combined, they give you a practical framework for booking smarter rather than guessing.

How to Book Flight Tickets on Traveloka

Booking a Thai Airways flight from Singapore on Traveloka takes just a few simple steps:

1. Search your route: open the Traveloka app or website, select "Flights," and enter Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) as your departure point and Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) as your destination, or your onward city if you're booking a connecting itinerary.
2. Compare options: review available Thai Airways flights, checking departure times, cabin class options, and fares side by side. Use the fare calendar to see how prices shift across nearby dates.
3. Select your fare and seats: choose the cabin class that suits your trip — Economy, Royal Silk Business, or Royal First where available — and select seats if you have a preference.
4. Enter passenger details: fill in traveller information accurately, including any special requests such as meal preferences, wheelchair assistance, or unaccompanied minor service if applicable.
5. Choose your payment method: complete payment using PayNow, GrabPay, a credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express), or an interest-free instalment plan on eligible cards.
6. Receive your e-ticket: once payment is confirmed, your Thai Airways e-ticket and booking confirmation will be sent to your email and saved within the Traveloka app under My Booking, where you can also manage rescheduling or refund requests later if needed.

With your booking confirmed, you can turn your attention to the rest of your trip — from arranging a Bangkok hotel to planning what to see once you land — all from within the same Traveloka app you used to book your Thai Airways flight.
