Thai Airways rolls out discounts for students, seniors, and monks

[snoop1130]

 

 

Thai Airways (THAI) is rolling out jaw-dropping discounts for select travellers, making it the perfect time to pack your bags and fly for less. The national carrier just announced special fares for students, senior citizens, and religious travellers, with massive savings on both domestic and international flights. But hurry, the sale ends on September 30.

 

Students under 25 can now jet off to top international destinations like London, Tokyo, Paris, and more, with unbeatable discounts on economy and business class tickets. A valid university or student card is all you need to score these deals. Whether it’s a gap year adventure or an academic escape, this offer lets you travel in style without breaking the bank.

 

On the domestic front, students aged 18 to 24 can also grab cut-price tickets to popular spots like Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Hat Yai. It’s a golden opportunity to explore Thailand on a budget.

 

 

 

 

Thai citizens aged 60 and above aren’t left out. With this exclusive deal, seniors can fly anywhere within Thailand at discounted rates. It’s never been easier for older travellers to visit family, see the sights, or relax on a tropical beach—all while enjoying huge savings on economy flights.

 

Monks, maechees, priests, and other religious leaders can now travel both domestically and internationally at a special fare. With flexible class options, from economy to first class, and no travel date restrictions, this deal is a blessing in disguise for spiritual travellers, reported Travel and Leisure Asia.

Great these monks have money to travel init, with first class options to-boot, guess they will use their nice new smart phones too, to get the ETA code.

You could get ordained as a monk, free food, accommodation, no cleaning or cooking and wear an off the shoulder 'frock'.

[John Drake]

Utterly jaw dropping. Right.

[impulse]

Let me guess...  Is the discount against some ridiculous list price that nobody except gub'ment officials on a boondoggle would ever pay?  Like you could go onto Agoda and get an even bigger discount no matter who you are?

 

Like the shopping malls that offer an 80% "discount" against a price that they jacked up by a factor of 5 yesterday. 

 

Or, my favorite sign:   Up to 80% off.

Nonsense I never had rude service flying Thai

[Enzian]

I was just in Poland for a month (I'm US citizen), in which time I was denied a senior discount in museums, on trains, etc. only once or twice out of dozens of entries and rides of many kinds. Thailand and Thai Air need to catch up with the world.

so , by the time you hear about it, its gone

[jippytum]

Also  politcians, senators   their family members and Hi So military personell on the freebie list. 

No wonder they went bankrupt. 

[KhunBENQ]

With the dissolved Thaismile Air the 60+ was always available for me. 

So indeed it would be another xenophobic impudence.

[Rolo89]

Haven't flown Thai in years, not worth the premium they charge anyway. Air travel in general is unpleasant so I'll book the cheapest and save my money for worthwhile things 

[john donson]

this helps thai airways how ?  not in debt anymore ?

[Sydebolle]

Well, students flying to London - must apply to 90% of all those presently enrolled in Thai universities. 

Monks were, when I came many decades ago, bare feeting across the land. Then the loud coloured sofas came into waiting lounges and now there are special discounts for the men of the cloth? 

Senior citizens (like me) are sorted into two categories and one is Thai. 

Irrespective of all that, Thai remains still just out of league with their tariff structure and have not learnt a thing from their Thai Smile excursion, which apparently had accrued a 20,000,000,000 Baht loss carried forward. 

Only once they understand to do what the customers want and forget about their arrogance, that customers should buy whatever the semi-divine leaders of Thai Airways think ...... 

[Yagoda]

I dont fly Thai air unless I go to Frankfurt, then maybe

[The Old Bull]

Thai Smile always had a 10% discount for seniors until Thai airways took them over. about a year ago.
