Thaiair - Allocating Royal Orchid Plus Number

[deankham]

I've just booked a flight on Thai airways via Opodo.

..Do you know if it's possible, using www.thaiair.com, to allocate my Royal Orchid plus membership details to this flight?

This feature is possible with Virgin & BA but could not seem to find a way with Thai.

Also, does anyboby know why you can book Thai flights (international travel) cheaper through Opodo, lastminute, etc than by using Thai airways website? I thought most airlines gaurantee to offer you the best deal by booking direct? Saved myself £170 using Opodo vs Thaiair website.

Thanks,

Dean.

No you cannot do it online. Just show your TG card at checkin and be sure it shows up like "TG*" or similar on your boarding pass.

Call TG - should be able to add this to your reservation, if not do as George says.

They do, but sometimes that concept is not as simple as one might think. The guarantee, if any, will pertain to published fares. Ticket consolidators (bucket shops) will generally have access to, and can offer, unpublished fares.
