thai airways . upgrade to biz class

[thaiscot]

my parents are coming to visit next year flying london to bkk , i would like to see if i can get them upgraded to buisness class as a surprize for them (they have never ever flown buisness class before) would i be able to do it if i get there booking ref number etc

i have looked on thai airways website but seen nothing about upgrades

anyone with any experience of doing this ?

Best and easiest way is if they book through the Thai Airways own website.

Then armed with the booking reference should be straightforward.

If you have a Thai Airways office close your home, go to the Thai Airways office and every thing take about 10 min no problem.

O/t, but, If they haven't already booked, consider another airline as the Thai planes are pretty tired for the most part and their business seats are way behind others, and generally more expensive.

My guess is they want to fly direct.

That leaves only BA or EVA.

They are expensive, but it's probably better than they have flown before..

If using Thai Airlines direct ... would his parents be asked for the credit card @ the check-in if upgraded?

I fly frequently ''Business Class'', with various Airlines, Mostly ''Thai Airways'' and ''British Airways''.......

Both have various good points, but for me, its the ''Flat Bed'' that is important.. , Food and Beverages'' are my least concern..

If your parents do book ''Coach'', if you get the booking ref, just go to any ''Thai Airways'' office and you can upgrade simple enough..

if you choose , ''British Airways'' that can be done on line, simply enough..

I am sure they will love the added Luxury..

Maybe I'm missing something, but the OP is asking if he can get a free upgrade?

If it was that easy we'd all be doing it.
