Brussels Airlines now offers its passengers the possibility to fly direct and in comfort from Brussels Airport to Bangkok. The new flight offer results from a codeshare agreement between Brussels Airlines and Star Alliance partner Thai Airways International (THAI) that operates the flights.
Thailand is one of the most popular Asian holiday destinations on the Belgian travel market. From now on the capital city Bangkok, the key international gateway to the country, is within easy reach of the Brussels Airlines passengers. Thai Airways International and Brussels Airlines recently concluded a codeshare agreement that enables Brussels Airlines to place its SN code on the flights operated by Thai Airways International in the distribution channels and hence to sell tickets.
Since last year Thai Airways International flies 3 times weekly from Brussels Airport direct and nonstop to Bangkok (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). All flights are operated by Thai Airways International with Boeing 777 aircraft and on board passengers can enjoy the superb Thai hospitality. Brussels Airlines passengers can earn and spend frequent flyer miles whenever they travel on this Thai Airways International /Brussels Airlines codeshare scheduled service.

Both Brussels Airlines and Thai Airways International are members of the global airline alliance Star Alliance. “Ever since Brussels Airlines joined the Alliance in 2009, we have been developing our home-baseBrussels Airport into a true Star Alliance hub”, says Brussels Airlines Executive Vice President Commercial Erik Follet. “This new cooperation with our Star Alliance partner THAIis another proof of it.“
“It is with great pleasure that we begin code-share flights with Brussels Airlines, particularly after THAI began direct flights from Bangkok-Brussels on 17 November 2011. As the operating carrier, the code-share agreement between the two carriers will offer passengers greater choice and access in traveling to and from Bangkok-Brussels v.v., with access to other parts of the European Union as well as parts of Southeast Asia,” said Mr. PanditChanapai, THAI Executive Vice President, Commercial
