More destinations, 

convenient connections 

Thai Airways International, with over 100 flights a week including 

codeshare services between Thailand and the great cities of Europe is 

the airline of logical first choice for passengers travelling from Australia. 

If you’re flying straight through to Europe, many of the services from 

Australia have immediate connections to most cities. When thinking of 

Europe, think THAI. 

With around 80 flights a week, THAI flies non-stop to 13 destinations 

in Europe: Athens, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, 

Moscow, Munich, Oslo, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Zurich. The direct flights 

from Bangkok to Oslo, our newest and third destination in Scandinavia, 

avoids the need to fly via the Middle East or London. Plus our codeshare 

arrangements with other Star Alliance carriers allow an even wider choice. 

Our airline partners in Europe 

From our European gateways, THAI and its partner airlines can take 

you to almost every corner in Europe. Austrian, British Midland (bmi), 

Lufthansa, Scandinavian and Spanair offer convenient connections from 

London, Frankfurt, Munich, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Madrid to a 

vast number of important cities in continental Europe and the UK.

Airbus A340-500. THAI’s revolutionary 

aircraft features a 215-seat configuration, with three cabin classes 

including 60 Royal Silk Class seats, 42 Premium Economy Class seats 

and 113 Economy Class seats.

THAI, the largest airline 

in South-east Asia 

Asia, home to half the world’s population, is a dynamic 

region in terms of economics and business. Whether 

you are travelling from Australia to Asia for business or 

pleasure, or if you are planning a stopover as part of a 

world trip or European holiday, it makes sense to fly with 

Thai Airways International – the airline that covers more 

countries in South-east Asia than any other airline.
