Ah well. I guess we are each entitled to our opinions. I recently signed up for Thai’s Royal Orchid Plus air mile scheme. By March, I’ll be a silver member and entitled to 50% more baggage allowance.. yeay!

I wouldn’t consider British Airways as an option in future. My only two trips with the airline have not been through choice.

Much like when we went to New York last year. We didn’t fly British Airways or Virgin Atlantic. For 7-8 hours flying time, we don’t want anything spectacular. We settled for the cheapest option, which was United Airlines. Absolutely brilliant. If possible, my next flights to the USA will be with them.

I’m baffled as to how you cannot compare Thai to British Airways and Lufthansa. Over-rated? How are they over-rated?

In all fairness, when you fly Thai, your flights are short haul ones. When you fly British Airways, it is long haul, perhaps 3 or 4 times longer than your experience on Thai.

With me, it’s the other way around. British Airways I fly on short haul and Thai on long haul. On shorter flights, you only experience so much, but when you are flying for 12 hours non-stop, the service has to be a tad better in my opinion.

Thai aren’t fantastic, but they are certainly good. I too, like British Airways, but I’m not so keen on their prices. Why on earth pay more than you have to?
