Qantas to Codeshare with Bangkok Airways

Qantas has signed a codeshare agreement with Bangkok Airways which will improve travel options for Qantas customers travelling to Thailand.

From 30 March 2014, Qantas customers will be able to book on Bangkok Airways services from Bangkok and Singapore to six new destinations in Thailand, including Koh Samui, Chiang Mai and Phuket.

Qantas International Chief Executive Officer Simon Hickey said, “This partnership is great news for our customers travelling to resort destinations in Thailand. The new codeshare services will allow customers to connect to their holiday destination via Bangkok or Singapore, with more opportunities to earn frequent flyer points and have their luggage checked straight through to their final destination.”

Qantas and Bangkok Airways are working towards a reciprocal agreement which will enable Bangkok Airways customers to book on Qantas international services from Bangkok and Singapore to Australia, and on a number of routes on Qantas’ domestic network.

The following codeshare services operated by Bangkok Airways will be available for booking and travel from 30 March 2014:

• Singapore – Ko Samui
• Bangkok – Ko Samui
• Bangkok – Phuket
• Bangkok – Chiang Mai
• Bangkok – Krabi
