Thai Airways Scraps Planned Royal Orchid Plus Changes

Thai Airways International has scrapped plans to change its current Royal Orchid Plus Award charts.

Thai’s Royal Orchid Plus new award charts (previously scheduled to take effect on 1 September 2014) and the New Tier Bonus Miles for Platinum and Gold members (previously scheduled to begin on tomorrow, 1 August 2014), will now not come into effect.

This means that members can redeem awards based on the current Royal Orchid Plus Award charts, just as before.

For award travel redeemed and ticketed between 17June and 29 July 2014 in anticipation of the new award structure, award tickets remain valid for one year from the date of issue. However, should a member who redeemed and ticketed during this period wish to change flight dates, fees for this service will be waived during the 1-year validity of the award ticket.
