Flying with Thai Airways always promises a blend of comfort, attentive service, and lovely crew.

Known for their flavourful Thai dishes, the airline ensures that even long-haul flights are enjoyable with generous meal portions and continuous service.

INTRO

I have flown numerous times with Thai Airways in economy class and have documented my experiences in previous articles (links to these articles can be found here, here, and here).

One of the biggest tips when flying Thai Airways is to always order the Thai option.

These dishes are generally full of flavor and work well at altitude due to the ingredients used.

MELBOURNE TO BANGKOK

On this 8.5-hour flight from Melbourne to Bangkok, Thai Airways provided two meal services, both of which were served on meal trays.

Many airlines are currently downsizing or eliminating their second meal services on certain flights, but Thai Airways has continued to provide this service.

For the first meal service, I selected the curry dish, which was delicious and accompanied by smoked salmon and a vegetable salad.

The dessert was a chocolate mousse cake with a biscuit crumb. Additionally, some cheese and crackers were provided.

Overall, I found this to be one of the best economy class meals I have had on Thai Airways.

The chicken curry was particularly enjoyable, the rice was fluffy, and the quantity of food provided was generous.

The second meal was served approximately 1.5 hours before arrival and consisted of chicken with beans and rice.

There was no choice for this meal service, but it was substantial and also included pre-packaged fruit, almonds, and a cookie.

While not as impressive as the first meal, I appreciated the airline’s effort to provide a decent meal for the second service.

BANGKOK TO PARIS

I decided to break my usual routine of always ordering the Thai option and tried the Western-style breakfast dish.

It consisted of a frittata accompanied by savory sausage, hearty potatoes, fresh broccoli, and juicy tomato.

While the Western-style breakfast dish was delicious, it goes without saying that the traditional Thai flavors reign supreme when it comes to onboard cuisine on Thai Airways.

CONCLUSION

Overall, my experiences with Thai Airways reaffirmed my appreciation for their economy class service.

Despite some changes and challenges faced by the airline industry.

Thai Airways continues to prioritize passenger comfort and satisfaction, particularly with their meal offerings.
