bkk-fra in december
 

planning to book business for me my wife and my baby (18months).

does thai airway allow infant in the business class?

how much miles would i get? is it all to my orchid account or split to me and my wife and my baby?

yes of course they allow infants. infant up to 2 years are free (but no own seat). free bassinets available if not more than 10kg, usually you have to take bulkhead seat, where they can be installed.

you will get 1.25 times miles, but you can't credit your wife's mileage on your account

I think the ticket for infant is 10% of the normal ticket price.

oh sorry! yes you are right! nothing is free. and no seat for the 10% ticket, just the bassinet

TG actually charge 25% of the adult fare for infant without seat.

Is there a Child's Fare?
For an Infant (up to 2 years of age), the fare for international and domestic flights is 10% of the full fare; the infant cannot occupy a seat. For a Child (2-12 years of age), the fare for a seat on a domestic flight is 50% of the full fare. The Child fare for international flights is 50% or 67% of the full fare, depending on the country of origin and destination.

What if my child must travel alone?
THAI aids Unaccompanied Minors (UM) between 5 and 11 years of age, provided they comply with our rules. The parent must go to THAI office in person to complete a form providing details of the parent or guardian who will see the child off and will meet the child on arrival. When the child arrives at check-in, ground staff will help him/her complete formalities. They will accompany the child to the aircraft and introduce him/her to the cabin attendants who will care for the child during the flight. At the destination, ground staff will escort the child to meet the parent or guardian designated on the form.

Are there special children's meals?
THAI serves special child and infant meals. Requests must be made at least 48 hours before departure. You cannot request specific brands of baby meals or powder milk.

Are there onboard facilities for infants?
Request them in advance. There are free baby bassinets for infants weighing not more than 10 kgs. They can be attached to bulkhead anchors. Parents can use their own baby car seat provided it has been certified by the government of manufacturer's country and provided the infant is flying on a child's fare ticket. Diapers are available onboard and there are fold-down diaper changing shelves in the toilets.

From EF, the only fare basis in business that has 10% for infant without seat is the unrestricted business fare CRMTG, pricing in at 178070 THB + tax. Cheaper fare bases in C, such as CRTTH at 144755 THB + tax and all others in D or J are all 25% for infant without seat.
