Free air tickets to boost tourism

BANGKOK: Thai Airways International (THAI) has announced a campaign to celebrate its 43rd anniversary by giving away 20,000 tickets as prizes in a lottery among passengers who fly on the airline between now and September 30. The “Luck Is In The Air” campaign will, it is hoped, attract tourists to make repeat visits to Thailand. A total of 16,000 free tickets have been allocated to passengers on in-bound flights who choose to join the draws, while the remaining 4,000 will be drawn and awarded to passengers on domestic and out-bound flights. A free ticket will be awarded to one person on each in-bound flight, with the winner being announced during the flight. Winners will receive non-transferrable free tickets for the same route and class as their original ticket. The free tickets are valid from April 1 to June 30 next year. Domestic and outbound passengers wishing to take part should fill in an application form at the check-in counter and send it to THAI. If they win, they will be notified by mail. Winners’ names are also posted on the airline’s website. (See https://www.thaiairways.com/luckinair.htm .) Free return tickets are on offer between Bangkok to 10 domestic airports – Phuket, Trang, Krabi, Surat Thani, Haad Yai, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phitsanulok, Khon Kaen and Ubon Ratchathani. The free domestic tickets will be valid from October 1 to December 31 this year.
