What a unique promotion!

That is fantastic news for me, as during that period about 90-100% of my travel will likely transit in BKK. Do you have a link to this promotion? I couldn't find it on the www.thaiair.com website.

I'll be mid-trip when the promotion period begins. I wonder if I'll get the bonus, even if only for the return leg?

Yeah, I don't think so either...

Sorry for asking, but even after reading the ROP newsletter 3 times, I still can´t find the answer:

Will those bonus miles be counted as EQM or as RDM only?

THAI offers various bonus mileage promotions from time-to-time, and out of all their promotions that I've seen/participated the bonus miles are never EQM, so I'd assume this is the same as in the past.

Just to add: Am I assuming correctly that to qualify all segments have to be on a single ticket?

A bonus! ^ But you have to hold a M class ticket or above! None of these cheap tickets will qualify.

Now that's really a pain. I hadn't noticed the fine print...and I usually try to fly Q fares. Oh well - the thought was nice while it lasted.

Seems like the same information, but no need to download a PDF file:

I've signed up and will even be traveling during that time, but I haven't purchased the tickets yet. I hope I'm able to get a farecode that will get the bonus (I hadn't noticed the farecode restrictions before) and isn't exorbitantly expensive.

Anyone who hasn't signed up yet, deadline is April 15.
