Thai Airways

I guess people mostly book their airline tickets online or through an agent these days, myself included. However, I have been struggling to find a reasonably priced ticket to Thailand over the National Day holiday and heard that Thai passport holders with Hong Kong ID can get cheaper tickets. I was sceptical but popped down to the office to check it out and the rumours were in fact true!
As the staff probably have very few customers, they were eager to help and talked me through literally dozens of flight options when all I had found online were ‘fully booked’ notifications.
All I had to do was hand over my Hong Kong ID card and Thai passport and the rate was slashed by three thousand dollars. The only thing is that you have to pay cash up front to get the deal. Thankfully, although the Thai Airways ticketing office is way up on the 24^th floor of a regular office building in Admiralty, there are a number of ATMs and banks downstairs in the mall type area that occupies the lower floors.
The tickets are printed old school style but you can still check in online. Just make sure you don’t lose the paper copy as you receive no electronic record.
I can’t vouch for the regular fares but I was thrilled with my little deal. Thai passport holders should make this their first port of call when looking to get out of Hong Kong — epic rates and quality service.
