Hi guys,

this is the first time I'm going to use Thai Airways services.. (gonna depart at 17th of June) but I don't know how to retrieve my boarding pass via online check in, anyone has the experience how to do the online check in?? (it's so hassle compared to local aviation such as Mas, AA, and Malindo....)

1 ) 24 hours before departure only can do online check in
2 ) boarding pass ?? can only be printed at counter ... hard type with magnetic strip behind ...

immigration ruling etc lar for international flights ... need to have the card type ... not a4 print at home paper type

if you kanchiong want to check whether your booking confirm or not, you will not be able to check it from their website (unless you business class one ler), you can go checkmytrip [dot] com

Hi thanks for your kindly replied
Btw, it's a connecting flight from kl-bangkok-dxb

1) what can I do if I am not be able to online check in? Just check in at klia?

2) so I can only got my boarding pass at klia?

3) it's only economy class....I've checked that my booking is confirmed, just dunno the process of connecting flight and etc.

4) is it all tax already included of the flight tickets I've paid? I'm wonder because I've read some kind of "tax is payable by cash in bkk airport"???

Many thanks and good night.

In the past, before all this online check in started, we'd just go to he check in counter and give them our passports and they will print out the boarding pass for us.

Not all airlines practice online check in. Usually you can just search their website for the online check in page. Some airlines online check in are quite messy and not user friendly too. Different airlines have different kind of online check in. Airasia is by far the earliest that I know you can check in (2 weeks before) while most are either 48 or 24 hours before flight.

What you need to do (and what ppl all over the world flying have been doing all these while):
- arrive at the airport 3 hours before flight
- check which check in counter your airline is at
- queue up to check in at the counter
- provide your passport and booking details (if available) to the staff behind the counter when it's your turn
- the staff will check your booking, you can then ask questions like "is the flight full?" or "Can I get a window seat?" and so on
- the staff will tag your luggage and you say bye bye to it as it moves along the conveyor belt
- the staff will present to you your boarding pass and explain which gate you have to go to and what time is boarding time
- proceed to immigration and customs and then duty free shopping
- go to gate, show boarding pass, board flight

Certain airports (I know mostly are Indonesia and smaller Philippines airports) do not include the airport tax into their flight ticket but majority of the airports do now. Just prepare some cash to be safe. Sometimes info on the internet could be outdated. You won't know until you go there yourself.

You will soon see it's a very easy check in procedure at the counter no hassle at all

1 ) just proceed to counter with passport to drop luggage and collect boarding pass

2 ) yes, only from airport

3 ) connecting flight - if tickets issued under 1 document, luggage will automatically check thru ...

4 ) all tax collected, no payment required (fares include meals, for luggage, if economy class issd by TG documents departing from msia, 30KG)

**bonus KUL BKK DXB is almost 3800 miles, thats alot of miles (depending on the fare you paid), if you are a Star alliance member, adv TG ticketing office your card number, if no, sign up for one now from TG website

Thanks for the replied but

What is star alliance and tg ticketing office??

Is it same as royal orchid plus?

I just registered as "royal orchid plus" member (under star alliance), but I bought the ticket before I am a member so can I still claim for these mileage? If can, what should I do?
