How & When to Fly Thai 1st Class, MileagePlus Sweetspot Devaluing in 3 Months
July 21, 2017
It only costs 40,000 United miles to fly Thai Airways First Class between South Asia and Australia/New Zealand. A flight between Bangkok and Sydney is nine hours long. 40k is an incredible price for the travel time and quality of the product.
Sadly on November 1 of this year, the price will increase to 65,000 miles. That is not an unreasonable price, but the award will certainly lose its sweetspot status. The devaluation of this international award is not the only change we'll see to MileagePlus this fall.

This review is a continuation of my huge US Airways redemption that I wrote about back in this post. I reviewed Swiss Business Class: Boston to Zurich and Thai First Class: Paris to Bangkok on an A380 already.
This post focuses on Thai's famous Royal Orchid Spa for First Class passengers, and the incredible complimentary massage I received!
Our hulking A380 pulled up to the gate at 6:00 AM Bangkok time, with my internal clock completely out of sorts.
