Thai-me to Fly: Finnair to offer a record number of flights to Thailand

Next winter, Finnair will offer 25 weekly flights between Helsinki and Thailand.

The Finnish flag carrier is increasing frequencies to Bangkok and bringing back direct flights to Krabi. 

Finnair, Finland’s flag carrier, will offer customers a record number of 25 weekly flights next winter between its home hub, Helsinki, and Thailand.

The Nordic airline will resume direct flights to Krabi in southern Thailand and increase frequencies to Bangkok. The flag carrier will also continue to operate its ever popular route to Phuket, showing its commitment to the Asian market.

Customers looking for winter sun can take advantage of Finnair’s 18 weekly flights to Bangkok, four more than this winter, alongside the five weekly flights to Phuket and the two weekly flights over to Krabi.

With up to three daily frequencies, Bangkok is one of Finnair’s long-standing winter favourites, and the additional service has been planned to support customers travelling from the UK via Helsinki.

The new night flight, operated daily from Helsinki to Bangkok will arrive in the afternoon, making it easy for customers to start their holiday in Thailand on the same day.

The additional return flight arrives in Helsinki early in the morning, timed to provide suitable connection times for customers returning back to the UK

Known for its paradise beaches, beautiful scenery and diverse outdoor activities, the airline will be relaunching its direct route to Krabi, with two weekly flights operated from Helsinki – a route which was last operated before the pandemic.

Anssi Partanen, Finnair’s Market Director for the UK and Ireland, said: “Thailand is one of the most popular long-haul winter destinations and we are excited to add weekly flights to Bangkok with smooth connections in Helsinki. And with our direct flights to Krabi we can again offer an alternative for Phuket for those looking for a quieter beach holiday”.

Alongside flights to Thailand, Finnair also offers Brits connections to a number of leading destinations in Asia, including Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Delhi and Singapore.

Finnair offers smooth and easy transfers between flights from as little as 40 minutes, thanks to all flights operating from the same terminal at its Helsinki hub. All services have been timed to allow for easy connections from top UK airports, London Heathrow, Manchester, Edinburgh and the Irish capital Dublin.

Flights to Krabi will go on sale from 30 November.
