BANGKOK Thai Airways Internationals is breaking new ground with a frequent flyer bonus campaign that offers members more miles if they stay at home.
Launched earlier this week on the airline’s Facebook page the #StayHomeEarnMiles campaign offers free miles to Royal Orchid Plus members as long as they stay true to the “stay-home orders during the coronavirus pandemic.
Thai Airways EVP commercial Wiwat Piyawiroj commented: “Thai Airways wishes to stand by the side of all people in Thailand during this difficult time by urging them to stay at home in compliance with government recommendations.”
As long as ROP members demonstrate through the app’s tracking features that they are at home, they collect miles to use after the crisis ends.
To take part, Royal Orchid Plus members simply download the Stay Home Miles Exchange app on their mobile devices, and the tracking begins with the clock registering points for future travel.
Miles accumulated will be credited to the passenger’s ROP account on 10 July.
