Bangkok, one of Southeast Asia’s most visited destinations, is renowned for its vibrant culture, nightlife, cuisine and temples. This new route to the Thai capital provides greater choice and convenience for both leisure and business travellers.
This launch further strengthens Air India Express’ presence in Thailand. The airline already connects Bangkok with Lucknow, Pune, and Surat, and operates direct flights between Hyderabad and Phuket.
Bengaluru is the largest domestic station of Air India Express, with 440 weekly flights directly connecting 30 domestic destinations and 4 international destinations. The airline has recently expanded its domestic network from Bengaluru, launching new direct services to Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, and Dehradun, enhancing connectivity between the tech capital and these cities.
Elevating the travel experience, Air India Express offers ‘Xpress Biz’ seats, the airline’s business-class equivalent, across more than 40 new aircraft, along with ‘Xpress Ahead’ priority check-in, boarding and baggage handling. Guests can also savour ‘Gourmair’ hot meals, a chef-curated menu that blends authentic regional recipes with popular international favourites, served warm.
As part of its ‘Tales of India’ initiative, Air India Express celebrates the nation’s rich heritage with over 50 unique tail designs inspired by traditional art forms from more than 25 states, featuring patterns such as Sozani embroidery from Kashmir in the North, Assamese Jaapi motifs from the North-East, Bengal’s Kalighat painting from the East, Warli from the West, and Chittara from the South, among many others, showcasing India’s timeless craftsmanship and vibrant cultural diversity.
