Good to Know
- Members only: You need a valid FlyerBonus membership during the booking period
- One-way pricing: Points shown are per passenger, per sector—double for round trips
- Taxes not included: You’ll still pay taxes and fees in cash
- No changes or refunds: Once issued, tickets cannot be modified, cancelled, or refunded
- Non-transferable: Award tickets must be used by the member who redeems them—no booking for friends or family
- No infant tickets: This promotion doesn’t cover infant bookings
- Capacity controlled: Award seats are limited and subject to availability
Need More Points?
If you’re short on FlyerBonus points, several Thai credit cards allow point transfers:
- KTC, Bangkok Bank, ttb, Kasikorn, UOB, SCB/CardX, ICBC (Thai)
Check with your card issuer for transfer ratios and processing times before the sale begins.
Verdict
This is a genuinely strong redemption opportunity. At 1,000 points for a one-way Economy flight to popular destinations like Phuket or Chiang Mai, you’re looking at exceptional value—especially for Bangkok Airways’ boutique carrier experience with complimentary meals and lounge access.
The catch is significant though: no flexibility whatsoever. You can’t change dates, routes, or names after booking. And with only a 10-day booking window for an entire year of travel, you’ll need to have your 2026 plans locked in before January.
Bottom Line
If you have FlyerBonus points (or can transfer them quickly), this 80% discount makes premium Thai island-hopping genuinely accessible. Just make sure your travel dates are certain—there’s no safety net once you book through the sale portal.
