Flying to Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui or Krabi? – Air India to soon offer easier pass-through for baggage

Air India has taken a significant step toward enhancing the travel experience for its passengers heading to Southeast Asia by entering into an interline partnership with Bangkok Airways. This strategic collaboration ensures a seamless journey for Air India passengers, eliminating the need for multiple boarding passes and simplifying luggage transfers.

Under this partnership, Air India travellers gain access to convenient connections beyond Bangkok to 10 key destinations in Southeast Asia. The covered destinations include Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, Sukhothai, Lampang, Trat, Krabi and Phuket in Thailand. Additionally, passengers can access connecting flights to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in Cambodia and Luang Prabang in Laos. For those desiring a visit to Koh Samui, a connecting option via Singapore is also available. With this added convenience hotels like Santiburi Koh Samui can look forward to more arrivals and more tourists can take advantage of Koh Samui hotel offers.

A notable feature of this agreement is the implementation of Inter Airline Through Check-In (IATCI), enabling passengers to receive their boarding passes at the initial point of departure. Furthermore, this streamlined process allows for baggage check-in through to the final destination, enhancing overall travel convenience.
