SkyTeam member Air France and its partner KLM have issued a discounted premium economy class fare to Bangkok, with flights for €838 from Vienna. Sadly, this is a premium economy light fare, that does not include checked bags. If you do not have a SkyTeam Elite or Elite Plus status, you have to pay €150 more to select Premium Standard fare, including 2×23 kg checked bags. Most departures are available in June, August, and September, with some dates in November 2025 and April 2026.

First, you will take a feeder flight to either Paris or Amsterdam to connect with your premium economy flight to Bangkok. If you fly with KLM, you will travel on their Boeing 777, which has a 2-4-2 configuration (compared to the 3-4-3 in economy). If you fly with Air France, you will fly on their Airbus A350, also with a 2-4-2 configuration in premium economy. From personal experience, we recommend flying KLM, if possible.
Air France has two different types of premium economy seats. The seats in their Boeing planes do not recline in the conventional sense but instead slide forward. This can be a bonus, especially on a day-flight since you’re not disturbed by the person sitting in front of you. Tall passengers, however, have difficulties sleeping, as “reclining” leads to very limited leg room. The seats in Airbus A350 planes are better and are closer to the competition. Air France’s premium economy, however, has a major downside that has nothing to do with the seats: The cheapest fare includes 0 checked luggage to most destinations! Furthermore, the service and catering are often disappointing.
KLM has recently added a small premium economy cabin to most of its Boeing long-haul planes. The seats are among the best on the market, the service is good, and you also get SkyPriority services at the airport. However, there is a big downside to flying with KLM: Except on US flights, KLM’s premium economy includes no free luggage.
Most European citizens can enter Thailand visa-free for 60 days when travelling for touristic purposes.

Information & Tips for Bangkok
Bangkok is known for its vibrant street life, cultural landmarks, and bustling markets. Key sights include the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and the lively Khao San Road. The local currency is the Thai baht (THB), and while credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and large stores, cash is preferred for smaller vendors. The city is relatively affordable, with street food and public transport offering great value. Bangkok has a tropical climate, with hot and humid weather year-round, a rainy season from May to October, and cooler, more comfortable temperatures from November to February.
