Royal Orchid Plus

Royal Orchid Plus is THAI's frequent flyer program. It has a membership of over two million people.

Earning miles There are two types of miles which can be accrued with a Royal Orchid Plus account:

Eligible Qualifying Miles (EQM) are earned on:

• THAI flights
• Flights operated by other carriers that also carry a THAI codeshare (i.e. China Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, El Al, Emirates, Malaysia Airlines and Royal Brunei)
• Flights operated by fellow Star Alliance carriers

Qualifying Miles (Q Miles) are the miles flown as well as the bonus miles earned from travel in particular classes of service on THAI and Star Alliance airlines. Royal Orchid Plus miles are earned based on the paid class of travel.

Partner Miles are earned from non-airline partners, such as hotels.
