Since having kids, we’ve made it a habit to arrive at airports 3 hours prior to departure, simply because we want a solid chance at scoring an empty seat for our then 11-month old who’s too big for the bassinet. (OG: Awesome tip, thanks!!) Check-in and pre-boarding with Thai Airways

If you can talk the hubby into minding the kids for an hour, there’s a massage parlour that offers full body and foot massages at relatively decent prices. There’s a tiny play space in the departure lounge, but I’ll be honest – not worth a visit. It’s an awesome airport if you’re planning for some retail therapy, but there’s not much in the way of entertainment for kids. We stopped over in Bangkok for 2 days before we continued our onward journey to Munich (we probably wouldn’t have survived a 24-hour flight with wild toddlers), nevertheless, Suvarnabhumi Airportis still a big and modern airport to transit in with a diverse range of food options ranging from western food chains to traditional Thai cuisine.

This can only be done during check-in because the staff need to determine whether your infant requires a bassinet.
If you’re travelling with an infant, remember that you can’t check-in online and pre-select seats. The process was simple, efficient and safe – our e-tickets were received within 5 minutes of completing the booking. Our flights for our family of 4 were booked directly via the Thai Airways website – sometimes it’s worth checking prices directly because we found an amazing sale fare. Although it is an older aircraft, it is, nevertheless, very well-maintained and has all the entertainment you need to survive a long haul flight with kids allowing parents to come out reasonably sane. On our most recent flight from Melbourne to Munich (via Bangkok), we flew on the Airbus A350 for the Bangkok stretch. This post is part of our flying with kids series – come and see all of our family-friendly airline reviewsįlying with Thai from Melbourne to Munich This is one of the main reasons why we choose to fly with Thai Airways, whether it’s to another destination in Asia or a super long haul to Europe, we just can’t resist a stop in Bangkok to let our tastebuds revel in tangy Thai street food and allow our two young kids to have the time of their lives exploring the city’s family attractions from aquariums to epic play centres. Let’s face it, Bangkok is always a good idea – with or without kids in tow. We welcome to the blog today Tina from Hangry By Nature sharing her family’s experience flying Thai Airways from Melbourne to Munich, via Bangkok
