Earlier, Thai Airways announced its bankruptcy restructuring, and received $1.81 billion from the government to cope with the sharp demand slump caused by the pandemic. But today, the airline’s official website has also posted an update, temporarily restricting mileage redemption.
From now on, redemption on all Star Alliance Air Awards, Hotel Awards, and some Lifestyle Awards is temporarily not available until further announcement. We do apologize for the inconvenience that may cause.
Although the U.S. Big Three airlines remain relatively stable after government support and their own layoffs, I still recommend that you hold on to your bank points and cash and do not easily transfer or buy points.
