The two-character IATA designator TG is what appears in a flight number — TG 123 — and on your itinerary. The three-letter ICAO code THA is used by air traffic control and in flight plans. A third, numeric code forms the first three digits of every e-ticket issued on this airline's stock.

The airline you book may not be the one you fly

A flight number beginning TG means Thai Airways International sold the ticket. On a codeshare, the aircraft and crew may belong to a different airline entirely — look for "operated by" on the itinerary. You check in with the operating carrier, in their terminal, usually under their baggage rules.

Star Alliance membership

Alliance membership affects lounge access, mileage earning and whether baggage is checked through. It does not by itself mean two airlines will look after you when a connection fails — that depends on whether the journey is on one ticket.

How this data is maintained

Airline codes, hubs and alliance membership here are curated by hand rather than taken from a dataset, because no public-domain source covers them with the licence this site needs. They are corrected on report.
