United Airlines Resumes Direct Flights to Thailand After 10-Year Hiatus
United Airlines has announced a significant improvement for American travelers, resuming direct flights to Thailand after a decade-long hiatus. The new route between Los Angeles (LAX) and Bangkok (BKK) launches on October 26, 2025, operating daily.
The new direct flight will make the journey easier and less stressful for travelers. The total travel time will be around 19-20 hours, a significant improvement over previous multi-airline layovers. The flight will be operated by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, ensuring a comfortable journey.
For West Coast travelers, the new flight provides a seamless, one-plane journey to Thailand. For those from the rest of the U.S., a simple, one-stop itinerary is available, connecting through Los Angeles. The flight will make a brief technical stop in Hong Kong, but passengers will not have to change planes. This reduces the hassle factor by eliminating the need to navigate a second airport, go through a second security screening, or risk missed connections or lost luggage.
The return of this route re-establishes a vital link to a country famous for its incredible food, rich culture, stunning temples, and world-class beaches. United Airlines' decision to resume direct flights to Thailand after a decade-long hiatus is a welcome development for American travelers seeking to explore this captivating destination.
