Thai Airways Direct Flight - NYC to BKK Thai Airways Direct Flight - NYC to BKK
Written by Diane Hutchins Only for the last couple of years has there been a direct flight from NYC to Bangkok. It takes about 18.5 hours, which is quite a long time to spend on one airplane, but there is something to be said for getting on one plane to go to Bangkok and getting off and you are there. If you can afford the extra cost I highly recommend flying the premium economy class. Bigger seats, lots more legroom, and a nice personal entertainment system. In my opinion this is much better than having a layover somewhere for 2-3 hours and spending a total of 24 hours in transit otherwise.
