flag Thai Airways introduces lie-flat Premium Economy Plus seats on short-haul routes, using refurbished seats, but expansion is unlikely due to short flights and costs.

flag Thai Airways has launched Premium Economy Plus seats with lie-flat beds on select short-haul routes from Bangkok to Chennai, Dhaka, Hyderabad, Jakarta, and Kathmandu, using refurbished Zodiac UCS3 seats from retired Virgin Atlantic aircraft. flag The 1-1-1 herringbone layout offers wider seats, 42-degree recline, and 11-inch screens, but the configuration reduces capacity and risks undermining business class appeal. flag Due to short flight durations and financial concerns, the service is unlikely to expand, reflecting broader industry trends of cabin segmentation through pricing and bundled services rather than widespread adoption of lie-flat premium economy.
