United Airlines has brought back its popular discount for college-aged travelers — offering generous savings on select flights to Europe and India with no blackout dates. “Student or not, use our exclusive discount for MileagePlus members between 18 and 23 years old,” the airline shared about the promotion on its website. “Whether you’re traveling abroad to Europe or India, get 15% off United flights.” Until Monday, Dec. 9, United is offering a 15% discount on round-trip tickets to nearly 20 destinations in Europe and India for travel between Jan. 6 and May 25, 2025. To access the discount, travelers must create a MileagePlus frequent flier account and verify their birthdate using a passport or driver’s license. Eligible travelers must be between 18 and 23 years old at the time of booking — not travel. Once their age is verified, they will be able to select the young traveler discount when searching for flights on United’s app. The current discount applies to United or Star Alliance flights to destinations in Europe, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Geneva, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Munich, Paris, Vienna, and Zurich, as well as to select cities in India like Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, and Hyderabad.<br/>

The Tourism Authority of Thailand and EVA Air have renewed their strategic partnership with a four-year Letter of Intent to further boost tourism to Thailand from key international markets. The signing ceremony, held today in Bangkok, was attended by Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, and Albert Liao, Executive Vice President of EVA Air, along with senior executives from both organisations. The LOI was signed by Pattaraanong Na Chiangmai, TAT Deputy Governor for International Marketing – Asia and South Pacific, and Tang Tseng, Vice President of EVA Air. Thapanee said “Our collaboration with EVA Air has delivered exceptional results, showcasing Thailand’s unique culture and warm hospitality. This renewed alliance will inspire more travellers and reinforce Thailand’s position as a must-visit destination.” The renewed partnership focuses on joint marketing campaigns, familiarisation trips for media and travel agents, attractive travel deals with tour operators, and participation in tradeshows and roadshows to maximise visibility. These efforts build on past collaborative initiatives, such as the 2023 tram campaign in Amsterdam promoting Thailand and EVA Air’s Bangkok-Amsterdam flights, which ran in September 2024 and reached 21m impressions. Other successful activities include Thai tourism promotions at the 2024 BOOKIZCON in South Korea and a networking event in Sendai, Japan, involving 11 tourism partners.<br/>
