Earlier this year we flew from Phuket to Bangkok on Bangkok Airways. As we were waiting for our luggage, I amused myself by seeing how many airlines came up on the baggage carousel screen as being codeshares. The list was (forgive me if I don’t get all the names perfectly correct!):

Air Astana
Cathay Pacific
China Airlines
Emirates
Etihad
EVA
Garuda
Gulf Air
Hong Kong Airlines
Malaysian
Philippine Airlines
QANTAS
Qatar Airways
Singapore Airlines
THAI
Turkish
Vietnam Airlines

That’s an impressive 17 codeshares. Can anyone beat that??

Impressive indeed Ian and one of my favourite airlines.

However the A319-20 leased aircraft are elderly at about 17 years old and I noticed becoming a little worn and scruffy last trip. Perhaps time for a cabin refit or a new(er) Airbus fleet.

I really like them too, especially in business class (where I got amenity kits and slippers on a 3-hour flight!). I love that all passengers get lounge access too, although admittedly the domestic lounge in HKT is somewhat underwhelming!
