Using State Power for Personal Gain... and Miles

As posted on Flyertalk, Thailand's Members of Parliament fly free domestically and earn miles for doing so. Thai Airways tried to stop awarding miles on these free tickets, and got called to the carpet. Furthermore,
    He said the House committee also asked THAI to allow MPs to fly business class instead of economy class. Phaichit said the House panel would also ask the Finance Ministry to consider allowing MPs to fly international flights for free on both THAI and other airlines.
As Mel Brooks would say, "It's good to be the king."
