BANGKOK (Reuter): Dararasami Thongcharoen will not have to enter a frequent flyer program when she grows up -- Thai Airways gave her special flying privileges after she was born on board one of its planes.

Dararasami, named after the Boeing 747 her mother was flying on when she gave birth, is now considered a "daughter of Thai Airways".

Airline president Thamnoon Wanglee said that in addition to the special flying privileges, Dararasami will also receive an educational scholarship from the airline. She was born two months prematurely just after the plane landed in Bangkok.
