I saw many offers before, e.g. 2 night and 3 days in Hong Kong with hotel, transfer and flight ticket for less than 10,000 baht. So I guess a round trip ticket must be less than 10,000 baht.

So Orient Thai is not connected to Amadeus/Galileo/Abacus reservation systems like most other airlines? I know Air Asia is an exception but they have booking on their website and it's part of their cheap prices.

I will pop in somewhere and ask about Orient Thai then.

Ok, I looked at their website and it also look like a cheap airline like Air Asia so I guess you must use their callcenter or email for reservation.

Tkt. & Rvs. 66-2-2673210-5
E-Mail reservation@orient-thai.com

They also write no booking is required, first come first served is their policy. If you want booking they charge an additional fee, according to the website. But this is maybe only for the promotion of domestic flights.

ok thxs nicke,i might just try buy a ticket once i get to hong kong.otherwise my staff travel allows me 75% discount with cathay,just means i have to go via bangkok and instead of the 2.5 hours it would take with orient it will take 8 hours with a stop over in bkk.
